Cruise Description

Seven Seas Splendor® is the next iteration of luxury cruising, from her elegant décor to the crowning Regent Suite — she is luxury perfected.

Luderitz, Namibia
Founded in 1883 by a wealthy German merchant of the same name, Luderitz offers colorful colonial architecture along the beautiful Atlantic coastline. Explore the region’s past on a tour of Kolmanskop, a ghost town that was once a bustling center of the diamond trade. The recently restored waterfront offers lovely Art Nouveau architecture, and the coastal waters are home to penguins, dolphins, sharks and seals. Enjoy local beer brewed in compliance with Germany’s strict beer purity laws, as well as local dishes and fresh seafood.

Walvis Bay, Namibia
Unspoiled Walvis Bay, a natural lagoon and the only deep-sea harbor on the Namibian coast, offers something for everyone, with spectacular bird-watching being a keynote, as thousands of migrating species make their way here annually to join the local flamingoes and pelicans. “Dune 7,” at the outskirts of town, towers over the scenic bay, and offers excellent photo ops. The city is also a good starting point for a number of exciting day trips into the timeless beauty of the desert region, including off-road explorations, or fly-over dolphin and whale sighting.

Jamestown, Saint Helena
A proposed UNESCO World Heritage Site, St. Helena’s charm lies in its dramatic coastline. The capital, Jamestown, founded in 1659 by the East India Company, is a small enclave sandwiched between imposing cliffs; and offers some of the very finest examples of British Georgian Era Colonial Architecture. Adventurous visitors can take the opportunity to climb the town’s landmark, 699-step Jacob’s Ladder, built in 1829 and still in use today, to take in the exquisite vistas from its apex. Also worth a visit is nearby Longwood, the renowned site of Napoleon’s final years in exile before his death.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
There’s a little bit of Carnival celebrated here everyday. From its famous beaches to its iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio radiates an air of exuberance that is hard to find anywhere else. Make the scene on trendy Ipanema or take a cable car to the summit of Sugar Loaf Mountain and enjoy the amazing views. Sway your hips to the rhythm at a samba show or enjoy the tranquility of king Dom João VI’s Botanical Gardens and verdant Tijuca Forest.
