Cruise Holiday - MSC Opera South Africa 2025/26

For something a little more nautical, get your sea legs ready and book a cruise! Chasing the horizon across open waters can be a great way to escape while enjoying the many excursions and activities available.
This type of vacation is perfect for those who love the water, a smorgasbord of options, and are itching to bust out their seafaring lingo (Arr! Batten down the hatches and beware Davy Jones’ Locker!) This type of vacation is a terrible idea for anyone with severe motion sickness, a fear of water, or who don’t appreciate the subtle nuances of bingo and a good buffet.
Pros
-
Experiencing multiple destinations in one trip, but only having to unpack once (cue angel voices)
-
Limitless amounts of activities, both on board and off
-
The unique experience of sailing from one place to the next on a floating hotel (there’s really nothing like it!)
Cons
-
Possibility of sea sickness (especially in rough waters)
-
The risk of catching whatever virus may be sweeping through the ship
-
The fear of a Titanic scenario running through your head (though to be fair, only 16 cruise ships have sunk between 1980 and 2012. May the odds be ever in your favor)
