Taking in the vibrant continents of India and Africa, via the white-sand idylls of the Seychelles and Maldives, this 25-night journey offers endless variety and fascination. Our voyage begins in the energetic city of Mumbai, heading south along the coast to the tranquility of Goa, where Buddhist temples and Catholic churches sit side by side beneath shady palms. Discover the culture of Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo, before we head west into the Indian Ocean to the Seychelles and Mauritius, where snorkeling and submarine trips reveal the beautiful sea life. Our journey then takes us to the east coast of Africa, with stops at Mombasa, Kenya’s capital, to discover its rich history as a trading hub, the spice forests of Zanzibar, and the palm-fringed beaches of Mozambique. Onwards to South Africa to explore four of its ports, including Mossel Bay, from where winelands and private game reserves wait to be visited, before finally sailing on to our final destination, Cape Town.
