Crystal Symphony, ex Barcelona to Cape Town

22 Night cruise departing from Barcelona to Cape Town onboard Crystal Symphony.

Experience the excitement of seeing two continents in one journey, sailing from vibrant Barcelona via the West African coast to the majestic natural beauty of Cape Town on South Africa’s tip. Our 22-night journey takes us first through the Straits of Gibraltar, stopping in the port of Tangier to browse the Grand Souk and learn about the city’s colorful history. From here, the seas take us south calling at Gran Canaria for nature walks and trips to aloe vera and banana plantations, and the Atlantic islands of Cape Verde. Following the West African coastline, we arrive at Tema in Ghana before sailing to Walvis Bay in Namibia where the Swakopmund sand dunes stretch into the horizon offering unforgettable views by air, 4x4, or on foot. Our voyage ends in Cape Town, South Africa’s outdoor capital, with its lively food scene and renowned winelands. This cruise also features a dedicated Wellness program.

It begins the moment you embark. An immersion into luxurious wonder. An extraordinary sense of well-being. The Crystal Symphony is one of the most spacious and luxurious cruise ships at sea. Onboard amenities feature grand lounges, a full-service fitness facility, exciting casino, a lavish spa, expansive decks, a swimming pool with an extra-large Jacuzzi, award-winning cuisine and entertainment. To top it off, exquisitely-appointed staterooms, more than half of which offer private verandahs. Considered to be the finest shipboard staff afloat, it is their goal to anticipate your every need and to make this a vacation to remember.
