Ocean Voyage: Cape Town - Brest

Cape Town combines modern energy with cultural diversity, making it one of South Africa’s most dynamic cities. Positioned on a striking bay and overlooked by Table Mountain, the city features dramatic cliffs, long stretches of white sand beaches, and coastal scenery. Explore neighborhoods known for fashion, food, and design, then head to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. There, you encounter unique plant life and wildlife found only in this region, alongside rugged landscapes that define the southern tip of the African continent.

Spend your days at sea making use of the ship’s many amenities. Recharge in the spa, keep active in the fitness center, or relax on deck with a swim or sunbathing. Take part in scheduled lectures, shows, and cultural programs, or browse the onboard boutique. Meet the ship’s photographers and join workshops to improve your skills. Head to the upper decks for open-ocean views and the chance to spot marine life. Each day at sea balances rest, learning, and entertainment in a comfortable setting designed for long crossings.

Built around a magnificent harbor, Brest opens onto the Iroise Sea and the river Penfeld that runs through the city. Its port was used by the French navy for centuries before becoming an important commercial port and marina appreciated by the great navigators. As you stroll along Quai Commandant Malbert, you may catch a glimpse of the superb schooner La Recouvrance and, in the distance, a few lighthouses along the chiselled coastline. You will be able to discover the marine ecosystems at the Oceanopolis center and visit the naval museum housed in the Château de Brest. Officially recognized as a city of art and history, Brest will also charm you with its architectural eclecticism, mingling modernism, neoclassicism, art nouveau, and art deco.
