There are no additional charges. Usually the ships are in port for a day, however to lengthen their stay in South Africa, some passengers disembark in Cape Town and wait until their ship returns 8 - 10 days later. Or you may wish to disembark in one port, rent a car, and drive along the Garden Route, stopping to visit Addo and Kruger National Parks, and then rejoin the ship in another port further into the itinerary. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the anticipated return date. There are no visa or inoculation requirements.
All accommodations are air-conditioned and all cabins have private facilities.
A two-prong round adapter and converter are needed for North American appliances. A limited selection of beverages and cigarettes is available at duty free prices. Cancellation and Interruption Insurance is highly recommended. We offer a combined health and cancellation policy and details are sent when making a reservation.
