Saturday January 14, 2023 · Cape Town, South Africa (ship overnights)

Sunday January 15, 2023 · Cape Town, South Africa · departs 4:00pm
Cape Town is both the legislative capital of South Africa and one of its most vibrant cities. Make your way to the top of Table Mountain for panoramic views of the surrounding city and harbor. Visit Robben Island to see the former site of the notorious former prison that held Nelson Mandela. Explore the manicured lawns and beautiful forest in Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens. Then stop by the V&A Waterfront for some shopping and entertainment

Monday January 16, 2023 · Mossel Bay, South Africa · 8:00am – 4:00pm
Located along the Southern Cape, Mossel Bay is one of South Africa’s most popular tourist destinations. Sink your toes into the sands of Santos Beach. Hike up the trail to the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse where the 19th century structure provides stunning views of the surrounding area. Learn about the earliest humans at the Point of Human Origins archaeological site. Then explore the more recent cultural heritage at the Bartolomeu Dias Museum.

Tuesday January 17, 2023 · Port Elizabeth, South Africa · 6:00am – 5:00pm
Port Elizabeth is one of South Africa’s major municipalities and bears the nickname “The Friendly City.” Relax on beautiful King’s Beach. Spot some big game at the Kragga Kamma Game Park nature reserve. Explore the rich history of South Africa’s Eastern Cape at the Donkin Reserve. Try local dishes like potjiekos, an indigenous stew cooked outdoors in a cast-iron pot

Wednesday January 18, 2023 · Richard’s Bay, South Africa · arrive 6:00pm
Situated on the deepest natural harbor in the Southern Hemisphere, Richard’s Bay will thrill both nature and culture seekers. Spend the day walking through the Umlalazi Nature Reserve where you might see one of the rarest birds of pray in South Africa, the Palm-Nut vulture. Catch some sun or some waves at Aklantstrand Beach or learn about South African history and art at the Empangeni Museum.

Thursday January 19, 2023 · Richard’s Bay, South Africa · depart 9:00pm

Friday January 20, 2023 · Durban, South Africa · 6:00am – 3:00pm
With rich cultures, expansive beaches and historic landmarks intertwined within a hip, vibrant atmosphere, Durban boasts a seemingly endless array of possibilities. The port city is home to the largest population of Indians outside India and also to millions of Zulu (South Africa’s largest ethnic group). Visit an authentic Zulu village for a glimpse into their traditions. While touring the city’s historic sites, including Mahatma Gandhi’s house and International Printing Press, you can enjoy delicious Indian cuisine at a local restaurant. Or choose to slow it down, way down, lounging on warm sands or taking a rickshaw ride along the Golden Mile – a nearly four-mile-long beachfront esplanade

Saturday January 21, 2023 · At Sea

Sunday January 22, 2023 · At Sea

Monday January 23, 2023 · Luderitz, Namibia · 8:00am – 5:30pm
Both its geographical location and German art nouveau architecture make Lüderitz a very surprising and unique destination to explore. Situated between the barren Namib Desert and the weathered South Atlantic coast lies what appears to be a charming Bavarian village peppered with historic landmarks, a museum and cafes. Though surrounded by seemingly unforgiving landscapes, the region is home to diverse wildlife, including penguins, whales, dolphins and a large array of breeding seabirds. Explore the coastline or journey inland on a desert adventure.

Tuesday January 24, 2023 · Walvis Bay, Namibia · 7:00am – 5:00pm
Meaning “Whale Bay,” Walvis Bay is located along a natural deepwater harbor by the Namib Desert and is an ideal location for both migrating and resident birds. A birdwatcher’s paradise, more than 150 bird species have been recorded in the area with Walvis Bay Lagoon being a major hotspot. Bring your camera and binoculars for the chance to see thousands of flamingos and other species congregating. Or look to the ocean for a chance to see whales or dolphins. For some sand-based excitement, head inland into the desert to Dune 7 (a staggering 1,256 feet tall) for a hike or to enjoy an exhilarating sandboarding experience.

Wednesday January 25, 2023 · At Sea

Thursday January 26, 2023 · Cape Town, South Africa · 7:00 AM Disembark

Pre-cruise Hotel and Mixer

Arriving a day early is recommended to avoid missing your group due to travel delays. We arrange a host hotel for the night prior to each sailing. We are usually able to obtain a group rate that is much lower than booking the hotels directly.

Our Pre-Cruise Get-Together is an informal gathering the night prior to sailing at a bar/restaurant located in our host hotel. It’s a nice way to meet others including your on-board cruise hosts who are in town a day early just like you. Come join the party!

Theme Nights

Each cruise generally has one or two formal nights on-board the ship where passengers get decked out in party dresses, evening gowns, suits or tuxedos. Don’t forget to pack your special outfits for the SinglesCruise.com. A list of theme nights will be available here approximately 60 days prior to departure. The majority of guests dress up in theme, however, you are welcome to come to the party even if you choose not to dress up in the suggested attire.

Singles Mingles

On each cruise, you will receive an agenda packed with hosted activities and events you can join throughout the week to meet and socialize with new single friends. You can participate in as many events as you like – it’s your vacation so you decide! This will list theme nights, cocktail parties, dress code, activities and ports of call.

PLEASE PRINT this document and keep it on you at all times so you know where our group will be throughout the sailing. Thank you.

A link to your SinglesMingles activity guide will be provided in this section approximately 5-7 days prior to departure.

Shore Excursions

Tours provide an exciting way to explore and experience the exciting ports you are visiting while getting to know others in the singles cruise group. At Singles Cruise, we keep the fun momentum going by recommending an exciting shore excursion per port to give you the opportunity to be with other singles in your group. These tours are hosted by the vendor and are guaranteed to get you back to the ship for a timely departure.

Shore excursions will be available to purchase approximately 60 days prior to sailing.

Official Facebook Group

You’re invited to join our private Facebook Group – exclusively for booked guests on this sailing! Please do not forward this private link to other friends. This is a great place to chat with others who will be cruising with you and share your photos from the cruise. We will maintain the group for 2 weeks after disembarkation.
