Accidents in South Africa Ports & Locations

Cruising to South Africa is a unique experience. Due to the distance between the United States and South Africa, these cruises are typically either one way or several weeks in duration (if not both). Cruising from the U.S. to South Africa necessarily involves crossing the Atlantic Ocean, with many cruises making a brief stop in the Caribbean (often in Puerto Rico) before starting the transatlantic journey and then working their way down the west coast of Africa.
