OCEAN CRUISING

Surrounded by glistening bath-warm waters stopping on blanket-soft sands, sailing these parts is the epitome of blissful escapism.

An area of petite perfection teeming with distinct archipelagos blessed with sun-filled days, surprisingly some areas of the Indian Ocean fly a degree or two under the mass tourism radar, remaining wild and untouched yet still undeniably inviting.  

A land of colour and contrasts, Africa's boundless expanse of coastline stirs the soul and senses, adding its Tanzanian red skies, Table Mountain skylines and Walvis Bay whale watching to the mix. There’s even the chance for thrilling safari encounters on an extended stay.

Port report
A spotlight on the places not to be missed

    • A traditional wooden boat with blue and white detailing is beached on a sandy shore, with clear turquoise waters and a sandbar visible in the background under a blue sky.
      Mozambique

      A country still with some growing to do, the lesser-trodden coastlines of Mozambique are a rare find of authenticity meets blissfully beachy. Positively Portuguese in its influences, the capital — landmarked by an ornate Gustave Eiffel station, no less — is a lively high-rise skyline climbing from its colonial past, alongside a rich collection of tropical flora and fauna.

    • A scenic view of a coastal town with a sandy beach, turquoise sea, and a dramatic mountain range in the background under a clear blue sky.
      South Africa

      The ‘Rainbow Nation’ that earnt her stripes in a cacophony of languages, this southernmost tip of the continent tempts an almost too-easy pin-drop to embrace a pot-of-gold destination that truly keeps on giving. Perhaps the most important in an endless list of opportunities; follow Mandela’s long walk to freedom through the artwork of Port Elizabeth’s Route 67.

    • A tropical beach with distinctive large granite boulders, clear blue water, and lush green palm trees under a partly cloudy sky.
      Seychelles & Mauritius

      Leave devices, distractions and worries at the jetties; this part of the planet sits in its own bubble, refusing to be eclipsed by the clamour of modern-day island life. Sun-warmed waves gently lap white sands in both paradisical ports of call, bordering the granitic rocks of the Seychelles and tropical rainforests of Mauritius.
