Crystal Wellness Cruise Retreat

About this Cruise

What better way to dip into the sights of Africa’s west coast than on this fascinating cruise? Our voyage begins in the busy port of Tema, built as a showcase for Ghana’s homegrown Modernist architecture, then heads for Cotonou in Benin, a modern city where traditions such as animism are still part of daily life. A relaxing day at sea takes us to São Tomé, a twin-island nation with its neighbor Príncipe, favored for its natural beauty. Next, we alternate sea days with stop-offs in Angola at Luanda, to stroll along its colonial and modern streets, and Namibe, where the desert meets the ocean, then Walvis Bay in Namibia, to see the flamingos and pelicans on the lagoon. More time at sea delivers us to Cape Town on the tip of South Africa. These sea days offer a wonderful opportunity to join in our onboard wellness activities, including strength training, meditation, and cooking classes, plus themed lectures from our wellness experts.
