Africa Cruise Reviews

I recently embarked on the 7 night Cape Verde cruise with Variety Cruises. The trip was incredible from start to finish. The itinerary meant we were able to visit much of Cape Verde, including Sal, Santiago, Fogo, San Vicente, Santa Antao, Mindelo and Boa Vista! Because we were able to visit so many islands, we saw so many different perspectives of this amazing country, including volcanos and ...

This was my 15th Princess cruise and the best yet in terms of the ship itself. The ports of Azores, Madeira, Casablanca, Cadiz and Lisbon were fine but not trip highlights for me. Note: if one of your main concerns is the main dining room or the specialty restaurants, look elsewhere as I no longer go there on any cruise. The ship is beautiful. The whole boarding process from being bused ...

I had always wanted to return to South Africa since living there as a child. For our retirement we planned a dream vacation that began in Cape Town, picked up the NCL Dawn for a 12 night cruise and should have culminated in a 4 day stay in Mauritius, but as a result of the authorities suspecting a cholera outbreak on board we missed out on our Mauritius stay. I have cruised for over 40 years ...

Although our cruise choices are by no means exclusively with Saga, we chose this cruise as we have enjoyed several cruises with them in the past and this one particularly suited us having recently had a few health issues to cope with. We're never quite convinced that Saga's all-inclusive offering is the value for money they claim it to be but the fact that (nearly) everything is paid for in ...

I’ve read numerous reviews about Regent claiming they have slipped and are no longer a true luxury line. Don’t believe it for a minute! We sailed on the Seven Seas Voyager from Cape Town to Rio and LOVED our crossing. We booked a Penthouse Suite, one of the smaller suites with a Butler, and were totally impressed with the cabin, the service, the food, and yes, even the aging ship which is ...

This was my second cruise. The first one I took in 2023 afeb from CPT to Namibia. I had the best time of my life on MSC Sifonia. It was my very first time and I thought I will bring my two daughters with. Which I did for the MSC Splendida to Mozambique. The entire experience is amazing. You can be anywhere in the world while you are inside the cruise. Dress to kill, go for shopping, clubbing, ...

We selected this cruise to cruise over the Christmas and New Year's Holidays and we had an amazing time. This was our fourth holiday cruise; all with Crystal and on Crystal Serenity. This is also our third voyage since since the inaugural cruise of Crystal this year. For those who used to like old Crystal, my view is new Crystal is like old Crystal but better. The crew makes Crystal very ...

We chose the Viking Panama Canal 16 day cruise because of the opportunity for extended sea days mixed with South American tropical ports of call. This itinerary afforded us ample time aboard to take advantage of multiple Nordic Spa days, daily promenade walks at sunrise, sunsets on our veranda and star lite nights. Quiet times to sunbath with a good book or reflect upon the soul stirring live ...

We came back yesterday having spent a couple of days in Barcelona and then a 12-night cruise on the Celebrity Infinity sailing to Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, Casablanca, Tangier, Cadiz, Valencia, Barcelona. The Infinity is the very first ship we ever sailed on, and now with many cruises under our belts, we were looking forward to seeing her again. Last time we had a standard balcony stateroom ...
