27 Nights | April 2028 | Victoria Falls, Chobe Safari & Cunard Voyage Home
This is Africa at its most spectacular, rounded off in true Cunard style. Ride the vintage Royal Livingstone Express to the Victoria Falls Bridge, walk beside the thundering falls themselves and head into Botswana for two days of wildlife spotting in Chobe National Park, home to one of Africa’s largest elephant populations.
After a one night five star stay in Johannesburg, three nights in Livingstone, three in Chobe and two in Cape Town beneath Table Mountain, you’ll embark Cunard’s newest ship, Queen Anne, for a relaxed 17 night voyage home. With calls at Mindelo in Cape Verde, Gran Canaria and Funchal in Madeira, plenty of days at sea and no flight home, it’s a wonderfully unhurried way to end a bucket-list holiday.

The Cruise Experience
Queen Anne is Cunard’s newest ship, modern yet timeless, with interiors that take their inspiration from the line’s golden age. Enjoy white-gloved Afternoon Tea in the Queens Room, dress up for Gala Evenings in the Grand Lobby, and dine in the elegant Britannia Restaurant, the Lido or the traditional Golden Lion pub.
With so many days at sea on the way home, there’s plenty of time to enjoy her. Catch an Insights talk or a planetarium show, unwind in the Mareel Wellness & Beauty spa, settle into the Commodore Club for a cocktail and round off the evening with a show in the Royal Court Theatre.
