Cape Town Cruises

Cape Town is one of South Africa’s three capital cities, alongside Bloemfontein and Pretoria. The city is located on the southwest coast of the country and boasts one of South Africa’s busiest ports.

The Best Time to Cruise to Cape Town

Cape Town cruises are best booked for the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn – so September to November or March to May and here are just a couple of reasons why:

• Beautifully warm and dry weather
• Fewer tourist crowds
• Lower prices

Things to Do in Cape Town

Cape Town is a city like no other – it is a rich melting pot of different cultures, landscapes and people. Nature dominates the city and the lives of the locals. The best things to do around here are outside:

• • • Explore the flat-topped Table Mountain
    • Paraglide off Lion’s Head
    • Visit the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
    • Learn to surf in the waters of the South Atlantic Ocean
    • Go mountain biking

Cape Town itself is no less exciting than the surrounding nature, though. Look around and the creativity of the people living here will become evident. The city was rightly named the World Capital of Design in 2014.

Cape Town is an absolute must-visit city for everyone, be it on a cruise or otherwise. We promise, you will not want to leave!
