Tanzania Cruise Ships

Tanzania's cruising happens on small ships, not megaliners, and the vessels below are the current fleet: expedition yachts sailing the Zanzibar coast and Indian Ocean islands, and river boats that pair southern Africa cruising with a Tanzania safari. Ships and routes change season to season, so treat this page as the starting point and ask a specialist what is sailing for your dates. We compare ships, cabins, routes, and departures across operators to match the right sailing to you.

Kassandra understood what we were looking for right from the beginning! She gave us two perfect choices (destinations) that made it hard for us to decide, only because both met our needs and wants. Quick replies, detailed itineraries, flexibility to add or remove activities. This is our second time vacationing with Adventure Life and I am sure there will be more!

Wow, where does one start. This will be our fourth trip through Adventure Life. The first three where flawless, perfectly organized trips. I love the system with this company, you have a travel planner Franny who is simply the best. She listens to exactly what you want, makes suggestions if we are off, and then delivers a fabulous itinerary. After that is done you have a travel planner assistant who knocks out all the details up until you leave for your trip. Phen is my idea of wonder woman. All questions/concerns were always answered the same day and updates were often. Thank you Franny and Phen for all your hard and thorough work!!!

Adventure Life put together an amazing trip for our families’s first trip to Africa! We loved our safari experience in southern Tanzania, which were off the beaten path from the more traveled parks in northern Tanzania. The logistics were smooth, all of the details were attended to, and they really listened to what our family wanted from this trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Everyone at Adventure Life was amazing to work with! They organized a family trip for 17 to go on Safari and it was a trip of a lifetime! Every detail was covered and they had some amazing local partners that provided wonderful service! Would highly recommend Adventure Life for any trip!
