Southern Africa in style with Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Begin your holiday in style with included airport lounge access before boarding your overnight flight to Cape Town, arriving on day two.

On arrival in Cape Town, transfer to your ship, ready for your voyage through Southern Africa. Settle into your luxuriously appointed, butler-served suite then, after an afternoon of relaxation – and perhaps some time exploring the sights – you'll enjoy the first of your gourmet dinners onboard. There's everything from modern French fare at Chartreuse – think tender veal rack of loin with grape chutney – to filet mignon and côte de boeuf at steakhouse Prime 7. Then, head to one of the many bars for a post-dinner digestif – an apt way to toast to the start of your adventure.

After breakfast you've got a full day to explore the ship and all it has to offer. Perhaps head to the pool deck for swim and a frozen cocktail or two before an al fresco lunch at the Pool Grill for grilled-to-order burgers, seafood and deliciously fresh salads. Alternatively, the fitness centre, paddle tennis court, jogging track and putting green ensure any eager sportsperson is well catered for. This evening, head to one of the other elegant dining venues for dinner, perhaps ending the night at the casino.

Anchor in to Namibia's Walvis Bay for two days of exploration. All excursions can be arranged directly from the ship up to a year before your cruise, and there's everything from off-road explorations to fly-over dolphin and whale watching on offer. We'd highly recommend a dolphin and seal cruise on the Walvis Bay Lagoon as well as a 4x4 off-road trip across the orange Namib Desert's undulating sand dunes, filled with desert-adapted species like leopard, cheetah, springbok and zebra.
