Whilst enjoying a nights stay at the Southern Sun Cullinan, why not explore the surrounding areas of this incredible city on a fascinating one-day Cape Peninsula tour? You’ll visit the picturesque fishing village of Hout Bay, see sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean from the Cape Point Nature Reserve, and go to Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens whose Boomslang Walkway snakes over the forest at tree-top level. At Hout Bay Harbour you can see a plethora of colourful marine life via a glass-bottomed boat.

Feeling more like a private club than a cruise ship, Silver Spirit’s intimate atmosphere welcomes you with open arms, with exquisite personal service and divine cuisine – as well as boutique hotel-quality service and unparalleled amenities during your sailing. So, all you have to do is sit back, relax and voyage away to the less-travelled destinations on your cruise.

Whether you’re craving light nibbles, an atmospheric tapas or five-course meal in an elegant restaurant, Silver Spirit provides world-class dining for all your desires on board. Oh, and then there’s an array of drinks and cocktails to be partaken in in any number of overtly inviting bars.

Nestled in southwestern Nambia and renowned for German colonial architecture, you’ll find far too much to do in Lüderitz during your short stay. This includes visiting the art nouveau Goerke Haus which is built into the rock face on Diamond Hill. Then there’s nearby, Felsenkirche, a hilltop church with panoramic bay views stretching around to Robert Harbor. Not forgetting the Lüderitz Museum that has a number of exhibitions on the town’s diamond-mining past as well as local and natural history.

Enjoy two days in the coastal town of Walvis Bay on the coast of Namibia, which, apart from featuring an intriguing abundance of wildlife – dolphins, whales and Cape fur seals inhabit the Atlantic waters – is far more than just a busy port.

Whether it's catching up with a good book or sleep (or both), or merely dipping into some of the many divine entertainments on ship, your sea days are yours for both the taking and the enjoying - so don't miss out!

Discover Mossel Bay’s breath-taking views from the incredible cliffs at the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse. History buffs will love a guided cave tour at Point of Human Origins, a world-renowned archaeological site where first evidence of modern human behaviour was discovered, dating back 162,000 years.

Rich in luxurious design and alluring activities, Silver Spirit bequeaths its prized passengers with some of the most memorable and sparkling of activities. All for the taking. All for the re-living. These include the lively atmosphere of the Panorama Lounge, especially at sunset, as well as Tor's Observation lounge which is a great place to enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail. There’s also the Voices of Silversea who perform in the Venetian Lounge, along with the Silver Spirit Trio who play in Dolce Vita every night.

The second largest city in South Africa, Durban is situated in the KwaZulu Province and is a veritable confluence of cultures - primarily Zulu, Indian and European. Topographically, one can admire the city’s backdrop of jagged mountain ranges, while physically losing oneself in the wide plant collections of Durban’s Botanic Gardens. Or why not pay a visit to vibrant Victoria Street’s market or a traditional Zulu homestead in the Valley of 1,000 Hills - where more than exciting dance shows have been known to take place.

Situated on a lagoon where the Mhlathuze River meets the Indian Ocean, this small town on the northern coast of KwaZulu-Natal is a place of great natural beauty. The Richards Bay Park is a haven for nature-lovers, or there are beaches to relax on with calm, warm seas. For the more adventurous, head to the nearby game reserve, Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park. Surrounded by vast inland and mesmerizing mountains, this nature reserve homes the “Big Five” as well as the largest white rhino population on Earth.

Spend your two days at sea kicking your feet up by the pool whilst sipping a cocktail or two, and float away on the ambience of sweet musicality (and that's just the lull of the waves).

Disembarking the Silver Spirit, savour the fascinating city of Cape Town where you could head down to the Watershed, a buttercup-yellow building with near-endless souvenir ideas, or perhaps scale the lofty Table Mountain via cable car. Or escape the city and spend some time with the African penguins of Boulders Beach. This glorious sandy cove overlooking sapphire waters is home to a large colony of penguins that have no issue with you sharing their spot.

Recapture the romance and atmosphere of a bygone era as you step aboard reconditioned wood-panelled coaches and enjoy fine cuisine in five-star luxury on your journey to Petoria. After embarking you’ll have a chance to settle into your suite before joining fellow travellers in the lounge car or observation car. Later you’ll enjoy a formal dinner complemented by a selection of fine South African wines in the charming Victorian atmosphere of the dining cars.

Matjiesfontein, built in 1880, firmly holds on to its Victorian heritage, a little piece of Britishness within the western cape area of South Africa. A London bus will take you through the streets of this small isolated town lost in time. Have high tea in the Coffee House or a pint in the Laird’s Arms. Your onward train journey takes you through the haunting barrenness of the Great Karoo, a semi-desert area, once an inland sea, before arriving in Kimberley. There you’ll find the world’s deepest man-made excavation, Big Hole, which used to attract prospectors from far and wide in search of precious diamonds. On a trip to the Diamond Mine Museum, you will see the ‘Eureka’ diamond, the largest uncut diamond in the world, unfortunately perhaps, from a secure distance.

Situated in the heart of the bush, in the crater of a long-extinct volcano, Bakubung Bush Lodge offers the perfect location for an unforgettable safari stay. Rooms are sumptuously decorated, boasting amazing views across the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. Your stay at here will provide a fantastic opportunity to embark on exciting and unforgettable game drives and wildlife viewing.

With daily morning and evening game drives available at the lodge, you’ll have the opportunity of searching for the Big Five in an open safari vehicle. Accompanied by a qualified guide, you’ll head into the wilderness seeking a pulsating encounter with a reclusive leopard or a pride of lions lazing in the sun. Return in the evening and enjoy an outdoor boma – an African-style dining experience – under the starlit African sky.

Bringing your holiday to a close, it’s time for your onward flight home.
