Cruise from Cape Town to Copacabana

As Marco Polo returns to Africa, Orient Lines has included two new Africa and South American itineraries in the 2006/7 brochure. Book your place on the Africa and Southern America cruise-tour and save £600 on the brochure price. Or opt for the Southern Transatlantic, a 19-night cruise-tour and save £800.

As the tourism industry continues to boom guests are looking for more adventure holidays and what could be more exciting than cruising from Cape Town to Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. Guests begin their trip with a 4-night stay in South Africa's golden city. Situated amidst stunning scenery, Cape Town is increasingly becoming one of the world's hottest destinations. It's the perfect place to shop, sip famous South African vintages and dine in the thriving restaurants of the Cape. Then Marco Polo heads to the new celebrity hideaway of Namibia. Visit Walvis Bay, so beautiful that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie chose it as the birthplace for their first child. .
Leave Africa and cross the Atlantic via St. Helena to South America, where Rio de Janeiro plays host for the first three nights of your stay. Spend time sunning yourself on Copacapana Beach or enjoy the carnival atmosphere, all under the watchful eye of the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer ('Cristo Redentor').

For those who opt for the longer Africa and South America Cruise, travel on to Itajai (Brazil), Puna Del Esta and Montevideo before disembarking in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Visit the city's world famous opera house and botanical gardens and, most importantly, learn to Tango, a dance which was born in the barrios of this world class city.
