(20 days)

Embark on an epic 1,000 nautical mile adventure along South Africa's stunning southern coast, a journey that connects two oceans. Setting sail from Richards Bay, we'll make captivating stops in Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth, Knysna, and Mossel Bay.

This incredible coastline is one of the world's most diverse. As we cruise, the lush stretch of the renowned Garden Route unfolds, offering a blend of pristine beaches, indigenous forests, and picturesque towns. The iconic Knysna Heads, two striking sandstone cliffs, stand as a major landmark at the entrance to the Knysna Lagoon. Our journey culminates in Cape Town, where the iconic Table Mountain, a global biodiversity hotspot, welcomes us to the "Mother City."
