When people think about visiting Southern Africa, their first instinct is to book an inland safari, but when you stop to think about how many of this region’s most impressive attractions are accessible by sea, cruising seems to be an obvious choice!

I cruised with Norwegian Cruise Line from Cape Town to Mossel Bay, Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) and Richard's Bay in South Africa and then on to Luderitz and Walvis Bay in Namibia. This video documents my experience.

Disclosure: I was on a sponsored media trip at the time. I was not required to make a YouTube video. Any opinions and facts expressed herein are my own.
