Walvis Bay is Namibia’s most important port city and is located on the Atlantic coast, right on the edge of the Namib Desert. With 60,000 inhabitants, Walvis Bay is clear, but at the same time the third largest city in the South African country. The bay was explored by Portuguese sailors as early as the 15th century. However, a larger settlement has only existed since 1850. The name of the city means „Walvis Bay “ and is due to the abundance of fish in the bay. Namibia is an exotic destination for cruises, but the port of Walvis Bay is regularly visited by large cruise ships. The region is a must for a cruise to Africa because of its natural beauty, the variety of landscapes and the phenomenal wealth of species!
