Ocean Discovery – Port Louis, Saint-Denis & Richard's Bay

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 14 nights from Port Louis on February 1, 2028, visiting Saint-Denis, Richards Bay, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. You wind up in Cape Town, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Spice markets, baobab-lined coastline, and sunsets that turn the whole sky orange. Cape Town stands out. It's Where the ocean meets the mountain. Roughly 14 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Mein Schiff 5 has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All in all, it's a solid trip.
