South Africans may get their 2020/2021 cruise season after all

Travellers who cancelled their cruises due to Covid-19 may get the chance to sail the seas during South Africa's summer season, which kicks off in November.

“We are engaging with government at all levels to ensure that all factors have been considered, which include extensive health and safety protocols. We are confident that by the time of our first sailing, the situation ashore with the global Covid-19 pandemic will have improved sufficiently to allow for people to start thinking even more freely about taking a holiday.

MSC Cruises revealed its Winter 2020/2021 Season schedule this week. The schedule offers over 90 different itineraries across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, the Gulf, South Africa, South America and Asia. Itineraries range in length from two to 24 nights, along with the third MSC World Cruise departing in January 2021 and an extensive Grand Voyages programme.
