Explore Africa in one of the most extraordinary ways — on an Africa cruise. This diverse continent offers far more than just wildlife; it’s a journey into vibrant culture, rich history, and stunning natural beauty. Cruising Africa provides access to both iconic destinations and off-the-beaten-path treasures, all with the comfort of luxury ocean or expedition travel.
Many travelers choose Africa cruises for immersive land programs and safari extensions in places like Kruger National Park or private game reserves across the Eastern Cape. These unforgettable adventures offer the chance to witness Africa’s legendary Big Five: lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalo.
Along the southern coast, popular excursions include wine tasting in the Stellenbosch wine estates, historical tours of Robben Island, and penguin spotting at Boulders Beach. UNESCO World Heritage Sites throughout the continent combine cultural heritage and natural wonders, giving travelers a deeper connection to each port of call.
To the west, West Africa cruises sail along the Atlantic coast, showcasing Ghanaian drumming, Angolan street art, and local seafood feasts. Stops in Morocco bring you to Casablanca’s cafés, Moorish architecture, and bustling medinas, offering a colorful finale to your journey.
From Namibia’s vast dunes and Zanzibar’s spice markets to the Seychelles’ coral atolls, every itinerary celebrates Africa’s diversity.
With Vacations To Points, you’ll enjoy exclusive pricing, onboard perks, and the ability to earn loyalty rewards as you sail. Discover Africa in comfort, and let your cruise become part of a journey that gives back.

Things To Do
Your Adventure Starts Here
Africa’s cruise routes are as diverse as the continent itself, blending iconic ports with hidden coastal gems; typical African cruises begin or end in Cape Town, South Africa’s crown jewel. Itineraries commonly hug the coastline sailing toward Durban, Maputo, and Mombasa. For those looking to getaway to this destination can expect to find cruises ranging from 9 to 14 days, offering a perfect balance between sea days, vibrant port calls, and immersive excursions.
Cruise highlights on luxury cruise sailings from Cape Town often visit Mozambique and Tanzania, tracing the Indian Ocean rim toward Kenya. Along the way, guests can explore Maputo’s colonial architecture, snorkel off Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago, or enjoy tropical overnights in Zanzibar before concluding in Mombasa. Select itineraries extend farther into the Seychelles and Mauritius, showcasing coral-fringed islands and pristine lagoons accessible only to smaller luxury ships.
For those seeking extended exploration, select grand itineraries combine the best of both coasts — linking Cape Town to Casablanca or connecting Africa with the Canary Islands or the Mediterranean. Lines such as fun with duck feature these one-of-a-kind routes, offering a seamless blend of luxury and adventure across thousands of nautical miles. There are also several World Cruises that offer an extensive Africa experience circumnavigating from East Coast northward towards the Mediterranean or Scandinavian countries.
