Africa & the Indian Ocean Islands
Say farewell to 2017 in style on an exploration of the beautiful landscapes of Mauritius and Réunion Island, before kicking off the New Year in Madagascar, Mozambique and South Africa. You’ll have the chance to enjoy a host of unmissable experiences. Seek out lemurs and chameleons in Madagascar; uncover fascinating architecture in Mozambique; go in search of rhinos, giraffes, lions and more on a safari tour; and immerse yourself in the city of Cape Town.
Boulders Beach
Knysna
Madagascar
The Mauritian capital of Port Louis, a city famed for its mix of cultures and religions, is the perfect start to your holiday. From here you can visit the dramatic Trou-aux-Cerfs Volcano, sacred lake and the unique
‘Seven Coloured Earth’ sand dunes; get up close to lions at the Casela Nature Park; or explore the stunning Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens. Réunion Island follows, with spectacular volcanic landscapes, lush valleys and cascading waterfalls.
You’ll then reach Toliara in Madagascar – a first for Fred. Olsen. Stay in the city to take in the traditional African architecture and bustling markets from the back of a Pousse-Pousse (rickshaw); or visit Arboretum d’Antsokay to encounter endemic fauna and flora, including lemurs, chameleons and Baobab Trees.
Next stop is the lively Mozambican capital, Maputo. Highlights include the iconic Central Train Station, the Natural History Museum and the Eiffel-designed Casa de Ferro ‘Iron House’ – before the South African leg of your voyage begins in Richards Bay. Visit the Dumazulu cultural village to experience authentic, friendly Zulu hospitality and learn about the
traditional arts, crafts and ways of life of the Zulu Kingdom; or opt for an unforgettable experience at the Hluhluwe Game Reserve, home to elephants, lions, giraffes, rare White Rhinos and much more.
Continuing on, you’ll arrive in Port Elizabeth; a perfect stop for even more wildlife adventures at the nearby Addo Elephant Park and the game reserves of Kariega and Lalibela. Nature and spectacular scenery await you at your next port of call, Mossel Bay. Take a boat tour around Seal Island, which is populated by over 2,500 Cape Fur Seals; visit Knysna, on the picturesque Garden Route; or travel to Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world.
The cruise comes to an end with almost two days in Cape Town, before you head for home. Highlights include Table Mountain, the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and Boulders Beach, home to a colony of African Penguins. Tours offer the chance to explore the scenic Winelands; the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens; the stunning Cape Point Peninsula; and Signal Hill, from where you can watch the sunset as you indulgently enjoy champagne and oysters.
