Visit Robben Island Museum, a Unesco World Heritage Site

Oct. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Event: Visit Robben Island Museum
Date: All year

Robben Island Museum has turned from a place of banishment and imprisonment into a World Heritage Site and museum, a poignant symbol of South Africa's growth into a democratic nation.

It is most famous for being the place where freedom fighter and future president Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for 18 years for his role in the struggle for equality for the country's black population.

For guests staying at the luxury Cape Town hotel the 12 Apostles, a trip across the gorgeous blue sea of the Atlantic Ocean to this island paradise is an opportunity to look at one of the most potent symbols of South Africa's past.

It houses various exhibitions and artefacts, detailing the apartheid years and the country's transformation from a divided nation into one which embraces its entire population.

A visit to Robben Island promises to be an emotional but uplifting experience, giving travellers plenty to think about as they take the ferry back over the turquoise sea to mainland Cape Town.

After making the 25-minute journey to the 12 Apostles, guests can enjoy The Suite Life and sip complimentary Bouchard Finlayson wine while thinking about how South Africa has changed so dramatically over the years.

This wonderful package also includes a lavish one bedroom suite, classic afternoon tea by the sea, inclusive room service or a full English breakfast, complimentary use of the Sanctuary Spa Hot, Cold and Floatation Plunge Pools and a complimentary scheduled transfer service to Camps Bay and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront between 8.00am and 8.00pm.
