Few regions on earth stir the imagination quite like Africa and the Middle East. These are lands where ancient civilizations left monuments that still inspire awe, where vast savannas teem with wildlife, and where bustling souks and gleaming modern cities create a fascinating contrast between old and new. A cruise through this region is more than a vacation — it is a journey through millennia of human history, framed by some of the most dramatic coastlines on the planet.

Whether you are drawn to the emerald waters of the Indian Ocean, the stark beauty of the Namibian desert meeting the Atlantic, or the golden dunes and architectural marvels of Dubai and Oman, cruising Africa and the Middle East delivers an unparalleled sense of discovery. From Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain to the ancient Pyramids of Giza visible from the port of Alexandria, every port of call offers something profoundly different — and profoundly moving.
