East Africa Cruise: Mauritius, Madagascar & Seychelles

Day 1 - Port Louis, Mauritius

Arrive: Thu 04 January 2029 / Depart: Thu 04 January 2029 at 17:00

When you cruise to Mauritius with Azamara®, you’ll find endless coral sand beaches to while the day away, but there is so much more to explore in Port Louis. Beyond beachfronts, beneath the surface, the capital city of Mauritius is rich in immersive cultural experiences. Influences from India, Africa, Europe, China, and the Middle East can be seen, heard, and savored all around downtown streets. It can feel a little chaotic—but in the best way possible.

Day 7 - Zanzibar

Arrive: Wed 10 January 2029 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 10 January 2029 at 20:00

It may only be 26 miles off the coast of Tanzania, but the beautiful archipelago of Zanzibar feels like a world away. It’s an East African feast for the senses, with warm turquoise waters, powder white sands, vibrant coral reefs, and fields scented with cinnamon, cardamom, and clove. The largest and most populated island of this semi-autonomous region is Unguja, commonly referred to as Zanzibar Island, or simply “Zanzibar”. It’s home to dozens of picture-perfect beaches—like the lively Kendwa and Nungwi, or the quieter Kizimkazi, where dolphins like to hang out—so you could easily spend the day beach-hopping, snorkeling, and sunning.

Day 8 - Mombasa

Arrive: Thu 11 January 2029 at 07:00

Mombasa is a coastal city in southeast Kenya along the Indian Ocean. The city is known as the white and blue city in Kenya. It is the country's oldest and second-largest city, with a population of about 1,208,333 people according to the 2019 census.

Day 13 - La Digue, Seychelles

Arrive: Tue 16 January 2029 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 16 January 2029 at 20:00

The Seychelles is without a doubt one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. Everywhere you look there’s an Instagram photo opportunity (if that’s your thing).

Day 14 - Praslin Islands, Seychelles

Arrive: Wed 17 January 2029 at 07:30 / Depart: Wed 17 January 2029 at 17:00

Legend has it the Garden of Eden can be found on the tropical isle of Praslin—in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve to be exact. And while the, shall we say, “suggestive shape” of the giant seeds found on the park’s coco de mer palm trees could lead the road to temptation, it’s more likely that the island’s exotic scenery helped fuel this biblical tale.
