The Queen Victoria is a beautifully appointed ship with excellent facilities, lovely decor and wonderful Staff. The condition of the whole ship is immaculate. Entertainment was varied and of a good quality and the shore excursions delivered a great experience. Our cabin was nicely appointed and beautifully maintained by our Steward. Every port visited was a pleasure to visit and it was great to visit three countries in one cruise. Food choice and quality were excellent too.
The only issue we had was with two of the three organised transfers, with late pick ups and confusion with the driver’s location.

South Africa’s oldest city and the nation’s capital, Cape Town, is a fascinating destination to explore. Rich with culture and cuisine, overflowing with intriguing and controversial history, and boasting an abundance of jaw-dropping sights, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding what to do with your day in Cape Town.

Situated at the foot of Table Mountain, the incredible Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is a must-visit whilst in Cape Town. Claimed to be one of the world’s most scenic botanical gardens, it places great importance on preserving South Africa's indigenous plants. Within the gardens, you’ll find a conservatory, amongst other extraordinary sights.
Cape of Good Hope
Jutting out dramatically into the South Atlantic Ocean, the Cape of Good Hope is a breathtakingly beautiful natural landmark boasting incredible coastline views, sensational wildlife spotting opportunities, and an interesting history worth taking the time to learn more about – and, it’s a peninsula that’s commonly mistaken for being the southernmost point in Africa, but that’s actually Cape Agulhas, which is about 150 km eastwards. When it was first discovered by Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, this rocky headland was known as the Cape of Storms, but John II of Portugal renamed it the Cape of Good Hope in an effort to reflect the incredible optimism borne out of having an open sea route to India and the East. When you’re here, you’ll have the chance to see everything from ostrich and chacma baboons to African penguins and more; so, it’s definitely worth bringing a pair of binoculars when visiting.
Boulders Penguin Colony
Getting its name from the granite boulders that surround it, Boulders Beach is located on the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. Not only is this beach incredibly scenic, but it’s also a popular place to visit because of the thriving colony of African penguins that call it home.
