From the thunder of Victoria Falls to the sophistication of an Azamara voyage, this exceptional journey spans Southern Africa, the South Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
Southern Africa unfolds in extraordinary layers before you even reach the water. Game drives and a river safari across Chobe National Park place you face to face with elephant and antelope, while Victoria Falls thunders into view, its spray visible for miles. Board the Royal Livingstone Express for a rail dinner beneath African skies, with bushfire cultural performances rounding out the evening.
From Cape Town, embark Azamara Onward for a voyage tracing the Atlantic’s most captivating shores. Namibia’s dramatic coastline gives way to remote St. Helena, the volcanic peaks of Cape Verde, and the sun-baked charm of the Canary Islands, before Morocco, Gibraltar and Spain’s Mediterranean coastline lead you into Barcelona, each day at sea as memorable as the last.
Your transports Azamara Onward
Azamara Onward joined the fleet in 2022 after an extensive refit; like her three sisters she focuses on destination immersion, with intimate lounges, a spa and alfresco dining.
