Indian Ocean Odyssey – Mauritius & Madagascar

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 11-night sailing leaves Port Louis on April 29, 2026 and visits Saint-Denis, Antsiranana, Nosy Be Island, Port Elizabeth, Mossel Bay and Cape Town. Disembarkation is in Cape Town. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 3 countries (Réunion, Madagascar and South Africa) across the Africa, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Antsiranana, Madagascar's northern bay of emerald waters. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Sun. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 8 more when you feel like treating yourself. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
