Cultural Heritage comes alive along the Donkin Heritage Trail, where Victorian architecture and public art tell the story of South African settlers. Don't miss Route 67, featuring 67 art pieces commemorating Nelson Mandela's years of public service.
After exploring, unwind at the Boardwalk Entertainment Complex, where oceanfront restaurants serve fresh seafood alongside local wines—the perfect finale before returning to your ship.
