Planning your trip

With so much on offer, you might need some inspiration! We’ve hand-picked a selection of favourite destinations and provided an overview of the very best highlights...

African Queen

African Queen Highlights

Restaurant / Bar

The hospitality and cuisine on board African Queen is second to none. On the upper deck the inside cabin is open-plan with one area for dining, a lounge with comfortable seating and traditional-style bar. Under a beautifully polished wood-panelled ceiling, the décor artfully combines the nautical with touches representing both British and Cape Malay heritage. The interior of the upper deck is naturally light with picture windows running along both sides of the cabin ensuring guests don’t miss a moment of the wonderful views. African Queen’s home-cooked food is truly something special. Menus are imaginative including both traditional English cuisine and delicious Dutch and Cape Malay-style dishes.


Cabins

African Queen has eight cabins on her lower deck. There are two single-bedded cabins, four double-bedded cabins, one cabin with twin beds and a superior double-bedded cabin/suite. All are tastefully-decorated, have en-suite facilities and a small window that opens and allows plenty of natural light.
