HISTORY
The V&A Waterfront harbour was not always the bustling hub it is today. It began as a small jetty inbuilt by Jan van Riebeek 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 freshwater 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.

THINGS TO KNOW
ADVICE FOR VISITORS
The 90-minute Sunset Champagne Cruise Cape Town is a must-do 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 and remember to bring cash as there is a cash bar. Also, remember that:
- Guests must redeem their pass offer at the booking office in order to receive a booking pass
- Pre-booking can be done by phone or email or visit the Waterfront Charters office at the V&A Waterfront
- Alcohol served on the vessels is for persons over the age of 18 only.
DID YOU KNOW
According to rumours, 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.
