A holiday to South Africa is certainly going to be a trip that you remember for a very long time, but mix that trip with a luxury cruise and it is something that you will ultimately never forget.
There are many cruise lines offering South Africa itineraries in 2016/17 and they include: Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Cunard, Silversea, Holland America Line, Voyages to Antiquity, Oceania Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. Each cruise line offers something different, with some offering extended land programmes and others offering safari options in several ports of call on one voyage, but nearly all include calls to the most popular ports for wildlife adventures: Port Elizabeth, Mossel Bay and Richard’s Bay.
