Cruise Along the South African Coastline to Experience my Country

Enjoy a cocktail while you enjoy your cruise.

South Africans love their cruises. MSC Cruises South Africa, which has been offering cruises from South Africa for many years, offers a fun way of exploring the South African and African coastlines. Cruises usually depart from either the Durban or Cape Town harbours and can last anything from three days to two weeks, depending on your chosen itinerary and destination. Interesting ports of call include some islands in Mozambique (Portuguese and Bazaruto islands) and in the Indian Ocean (Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius).

The South African cruise calendar usually starts in November each year. The well-known MSC Opera cruise liner will be used for the 2014/2015 South African cruise season. The MSC Opera is a luxurious cruise liner with eight decks and a capacity of 20 55 passengers in 856 cabins. While cruising to interesting South African and African destinations, life on board the ship will keep you entertained throughout your journey. Having already cruised three times, I can attest to the excellent value for your money while having the best time of your life.

The easiest way to book one of these cruises is to visit the webpage of MSC Cruises where you will find information on all their cruises and prices.
