Whilst you enjoy the first of your overnight stays at The Westin Cape Town, make sure to immerse yourself in Cape Town's charming vigour. For a real sense of this stunning city, hop on a cable car to Table Mountain’s summit. From here you’ll enjoy panoramic views, with tempting trails leading off through the vegetation, begging to be explored. Head down to the Watershed, a buttercup yellow building with near-endless souvenir ideas, from unique jewellery to guitars made from oil cans, or relax in Camps Bay with a refreshing glass of South African wine, overlooking the coast.

Feeling more like a private club than a cruise ship, Silver Spirit’s intimate atmosphere welcomes you with open arms, with exquisite personal service and divine cuisine – as well as boutique hotel-quality service and unparalleled amenities during your sailing. So, all you have to do is sit back, relax and voyage away to the less-travelled destinations on your cruise.

Whether you’re craving light nibbles, atmospheric tapas or five-course meal in an elegant restaurant, Silver Spirit provides world-class dining for all your desires on board. There’s also an array of drinks and cocktails waiting to be enjoyed in any of the overtly inviting bars on board.

Nestled in southwestern Nambia and renowned for German colonial architecture, you’ll find far too much to do in Lüderitz during your short stay. This includes visiting the art nouveau Goerke Haus which is built into the rock face on Diamond Hill. Then there’s nearby, Felsenkirche, a hilltop church with panoramic bay views stretching around to Robert Harbor. Not forgetting the Lüderitz Museum that has a number of exhibitions on the town’s diamond-mining past as well as local and natural history.

Enjoy two days in Walvis Bay, a relaxed harbour town lying on Namibia’s harsh Atlantic coast. It’s protected from the elements by the eco-fragile Pelican Point peninsula, a long sand spit that also shields a breath-taking lagoon which serves as a haven for wildlife. Spot a range of seabirds, including penguins and flamingos, and look out for dolphins, whales and seals that linger around the towering Pelican Point lighthouse.

Whether it's catching up with a good book or sleep (or both), or merely dipping into some of the many divine entertainments on ship, your sea days are yours for both the taking and the enjoying - so don't miss out!

Discover Mossel Bay’s breath-taking views from the incredible cliffs at the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse.

Rich in luxurious design and alluring activities, Silver Spirit bequeaths its prized passengers with some of the most memorable and sparkling of activities. All for the taking. All for the re-living. These include the lively atmosphere of the Panorama Lounge, especially at sunset, as well as Tor's Observation lounge which is a great place to enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail. There’s also the Voices of Silversea who perform in the Venetian Lounge, along with the Silver Spirit Trio who play in Dolce Vita every night.

Next, you’ll spend two days in South Africa’s second largest city, Durban, situated in the KwaZulu Province; and home to a veritable confluence of cultures - primarily Zulu, Indian and European. Topographically, one can admire the city’s backdrop of jagged mountain ranges, while physically losing oneself in the wide plant collections of Durban’s Botanic Gardens, or, why not pay a visit to vibrant Victoria Street’s market or a traditional Zulu homestead in the Valley of 1,000 Hills - where exciting dance shows have been known to take place.

Situated on a lagoon where the Mhlathuze River meets the Indian Ocean, this small town on the northern coast of KwaZulu-Natal is a place of great natural beauty. With an overnight in port, immerse yourself in this natural haven by taking a stroll to spot intriguing wildlife species, or recline on the beach with the sound of the calm sea as a relaxing backdrop. For the more adventurous, head to the nearby game reserve, Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park. Surrounded by vast inland and mesmerising mountains, this nature reserve homes the “Big Five” as well as the largest white rhino population on Earth.

With two final days at sea, relax on board, perhaps, with a cocktail or two and allow your cares to melt away as you listen to the lull of the ocean’s waves. With two days to spend however you like, take the opportunity to rejuvenate and enjoy the luxury of time before the remainder of your holiday.

Returning to Cape Town you’ll enjoy a further overnight stay to ensure you have experienced the real sense of Cape Town. Hop on a cable car to Table Mountain’s summit to enjoy panoramic views, with tempting trails leading off through the vegetation, begging to be explored and be sure to head down to Camps Bay to enjoy a refreshing glass of delicious South African wine, while your eyes gaze off across the coast.

Following an unforgettable stint in Cape Town, you will fly to Pilanesberg for a three night stay at a five-star hotel. Here you will embark on thrilling game drives in search of stunning wildlife species, with tours running both in the morning and in the afternoon, you’ll have ample opportunity to spot breath taking animals.

Whilst spending a three-nights in Livingstone, you’ll join a walking tour of the spectacular Victoria Falls, enjoy a breath-taking sunset cruise along the Zambezi River on board the Lady Livingstone and experience the elegant Royal Livingstone Express train as it travels along the Mulobezi railway line through the heart of the Zambezi River Valley. Each of these experiences are hand-picked to highlight the natural wonders of Livingstone and its wildlife, and are assured to leave you spellbound.

Today marks the end of your three-night Livingstone hotel stay, and you'll transfer to the airport for your flight home with a wealth of phenomenal memories.
