Africa and Indian Ocean (23 Dec ’24)

Overview

This Christmas cruise around the Indian Ocean embarks in Cape Town then ventures to Mossel Bay, at the western end of South Africa’s Garden Route. There will be plenty to keep you amused onboard for the following sea day, before reaching East London wildlife-rich savannas, best seen on an Abercrombie Kent safari tour. Sail to Madagascar via two sea days, disembarking in little-visited Taolagnaro, a small town on the island’s southeastern tip almost entirely circled by beaches. Ring in 2025 on your way to the island of La Reunion, followed by Mauritius with its dreamy powder sands lapped by clear blue waters. Your journey ends in the Seychelles, at its largest island, Mahe.
