SHEARWATER’S NEW ‘RIVERSONG CRUISE’ PROMISES ENCHANTING ZAMBEZI EXPERIENCE

Shearwater Victoria Falls has introduced a luxurious and tranquil new offering to the Zambezi River experience: the Riversong Cruise. Designed to provide guests with an escape into the serenity of the African twilight, the cruise encourages visitors to “Bask in the serene glow of the setting sun” and savour the tranquil moments on one of the world’s most iconic rivers.

The Riversong Cruise is positioned as a sophisticated alternative to typical river excursions, focusing on calm reflection and appreciation of the natural beauty surrounding the Victoria Falls area. As the vessel glides gently along the upper Zambezi, passengers are treated to a magnificent natural spectacle, where the “warm hues of the Zambezi sunset reflect on the water.”

This new product specifically targets travellers seeking a peaceful and intimate viewing of the legendary Zambezi sunset, a renowned highlight of any trip to Victoria Falls. The journey transforms a standard boat ride into an enchanting experience, allowing guests to relax as the day fades and the river’s ambient sounds—or “riversong”—take over.

The Riversong Cruise itinerary is perfectly timed to capture the transition from daylight to evening. It offers spectacular opportunities for photography as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in dramatic colours. Beyond the picturesque views, guests are likely to spot various wildlife species—including elephants, hippos, and crocodiles—coming to the riverbanks for their final drink of the day, turning the cruise into a dual experience of nature watching and sunset appreciation.

Shearwater aims to elevate the standard of hospitality on the Zambezi, ensuring every detail contributes to a luxurious and memorable moment. Guests can expect high-quality service, complimentary refreshments, and an atmosphere conducive to soaking up the quiet, powerful beauty of the river.

By emphasizing the tranquil and reflective nature of the voyage, the Riversong Cruise reinforces Victoria Falls’ reputation not just as an adventure capital, but as a destination offering profound natural beauty and peaceful relaxation. It invites visitors to slow down and connect with the Zambezi’s enduring magic, marking a perfect end to a day of exploration.
