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

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 14 nights from Port Louis on February 29, 2028, visiting Saint-Denis, Richards Bay, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. The sailing ends in Cape Town. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Africa from the water is different from Africa on land. The coastline tells its own story. Most ports give you about 14 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Mein Schiff 5 keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 14-night sailing is a strong place to start.
