Safari Cruises
For those who love wildlife and conservation, there's no luxury cruise better than a safari cruise. Granting access to some of the world's most precious wilderness areas and wildlife species, Africa cruises with safari are truly mesmerising, combining the pleasures of river cruising with the opportunities to witness nature first-hand.
Why Choose a Safari Cruise?
There's something special about a safari, and enjoying the natural immersion and picturesque exploration on board a luxury cruise ship makes the experience even better. Forget long bus rides and unreliable coach transfers, because these voyages allow you to visit Africa's most beautiful islands and reserves while dining and sleeping in the most comfortable interior spaces.
On board an African safari river cruise, itineraries are created to make every experience feel seamless and enriching. Without the need to choose between competing excursions or on-shore activities, you can allow your ship's local experts to take care of everything while you go along for the adventure of a lifetime.
Safari Cruise Destinations
Safari cruises are only as good as the sensational destinations they explore, and that's why we offer some of the most precious and immersive experiences in the world.
Kenya
Home to over 40 national parks and wildlife reserves, Kenya is the perfect destination for a safari voyage in which every day offers something new. Dreams come true at the Samburu Game Reserve, where elephants roam free, and the grasslands of the Lake Nakuru National Park offer an incredible opportunity to find rhinos, leopards and cheetahs.
Seychelles
The islands of the Seychelles elevate any safari cruise into an oceanic adventure. The unique seabirds of Cousin Island and the chance to feed giant land tortoises on Mahè Island make this region perfect for animal lovers, while guided hiking trails and fascinating island heritage offer insights into its culture and history.
Tanzania
Tanzania's coastline is home to so much history, and safari cruises regularly explore this cultural and natural treasure trove. The ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani tell the rich story of its past as a trade hub, while the whale shark visitors of Mafia Island showcase nature at its most beautiful.
Safari Cruise Activities
Aquatic Exploration
At select ports, guests have the opportunity to explore the beautiful waters around their ship. Whether they choose to snorkel, scuba, kayak or paddleboard, there's no better way of getting to know the underwater world that makes Africa one of the most beautiful continents for cruise travel.
Guided Hike
What better way to become familiar with Africa's nature than a guided walk through its most awe-inspiring landscapes? Across Kenya, Tanzania, and the Seychelles, guided hikes take guests through picturesque landscapes and offer unique insights into each location's landmarks and lifestyles.
Unwinding On Board
Safari cruises perfectly balance excitement with rejuvenation. When you're not seeing wonderful wildlife, these itineraries offer glorious sun decks and serene spa treatments to make every moment of sailing relaxing and refreshing.
