16-night Africa Cruise
Description:
16-night Africa Cruise sailing from Cape Town to Mombasa. You'll discover that the Lido Deck is an outstanding vantage point to follow the horizon. Notice how the sky slips slowly into the sea as you relax at the Lido Bar. Perfect your seaside snooze on beautiful teak decks outfitted with the finest teak chairs. Work on your tan or seek out a shady spot under yellow canvas awnings. The choice is yours. From here, you'll find easy access to the Lido Restaurant, Lido Terrace and the Pool Bar so you don't have to walk through your floating hotel to have a casual lunch or to read a book indoors. There's even a saltwater swimming pool sheltered by a glazed promenade inviting you to take a dip. An abundance of oversized towels will be waiting for you at the pool side. And remember to return to the Lido Deck after dark. No evening at sea is complete without a moonlit stroll on deck. As an alternative to the great outdoors, you might prefer to enjoy a broad assortment of indoor activities including boutique shopping, a visit to the beauty salon, library or our fitness center. It features a sumptuous indoor pool styled like a Roman Bath. A sauna with sea views is also located here as well as a steam bath and sun beds for your ultimate relaxation. Partake of some or all of these daily options. It's the ultimate feeling of well-being.

Cape Town is southern Africa's most beautiful, most romantic and most-visited city. Few urban centers anywhere can match its setting along the Cape Peninsula spine, which slides like the mighty tail of the continent into the Atlantic Ocean. By far the most striking – and famous – of its sights is Table Mountain, frequently mantled by clouds, and rearing up from the middle of the city to provide a constantly changing vista to the suburbs below. Table Mountain is the city’s solid core which divides the city into distinct zones with public gardens, wilderness, forests, hiking routes, vineyards and desirable residential areas trailing down it’s lower slopes.
