Crystal Wellness Retreat Cruise

About this Cruise

Whether you want a top-to-toe overhaul of mind and body or simply wish to enjoy a continent-spanning voyage of exploration, this cruise is for you. In addition to the incredible nature we will encounter as we sail from Portugal to the Canary Islands and down the east coast of Africa, you can also choose to take part in our special wellness program, with expert practitioners joining us onboard to share their health and fitness insights plus special shore excursions and activities. In the bustling city of Las Palmas on Gran Canaria, for example, learn about the plants used as traditional Spanish natural remedies, while in Porto Praia there’s yoga on the beach and a workshop all about the marvels of aloe vera. In need of some vitamin D? Soak up the sun in artsy São Vicente in Santiago, one of the Cape Verde islands, and São Tomé, a twin-island nation with its neighbor Príncipe, favored for its natural beauty. Nature is always a tonic for the soul and this cruise has plenty of it, from the volcanic sands of Lanzarote to Namibe in Angola, where the desert meets the sea, and the flamingos and pelicans of Walvis Bay in Namibia. There are plenty of sea days throughout, which offer a wonderful opportunity to try our delicious plant-based menus and take part in fascinating lectures and fun classes, including strength training, meditation, breathwork, and cookery. Whether you follow the whole program or just try a few elements, you’ll arrive in Cape Town refreshed and reinvigorated.
