It’s a relaxed and family-friendly cruise, where the highlight is the natural and nautical experience. An on board cash bar provides an array of additional beverages and refreshments.

History

The V&A Waterfront harbour was not always the bustling hub it is today. It began as a small jetty in built by Jan van Riebeeck in 1654, through a commission by the Dutch East India Company to establish a refreshment station at the foot of Africa. The station enabled ships that had spent many months at sea to stop for fresh water and supplies. This was the foundation of the V&A Waterfront, and played an important role in the founding of the city of Cape Town.

Advice for visitors

The 90-minute Champagne Cruise is a must-do for Cape Town visitors, but is largely weather dependent. Be sure to check the forecast before booking the cruise, as high winds may affect launch times. If you’re lucky enough to catch a still, cloudless evening you’re definitely in for a treat. Be sure to bring a warm jacket, as the temperature always drops with the sun.

Did you know

According to rumour, Champagne was discovered by accident. The French region of Champagne is the most northern area of the wine-making regions. Sometimes the cold winter weather would interrupt the wine fermentation process. When spring finally arrived, the yeast would start a secondary fermentation, which for a long time winemakers tried to prevent. That is until they discovered the process resulted in the bubbly wine that is now known as champagne. Cheers!
