Azamara will be returning to South Africa for the 2024/25 cruise season, homeporting Azamara Quest in Cape Town and sailing six roundtrip voyages from the Mother City as part of the Southern Hemisphere summer cruise season, which runs from November to March.
These 12-night itineraries explore all of South Africa’s major cruise ports with calls in Port Elizabeth, East London, Durban, Mossel Bay and Cape Town, as well as the port of Maputo in Mozambique.
