Along the East African coast, enjoy views that are as unforgettable as they are unique: discover exotic nature and combine adventurous encounters in the wilderness with quiet days and the sound of the sea.
MAURITIUS welcomes you with its palm-fringed beaches – scenery that also accompanies you on the remote island world of MADAGASCAR, whose nature reserves are populated by shy lemurs. You will reach the kingdom of wild animals in DARESSALAM. Overland excursions take you to Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park* or the Ngorongoro crater* and to unforgettable nights in luxurious lodges in the middle of the African wilderness. Visit ZANZIBAR, which is characterised by oriental, Arabic and European influences, before you are welcomed to MOMBASA for a taste of Kenyan specialities*. One of the great dream destinations of this world lies scattered in the turquoise-blue sea. The Seychelles await you with unforgettable views – whether on the mountainous main island MAHE, in the UNESCO World Heritage Vallee de Mai* of its beautiful neighbour PRASLIN or on the smooth white dream beaches of LA DIGUE and CURIEUSE.
* The shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.
