It’s never too early to start planning a vacation! If you’ve wanted to see what Africa was like, you might want to think about joining Holland America as they cruise for 73 days with ports of call in San Juan, Puerto Rico; Funchal, Madeira; Durban, South Africa; Victoria, Mahe, Seychelles; Safaga and Alexandria (Cairo), Egypt; and Malaga, Spain.
Cruise guests will explore modern Africa and all it has to offer in grand style experiencing a flavor of the continent’s native customs and cultures intertwined with the lasting influence of colonial times. Shore excursions run the gamut and include visits to richly-appointed palaces, vibrant outdoor markets, stilt villages, and newly celebrated wine regions.
The Grand Africa Voyage gives guests ample time in the most dramatic destinations. Savor a taste of the Caribbean on a port call to sun-splashed Grand Turk; and relax on a restful ocean crossing then relish romantic Casablanca, Morocco. Wander amid a kaleidoscope of tapestries in the open-air markets of French-influenced Dakar, Senegal. Watch for pelicans, flamingos, springbok, ostrich and other rare creatures near the pristine natural lagoon of Walvis Bay, Namibia. In picturesque Bavarian Luderitz, Namibia, learn about diamond mining and desert life at the Luderitz Museum.
