3 Nights Pre-Cruise Land Program in Cape Town
(Dec 3 – Dec 6)
From the Airport, you will be transferred to your luxurious hotel, the Radisson RED Hotel (or similar) in Cape Town.
After breakfast, meet your guide in the hotel lobby, and depart the hotel at 9:00 AM for a winelands tour of the Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine regions. Stellenbosch is perhaps South Africa’s most famous wine-producing region, renowned for the quality of its Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Bordeaux Blends. The Franschhoek Valley is a broad vineyard-lined valley in the southeast corner of Paarl, producing wine since the 17th century. Enjoy a tasting at Waterford Winery, then a drive through historical Stellenbosch for a cheese and wine tasting at Rickety Bridge winery. Proceed to the historical estate of Boschendal for a farm-to-table lunch at the Werf Restaurant. Return to your hotel between 4:30–5:00 PM.
Depart your hotel at 6:45 AM for the drive to Aquila Private Game Reserve. Enjoy a picturesque drive past vineyards, fruit orchards and mountains, arriving for a 9:00 AM light breakfast. After breakfast, embark on a 2½ hour safari game drive in an open vehicle — a luxurious African adventure that will make memories to last a lifetime. Lunch is served upon return, with time to relax in the sun or shop at the curio shop before returning to your hotel by approximately 5:00 PM.
Check out of your hotel around 11:00 AM for your transfer to the Cruise Terminal to embark Seven Seas Splendor.
