24-Day World Cruise: Cape Town, Namibia & Atlantic Islands

Cape Town, a jewel nestled at the foot of the awe-inspiring Table Mountain, pulses with an unmatchable rhythm of diversity.

A day at sea aboard Seabourn Quest is a celebration of unhurried luxury. From the moment you wake to the sight of endless ocean views, every experience is designed to make you feel completely at ease. Mornings might begin with breakfast served on your private veranda, or a fresh coffee enjoyed at Seabourn Square, where the scent of pastries and the sound of gentle conversation set the tone for the day ahead. Join a yoga or Pilates session in the Motion Studio, take a leisurely swim in the pool, or simply find a quiet corner to read as the horizon drifts by. As the day unfolds, there are countless ways to spend your time. Attend an engaging lecture in the Grand Salon, browse the latest fashions in the onboard boutiques, or relax in the Spa & Wellness centre with a soothing massage or aromatherapy treatment. Lunch might be a light alfresco meal at The Patio, followed by an afternoon soaking up the sun on the Sky Deck or retreating to the calm of The Retreat with a good book and a chilled drink. Evenings aboard Seabourn Quest are equally memorable. Enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail in The Observation Bar as the sky blushes gold, before indulging in a fine-dining experience at The Restaurant or a themed dinner at The Colonnade. Later, take in a live show in the Grand Salon, dance to live music in The Club, or step outside to feel the sea breeze beneath a canopy of stars.

In 1883, a German businessman, Adolf Luderitz, purchased a parcel of land enclosing a small bay for purposes of speculation. The so-called Skeleton Coast had limited potential in many ways, being largely made up of the shifting sands of the Namib Desert. Then, in 1906, a local railway worker noticed an oddly sparkly stone beside the tracks. It proved to be a diamond, and it became clear that there were many like it lying literally on the surface of the sands. By 1909 a diamond rush was in full sway, and a thriving, German-styled town called Kolmanskop sprouted out of the desert to house the gem-seekers. When the easy pickings ended, the townspeople simply walked away, and the desert climate preserved the town as it was slowly engulfed by the shifting sands. Today it makes an evocative and haunting place to visit. The bay still hosts a bounty of wildlife as well, including seals, whales and flamingos. Other endeavors have started, too, such as the culture of delicious oysters in the clean, cold ocean waters.

Walvis Bay, Namibia’s unique maritime and adventure oasis, is a sparkling city on the Atlantic, renowned for its natural lagoon and thriving birdlife.

One of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan African cities, the Senegalese capital bears many visual reminders of its past as a French colonial outpost. Despite the Parisian-style boulevards and buildings, however, there is a distinctly African feel to the city. Bankers and executives can be seen going about their businesses dressed in the flamboyant traditional Grand Boubou costume, and women wear the feminine version with an equally striking headpiece. The common language is French, although many citizens may also speak as many as five or six ethnic languages, since the whole coast of West Africa has been steeped in a heritage of mutual trade for centuries. Among the many sights and sounds greeting visitors, none is more evocative and sobering than a visit to Goree Island and its House of Slaves. This fortress, just offshore of the city waterfront, displays many reminders of the brutal trade in human beings, including an unimposing doorway, set just above the waterline in the seaside wall, identified simply as the “Door of No Return.”

The most important city on the Cape Verde island of São Vicente, Mindelo originally thrived as a coal depot for steamships plying the Atlantic. With the advent of diesel engines, its importance waned, although it is still an important port for the maritime trade. The island is volcanic, dry and mostly low. The town has replica of Lisbon’s Belem Tower, located near the fish market, in an interesting part of the city. The late Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora started her career singing in the taverns of Mindelo, and later brought the uniquely lilting Cape Verdean form of fado music to the world through her bestselling records and concert tours.
