Cruises from Cape Town, South Africa
Read Port Guide
Explore Cape Town, a vibrant and cosmopolitan city framed by the iconic Table Mountain, where a dramatic landscape meets a rich history and a powerful story of hope and resilience.
Cape Town offers a spectacular and lively atmosphere, a stunning blend of natural beauty and urban energy. The city is dramatically set between the rugged Atlantic Ocean and the imposing Table Mountain, creating breathtaking vistas at every turn. The vibe is a mix of laid-back coastal culture and a fast-paced, cosmopolitan lifestyle. Its lively waterfront, beautiful beaches, and diverse neighbourhoods make it a rewarding destination for any visitor.
The cultural significance of Cape Town is immense. It was the first European settlement in South Africa, established as a trading post by the Dutch in the 17th century. It served as a vital port for ships sailing between Europe and Asia for centuries. More recently, Cape Town was at the centre of the anti-apartheid struggle, and its history is now told through powerful museums and memorials. A visit to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, is a moving experience that speaks to the city's pivotal role in shaping modern South Africa.
South African cuisine is a unique fusion of traditions from around the world. Cape Town, in particular, has a strong influence from the Cape Malay community, resulting in fragrant curries and sweet desserts. A must-try is `braai`, a traditional South African barbecue. Fresh seafood is also a speciality, as is `biltong` (cured meat). The Western Cape is also a world-renowned wine region, and wine tasting is a popular activity for visitors.
Cape Town is an excellent cruise port. The cruise terminal is conveniently located at the V&A Waterfront, a bustling hub of restaurants, shops, and attractions. The waterfront itself is a key destination, making it easy to disembark and begin exploring immediately. From here, it is simple to arrange excursions to Table Mountain, Robben Island, and the beautiful wine region, making it a perfect starting point for a day of adventure.
Cruises visiting Dover, United Kingdom
Read Port Guide
Dover is a historic port town and the 'Gateway to England', best known for its iconic White Cliffs and formidable medieval castle.
Dover's atmosphere is steeped in history and defined by its role as a key port connecting the UK with mainland Europe. It's a place where ancient defence and modern-day transit coexist. While a working port, the town offers a sense of tranquillity, particularly when exploring its vast coastal landscapes. The town has a quiet resilience and a palpable sense of historical importance that makes it a fascinating place to explore.
The cultural significance of Dover is immense and has earned it the nickname 'The Lock and Key of England'. For millennia, it has been the frontline for defence against invasion, from Roman times to the Second World War. Its history is a testament to its strategic position on the English Channel, and this legacy is evident in its many fortifications and historic sites, including Roman ruins and Napoleonic-era defences.
Dover's local cuisine is reflective of its coastal location, with fresh seafood being a key highlight. While the town is focused on its role as a port, it provides a selection of traditional British pubs and eateries where you can enjoy hearty, classic meals. A visit to the town's local establishments allows for a taste of authentic Kentish fare, often including locally sourced produce.
What makes Dover a truly unique cruise destination is its unparalleled access to some of England's most significant historical and natural landmarks. The port is perfectly situated for a day trip to see the awe-inspiring Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 1,400 years of history that is considered one of the most important religious buildings in England.
