Cruise Holiday - MSC Opera South Africa 2025/26

 

news_logo_institutionnal.jpg

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)
