Zambezi Queen

Zambezi Queen

Picture yourself smoothly gliding along the celebrated Chobe River, getting up close and personal with giraffes, rhinoceroses, zebras, leopards and other amazing safari wildlife and taking scenic drives and tours through stunning African towns, villages and national parks, truly immersing yourself in African culture. You can easily turn this vision into a reality on an amazing Zambezi Queen cruise. Launched in 2009 and renovated in 2019, this extremely intimate 28-passenger ship provides an incredible and unforgettable experience with comfortable accommodations, friendly public spaces and fine authentic cuisine. With a crew-to-guest ratio of nearly 1:1, you can expect flawless, personalized service as you drift through the African river valley.

Zambezi Queen Dining Room

Due to her small size, Zambezi Queen only has one dining venue that also serves as a lounge and bar. Here, you can experience exquisite African-inspired cuisine with three large windows that offer a breathtaking view of the passing landscape.

Zambezi Queen’s talented chefs are certain to prepare something impressive for you each day, whether you’re seeking an exuberant breakfast, satisfying lunch or an extravagant multi-course dinner. Try a new adventurous dish, such as butternut and macadamia soup or stick with something a little more traditional, such as fillet of beef with bordelaise sauce. Complimentary South African wine, beer and local spirits in addition to soft drinks and bottled water are served with lunch and dinner. As a part of Zambezi Queen’s land program, you have the opportunity to dine offboard the river cruise ship, in your hotel or in a local restaurant.

All-Balcony Staterooms

Spending time onboard the ship during your Zambezi Queen cruise is an equally enjoyable experience as exploring the many destinations in South Africa. Accommodations range in size from 215 to 300 square feet, all featuring a private balcony with sliding glass doors and shutters. Other in-room amenities include hotel-style king-sized beds (twin bed configuration also available), a spacious wardrobe, complimentary Wi-Fi, a safe and bottled water that is restocked daily as well as the ability to adjust the temperature in your room. Every stateroom features a large bathroom with a hair dryer, soothing toiletries, bathrobes and slippers. When you’re not relaxing in your comfortable stateroom or off on a land tour, you can visit the onboard gift shop or take a dip in the ship’s refreshing plunge pool.
