Review for a Africa Cruise on Norwegian Dawn

10+ Cruises • Age 40s
We booked this 12 day cruise to South Africa & Namibia when we found out our Israel/Egypt cruise with Celebrity wouldn't be going ahead due to the political situation there.
When we booked we were going to spend only 3 days at sea with long port days in most of the ports of call including 2 full days in Namibia. Due to several itinerary changes including the last change being only a week ...

Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Pursuit

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
We are fairly experienced "cruisers" having been on 8 cruises with Viking, four with Norwegian, and one each on Holland America and UniWorld. Obviously, Viking is our "go to" cruise line (we have three more ocean and two river cruises booked through the spring of 2026). We chose this Azamara cruise because the itinerary offered stops that weren't readily available. This was a repositioning cruise, ...

The Azamara Pursuit provides a good, solid, mid-market/premium experience. Embarkation was almost too fast and efficient. The staff had us aboard the ship, being hustled to the safety briefing. before we knew it. We felt we missed out on the joy of arriving and embarking on a new cruise adventure.
The ship is comfortable and well maintained, the crew is friendly and helpful. The number of ...

This was the second time on the Norwegian Dawn. First time was not a long time ago, in July 2023, cruise to the UK/Ireland and Scotland. The worst cruise ever! But as we were so dissatisfied of this cruise, we received money back and a voucher of 25% for next cruise. As this cruise to SouthAfrica is very expensive, it was a great moment to use the money and voucher. And fortunately, the flights ...

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Seven Seas Voyager

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
This South Atlantic crossing disembarked at Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Most guests from US, Canada and Australia had endured the nightmare of obtaining the Brazilian visitor visa prior to the cruise. At the last moment the Brazil government postponed the visa requirement due to the mishandling of VFS Global, the Brazil government visa application agent. This was the most talked about topic amongst ...

Special birthday pressie to ourselves. Much prefer a smaller ship and the Pursuit turned out to be only half full which whilst even more comfortable for us must have been a disappointment for Azamara. Did mean there were numerous quiet places around the ship where passengers could sit etc and it was rare to struggle to get a seat anywhere. Despite the obvious spare capacity upgrades were very ...

Review for a Africa Cruise on MSC Orchestra
Two SA travellers
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
We chose this cruise as we felt it was very good value for money, and we were proved correct. We arrived at the terminal at 10:30am for a so-called embarkation at 12:00, and found at least a couple of hundred passengers ahead of us whose boarding time was later than ours. As a result of chaotic disembarkation from the previous cruise, we waited over three hours to board to receive our cabin cards, ...

For our first cruise embarking from a port outside the U.S. and our first cruise w/ Azamara, what an experience South Africa was! Not that we’re new to cruising. It’s just that the 25 or so cruises we’ve taken over the years haven’t been quite as memorable or immersive as this one. Our key takeaway… We really do prefer the atmosphere, service, and conviviality of smaller ship cruising, and the ...

Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Journey

10+ Cruises • Age 50s
This was our second time on the Journey, we previously had sailed a Baltic’s itinerary in 2018. We loved that itinerary, this one was not as good for us. Be aware that the ports are chosen for the safari tours you can take from the ports, not the actual ports. There is really nothing to do and most are very poor. Be sure to plan excursions!
The ship is still in good shape. Our cabin was very ...

First time with Azamara. We chose the cruise as we liked the itinerary around South Africa. Unfortunately one of the key ports of Durban was cancelled about a month before we departed due to the South Africans hosting the Russian navy…..
Cape Town was the highlight, and we enjoyed Maputo. We were very fortunate to have booked private tours from Richards Bay with a fantastic guide name Don ...
