Africa & Indian Ocean Cruises

From incredible wildlife to pristine beaches, set sail on a spectacular cruise of Africa and enjoy the unforgettable sights that this diverse continent offers in abundance.

As one of the most expansive regions on the planet, it's perhaps not surprising that Africa provides visitors with such a wealth of things to do and see. Whether it be the Serengeti savannah, the dramatic snow-capped peaks of mount Kilimanjaro or the lush tropical rainforest of Uganda, Africa certainly isn't short of stunning landscapes. With fascinating history and traditions, extraordinary wildlife-watching opportunities, and warm hospitality all thrown into the mix, it's no wonder that many first-time visitors to Africa are anxious to return.

Home to a staggering array of wild beasts, the chance to set off on a safari remains one of the biggest draws for visitors to Africa. With lions, leopards, elephants, hippos, rhinos and gorillas among the local inhabitants, it's an absolute must for animal lovers. Those with a penchant for idyllic islands are also very well catered for, with the beautiful white sand beaches of Mauritius and Madagascar sure to delight. With deserts, mountains, ancient sites and vibrant cities also ripe for exploration, one cruise of Africa simply isn't enough to explore everything that this vast continent has to offer.

Our Africa cruises allow you to discover the highlights of this astounding continent, while enjoying a wide range of amenities, activities, and mouth watering dining options all aboard the ship. Whether you are wandering through the winding souks of Morocco, soaking up the sunshine on a postcard-worthy Mozambique beach, or taking in the sights along the impressive Suez Canal in Egypt, a sensational holiday is guaranteed. Enthralling natural wonders, exciting new experiences and incredible floral and fauna await on an unforgettable cruise of Africa.
