Looking for a different and attractive cruise to talk to you about, I have found the Shipping companies' proposal for Africa, a continent as unknown as it is fascinating. On the one hand you will visit the beaches of the Indian Ocean, and you will see the deserts that extend to the Atlantic on the other. And remember that through the Red Sea, Egypt and the Suez Canal you will be in the Mediterranean
Glimpsing the southernmost part of Africa from the bow of a boat is a unique experience, in which nature reigns supreme with its landscapes among volcanoes, gigantic black granite cliffs, soft skies and lagoons suspended in time.
MSC Cruises, aboard the MSC Symphony, make a mini-cruise from South Africa to Mozambique for about 500 euros on average, although if you want to travel in October you can get it for less than 350 euros. The next departure date is March 24, 2017, But as I was saying, it is a day-long route that is done every month.
This same ship makes a longer crossing, of 12 days, also departing and returning to the South African port of Durban, whose stops are on the island of Reunion and Mauritius. The price of this trip ranges between 1.200 and 1.500 euros.
The Queen Mary 2, de la Cunard and one of the world's most luxurious ships has an 18-day itinerary through Africa, from London to Cape Town almost nonstop in which to enjoy these incredible landscapes. The price with taxes and all inclusive exceeds 3.000 euros. By the way, if you want to see how this boat has been after its renovation, I'll give you this link.
I just have to give you a warning about any cruise that passes through African waters, they say that visitors from Africa on their way home feel a subtle nostalgia and want to return to these lands, it is known as "the evil of Africa", and no longer you can get rid of it.
