Ocean Discovery – Cape Town, Port Elizabeth & Durban

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 14 nights from Cape Town on November 23, 2027, visiting Port Elizabeth, Durban, Saint-Denis and Port Louis. The trip wraps in Port Louis, so you won't retrace your steps. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. It's a proper Africa tour: 3 countries, from South Africa to Mauritius. You get around 14 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Mein Schiff 5 has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 14-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
