Africa Cruises

Embark on an extraordinary voyage to the diverse shores of Africa with Norwegian Cruise Line. Come face-to-face with white rhinos, elephants, cheetahs, lions, zebras and more in an Open Game Drive Safari. Hluhluwe Game Reserve is one of the oldest proclaimed reserves in Africa, and only an hour away from Richard's Bay. This once in a lifetime experience awaits on your next cruise to Africa.

Choose from remarkable itineraries on three beautiful ships, Norwegian Spirit, Norwegian Jade and the recently refurbished Norwegian Dawn. Some itineraries include an overnight stay in Cape Town, the Seychelles, Egypt or Richard's Bay, allowing you to explore even more. Linger longer as you tour vineyards and sip estate wines in Cape Winelands. Discover funky Kloof Street with its eclectic bars and cafes. Or take a bus tour to Signal Hill for a magnificent sunset. Explore the splendor of ancient tombs in Safaga, Egypt. And be sure to catch the sunset over the Indian Ocean.

Dutch, French, Indian and Malaysian meld to create the Afrikaans-style of cooking. Braai or shisa nyama, which means ‘burn the meat,’ is like western BBQ. For a meaty snack, try Biltong. Served in a brown bag, these spiced strips are akin to jerky. Wondering about Slap Chips? Try these vinegar-doused fries alone or in a Gatsby sandwich. Seafood lovers can rejoice too at Mossel Bay, whose name means bay of mussels. Need a ‘dop’ or drink? A favorite is Amarula, a cream liqueur made from the fruit of the Marula tree. Elephants get drunk eating its fermented fruit.
