From the Mediterranean coast to the tip of the Cape of Good Hope, the African continent is home to some of the world’s most breathtaking sights. Step into the land of the Pharaohs with a cruise on the River Nile and stand in awe in front of the mighty Pyramids and the great temples of Luxor and Karnak. Take in the magnificent views from the top of Cape Town’s Table Mountain before cruising northwards to Namibia and then west across the Atlantic to Rio. For a shorter cruise, take a round-trip from South Africa to Mozambique; or a voyage around the islands of the Indian Ocean. The delights of Madagascar, the Maldives, Zanzibar, the Seychelles and the Comoros Islands are equally beautiful, yet all strikingly different. For bustling bazaars and local crafts, head for North Africa and Moroccan ports such as Marrakech and Tangier; or discover some of the finest sites of Ancient Rome in Libya and Tunisia. The possibilities for African cruises are as diverse and as exhilarating as the continent itself.
