Cape Town: Where Two Oceans Meet
At the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, Cape Town offers a rich tapestry of landscapes and experiences. Towering mountains frame pristine beaches, lush valleys unfold into fertile wine country, and incredible wildlife thrives both on land and at sea. The wine estates of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek provide the perfect escape for tastings, while Cape Town’s historic museums uncover South Africa’s cultural heritage and transformative history.

As part of Regent’s luxury cruise experience, all African itineraries include a complimentary two- or three-night pre- or post-cruise Land Program in every suite category for 2025 and 2026. This allows travelers to spend more time exploring Cape Town’s beauty, indulging in its vibrant culinary scene, and experiencing its history and culture before or after their voyage
