Description 14 Night cruise departing roundtrip from Cape Town onboard Europa 2.

Encounter the heritage of long-gone epochs in Luderitz and the multicultural charm of modern cities in the south of the African continent. The EUROPA 2 will take you to pristine steppes, unique desert landscapes and impressive wildlife reserves.

Highlights of this cruise:

Cape Town/South Africa
The EUROPA 2 will be waiting to welcome you aboard in the hip city at the foot of Table Mountain.

Luderitz/Namibia
With its historic and lovingly preserved art nouveau buildings, this colourful town invites you to take a step back in time. Enjoy a walk around at your own pace and immerse yourself in the nostalgic charm of Luderitz.

Walvis Bay/Namibia
Namibia’s third-largest city is surrounded by areas of sand, which are interrupted in the south west by a lagoon inhabited by numerous flamingos. A scenic flight over the desert landscape of Sossusvlei* will take you over orange sand dunes, which – with heights of over 300 m (984 ft) – are some of the tallest in the world. An all-terrain vehicle is the perfect way to explore the untouched nature of the Namib desert*. Or opt for an overland excursion with re-embarkation the next day in Walvis Bay in Etosha National Park* or in the desert landscape of Sossusvlei* with a night in a safari lodge.

Port Elizabeth/South Africa
Fantastic beaches stretching 16 km (9.9 mi.) along the coast invite you to stay and sunbathe. For something different, visit more than 400 colossal creatures in Addo Elephant National Park*, or embark on a two-day overland safari excursion* to get up close to the “big five”, before you re-embark in Durban.

Durban/South Africa
Asian, European and African influences blend together in this cultural melting pot. Visit the Indian market, the Vasco da Gama clock or the Botanic Gardens. Beyond Durban, embark on a canopy adventure* and explore the green treetops of the exotic forests with the help of some ropes and suspended bridges.

Mossel Bay/South Africa
The “Bay of Mussels” lies on a plateau and makes the ideal starting point for a visit to an ostrich farm in Oudtshoorn* and the Cango Caves*, an extensive underground dripstone cave network. Alternatively, enjoy a scenic tour* along the famous Garden Route.

Cape Town/South Africa
Enjoy the view from your veranda as the EUROPA 2 cruises into the port of this cosmopolitan city. Experience Table Mountain* or take a tour in a classic car*. A helicopter flight* over two oceans will give you a bird’s-eye view of Clifton, Camps Bay, the vineyards of Constantia and Table Mountain. After one final night on board, your cruise on the EUROPA 2 comes to an end.
