        Despite its impressive modernity as a major city, Cádiz is one of the oldest continually-inhabited cities in Western Europe and an urban centre dominated by well-preserved historical landmarks – most of which can be found in Casco Antiguo, the Old Town within the remnants of Cádiz’s city walls. That doesn’t mean you won’t find any modern comforts here, though; while you’re sightseeing, you can expect to enjoy flavourful food from fantastic restaurants, comfortable cafes, and more. Sitting on Spain’s southern coast, the Port of Cádiz is also a short trip from Seville – a stunning Spanish city boasting its own unique culture and unique historical landmarks. So, if a tour of Seville is on the agenda, you’ll have no trouble getting there and back when you disembark here.

        Port Elizabeth, now known primarily as Gqeberha, is a major seaport city in South Africa’s Eastern Cape and a popular tourist destination on the South Atlantic Ocean. Home to some of South Africa’s cleanest and safest beaches, there’s really no better place to soak up the incredible sunshine here. Although, the recently-renovated waterfront and city centre is also worth exploring; vibrant and overflowing with incredible culture, Port Elizabeth boasts an interesting blend of modern industrialization and historic colonial architecture. Spending some time to sample the local cuisine here, while savouring the unique atmosphere, is always worthwhile. If you’re looking to learn more about this place’s past, The Donkin Trail is a good way to see all the local historical attractions at your own leisure – and, you’ll pass plenty of cafes, restaurants, and bars worth checking out when you go sightseeing, too. Looking a little further afield, Port Elizabeth is a great jumping off point for game reserve safaris and rewarding hiking routes alongside water sports activities; it really does have it all.

Our cruise was 50/50 Some good some bad. Cabin quite small, food sometimes good sometimes bad. ship too big and too crowded. Even charged us 22 euros fees for the day we disembarked at 9. 30 am

Whilst the cruise did not have a lot of British passengers onboard, we had a superb time. Cabin was spotless and roomy. Service by all staff was first class. Food was amazing at all times with nothing we thought was bad. Entertainment was some of the best we have seen at sea. We will definitely be going back with Costa again. Ignore all of the bad press and reviews as it's not as bad as people make out. Fantastic well designed ship.

Amazing week My husband and daughter’s first cruise and it was amazing. Food was amazing but very Italian. But we enjoyed it not one plate I thought was bad. The gammon and pork belly in the buffet was my favourite. staff was amazing. The party’s was amazing the balcony cabin with the terrace was a good size for two adults and a child. The buffet could get a bit mad at busy times but other than that it was great. Next year we’ll do a biggger boat.
