An African epic, this not-to-be-missed itinerary sees you sail in unmatched style among South Africa and Namibia's finest landscapes. Stepping aboard one of Regent Seven Seas Cruises' fleet of ultra-luxury ships, you'll explore the wildlife-dotted dunes of the Namib Desert, take in historic cities in Mozambique, bask on beautiful beaches in Durban, enjoy Zululand tours in Richards Bay and delve into the delights of the world-famous Garden Route. This is a region also the home to the famed Big Five – lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant – and with shore excursions included throughout you can expect private game reserve safaris for only the finest in wildlife watching. Return each day to three-course, wine-paired dinners alongside sundowners at elegant bars, indulgent spa treatments and much more besides.

UK to Cape Town

Begin your holiday in style with included airport lounge access before boarding your overnight flight to Cape Town, arriving on day two.

Embark Seven Seas Voyager

On arrival in Cape Town, transfer to your ship, ready for your voyage through Southern Africa. Settle into your luxuriously appointed, butler-served suite then, after a day of relaxation – and perhaps some time exploring the sights – you'll enjoy the first of your gourmet dinners onboard. There's everything from modern French fare at Chartreuse – think tender veal rack of loin with grape chutney – to filet mignon and côte de boeuf at steakhouse Prime 7. Then, head to one of the many bars for a post-dinner digestif – an apt way to toast to the start of your adventure.

Anchor in to Namibia's Walvis Bay for two days of exploration.

A TASTE OF TRAVEL EXQUISITE CUISINE

Few things connect us to a particular time and place like cuisine. New flavors and intoxicating aromas from far off lands can instantly transport us to a wonderful memory. They can enliven our spirits with passion as we experience new things and expand our palates. It’s why we take pride in creating dining experiences that are so exquisite: nothing can elevate travel like cuisine. Take in the bouquet and savor the notes of an expertly paired glass of wine provided by the head sommelier and bite into a perfectly aged and prepared filet mignon at Prime 7. Every appetizer at Compass Rose — like the delicate and rich lobster bisque — offers a delightful array of tastes and textures, while the scent of freshly baked bread and pastries makes for a refreshing greeting at breakfast each morning. Allow the sublime and traditional flavorings of the Sole Grenobloise to transport you to France from Chartreuse. Italy is always at hand via the authentic dishes of Sette Mari at La Veranda, like the subtly enhanced flavors of the Pollo alla Cacciatora . Deliver an exotic touch to your evening with an array of dim sum at Pacific Rim on Seven Seas Grandeur™ , Seven Seas Splendor® and Seven Seas Explorer® . The Pool Grill is the perfect spot to relax with friends after a full day of onshore adventures. Or, for a more private evening, enjoy the quiet and comfort of your own suite with a meal prepared to your liking through our 24-hour, in-suite dining service. Whatever your diet and whatever your mood, our masterful culinary teams deliver unforgettable dining experiences with a wide array of delicious choices, including plant-based and gluten-free offerings.

FREE ROUNDTRIP AIR*

ALASKA EXPECT THE MAJESTIC IN THE WILDLANDS

A handful of words leap out when we describe Alaska — a state that covers more territory than Texas, California and Montana combined — to those who haven’t been: Immense. Untamed. Majestic. Epic. All describe Alaska the place perfectly. When its legendary coastline appears on the horizon, however, and we’re standing with others to take in the spectacle, a single word captures what we collectively feel: Humbled. Here at the “Last Frontier,” wilderness knows no bounds and your sense of adventure runs free. From mid-May through mid-September 2024, sail aboard Seven Seas Explorer ® to experience Alaska’s green season, when temperatures turn mild, rivers fill with spawning salmon and wildlife are on the move. Take in the splendor of Seward’s Resurrection Bay fjord, your eyes on the water for sea otters, orcas and whales and in the air for puffins, loons and eagles. Cruising peaceful Disenchantment Bay, prepare for the thrilling crack of Hubbard Glacier calving into a suddenly roiled sea. Discover why Sitka was known as the “Paris of the Pacific” while a guide helps you scan the forest’s edge for brown bears and black-tailed deer. After watching for humpback whales aboard a jet-powered catamaran in Juneau’s Auke Bay, discuss the day’s breathtaking sights over local craft brews and a classic Alaskan meal of salmon grilled over a fragrant fire. Breathe in the air of pure wilderness from your private balcony aboard the most luxurious ship in Alaskan waters and know you’re indelibly connected to this humbling corner of the world. And perhaps dream of your return.

ST. MICHAEL’S CATHEDRAL

SITKA NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK

SITKA, ALASKA Snuggled between a mountain range known as the Three Sisters and Sitka Sound, this small town’s natural beauty is nothing short of epic. In the shadow of snowcapped Mount Edgecumbe, Sitka also boasts wonderfully preserved history and a thriving arts community. Founded by fur traders as New Archangel in 1799, Sitka was acquired by the United States of America as the Alaska territory in 1867. Explore the onion-shaped domes and gold-colored crosses of St. Michael’s Cathedral, a picturesque remnant of Sitka’s heritage. After absorbing centuries of history at the Sitka History Museum, stroll the downtown’s numerous art galleries, shops and restaurants, perhaps stopping for a locally made craft beer. Beneath a canopy of towering hemlock, spruce and cedar trees, behold the 18 totems carved by Tlingit and Haida artists along the remarkable Totem Trail in Sitka National Historical Park.

Cape Town, South Africa

Cruises that visit or depart from Cape Town sail to other destinations in Africa. The "Mother City of South Africa" is celebrated for its beautiful beaches and award-winning vineyards.

The 11 Best Cruise Lines for Adults

By Janice Wald Henderson

These Are the Best Cruise Lines for Adults in 2024

The world's best cruise lines for adults have one major perk in common: the child-free utopia passengers are afforded while sailing. Daydreaming on deck , leisurely romantic dinners, dancing into the wee hours, popping champagne, and even getting tatted—such unabashed joys have everything to do with being grownup and nothing to do with kids.

The best adult cruises allow passengers to pursue relaxation, rejuvenation, and indulgence, undisturbed by tantrum-minded toddlers and other children potentially ruining your me-time groove. For when it's time to sail away from the stresses of life on land, we've pulled together the very best cruise lines for adults, plus their most exciting itineraries available for booking in 2024 and early 2025.

Note that while some of these lines are strictly adults-only, others are adults-oriented, meaning that they may have some well-behaved older children on board during school holidays but otherwise, rarely do. Most are small ship experiences with geared-to-grownup itineraries spanning the globe and leaning into all-inclusiveness and luxury—all the better to admire when it’s all about you.

Formerly Crystal Cruises, the adults-driven luxury line was purchased by Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group, then dramatically remodeled and reborn as Crystal. Its legions of fiercely loyal fans are largely back, as are many familiar crew who pamper passengers incessantly. Its two gorgeous ships, 740-passenger Crystal Serenity and 606-passenger Crystal Symphony , fairly ooze sophistication and style.

US cruise ship finally allowed to dock in Mauritius after tests show no cholera aboard

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — A U.S.-owned luxury cruise ship with more than 3,000 passengers and crew was allowed to dock Monday in the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius after being quarantined offshore for a day over fears of a possible cholera outbreak onboard, authorities said.

The Mauritius government cleared the Norwegian Dawn, which is owned and run by the Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line company, to dock at the harbor in the capital, Port Louis, after health officials found no traces of cholera in tests conducted on the ship’s water.

Mauritius authorities blocked the ship from docking Sunday because 15 people onboard were ill with vomiting and diarrhea. The Mauritius Ports Authority said it took the decision “in order to avoid any health risks,” and sent officials onboard to collect samples to test.

The Mauritius government said the sick passengers who had been isolated after falling ill in fact had mild cases of the viral infection gastroenteritis.

Norwegian Cruise Line said in a statement that there were “a small number of guests experiencing mild symptoms of a stomach-related illness” and there were “no confirmed cases nor any evidence of cholera.”

The Mauritius government “required testing in an overabundance of caution,” it added.

Several countries in mainland southern African have experienced serious outbreaks of cholera over the last year, possibly leading to the concern from authorities in Mauritius, an island nation of about 1.2 million people off the east coast of Africa that’s a popular tourist destination.

Cruise ships were problematic during the COVID-19 pandemic, with many of them reporting outbreaks of that disease and having to be quarantined at ports.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says there’s a cholera epidemic in southern Africa, with a total of around 188,000 cases and 3,000 deaths in eight countries since January 2023.

Cholera spreads through food or water contaminated with the bacteria that causes it. Health officials were also testing the food onboard the Norwegian Dawn for cholera. Those tests results hadn’t yet come back but authorities said they were satisfied that there was no cholera threat after the water tests were negative.

There were 2,184 passengers and 1,026 crew members onboard the Norwegian Dawn when it arrived in Mauritius, the ports authority said. Around 2,000 of those passengers were due to disembark in Mauritius and end their cruise and 2,279 new passengers were due to get onboard.

Everyone leaving the ship would still be screened by health officials, said Dr Bhooshun Ori, the director of health services at the Mauritius ministry of health.

Norwegian Cruise Line said passengers would now disembark the ship on Tuesday.

The 294-meter (964-feet) long Norwegian Dawn has 14 decks, with a casino, a theater and a video game arcade among its facilities.

A regular cabin starts at around $2,000 per person for a 12-day cruise, according to the company’s website. For $47,000, you can have a 3-bedroom Garden Villa that comes with a private garden, a hot tub, an outdoor dining area and your own butler service.

11 Around-The-World Cruises For An Epic Getaway

"Sailing around the world" sounds so romantic, doesn't it? You're sailing to remote islands with like-minded people while chasing sunsets on a distant horizon. Sure, you can just board a plane to, say, New Zealand, but there's something so pure and patient about maritime journeys. Cruises are like floating resorts, which ease their way over the waves. It's the definition of "slow travel." 

Amazingly, in the modern world of jet-setting travel, round-the-world cruises do exist. Voyagers visit dozens of ports over the course of their odyssey, each with its own landscape, climate, and personality. There are lots of ways travelers can experience "the trip of a lifetime," but this kind of circumnavigation outmatches just about all of them -- and in style. However, there are a few things to consider before investigating such cruises. First, what does it actually mean to sail "around the world?"

Many companies use this phrase — and sail thousands of nautical miles — but only around a single ocean or hemisphere. Even when ships do sail a distance equivalent to the equator (or more), they rarely return to their precise port of origin. Also, these epic  cruise vacations can be pricey ; the kind of dream that merits cashing in a 401K, and the time commitment is also substantial, meaning months on the water. But for diehard cruisers, crisscrossing the planet could easily be worth the time and money, and if this sounds like you, these 11 cruise lines are scheduled to sail around the world.

Viking: World Cruise

For 138 days, passengers frog-hop through the Caribbean, pass through the Panama Canal, make their way to the islands of Polynesia, and skirt Australia, Asia, and Europe before finally dropping their anchor in London. On Viking's World Cruise, you can step ashore in 28 different nations and pick from 57 guided tours. Viking has been a prolific, respected cruise line since its founding in 1997, and this three-quarter circumnavigation sets sail in December 2024, so there's still time to book.

Ships are equipped with spas, luxury dining options, and cabin beds that can be separated or combined, among many other touches. Long before stepping aboard, the Viking website has a virtual 360-degree tour, acquainting future travelers with the ship's staterooms. Viking has thoughtfully put together a reading list to help travelers get a deeper understanding of the countries they will visit, which is especially helpful in little-understood destinations like Moorea and Indonesia. The ship also has a sizable library onboard for further research. This, plus its sophisticated tours and dining options that reflect the culture of each port, may explain Viking's moniker, "the thinking person's cruise." Quality does come at a price, with full passage starting at $59,995.

Ambassador: Grand Round The World Cruise

The Ambiance sets off from London, crosses the Atlantic, passes through Panama, and hits Australia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America before pinging back to the United Kingdom. Not only do you cross all the major oceans, but you actually cross the Atlantic three times. Most of these destinations are warm-weather ports, including Sydney at the height of summer. Sunscreen and wide-brimmed hats are recommended on this largely equatorial route.

Ambassador is new to the cruise scene, having been established in the United Kingdom in 2021, and Ambiance is its flagship vessel. Passengers will spend their 120-night voyage in extreme comfort, traveling to 24 countries and 34 ports of call, with top-notch dining, live entertainment, and about 35,000 nautical miles in between. If you can live without a porthole, opting for an  inside cabin on the cruise , then passage starts at the budget-friendly price of $8,500 per person, making this Ambassador cruise one of the most economical on this list. You can also add on drink packages and arrange tours in advance or onboard through an agent or the Ambassador app. You can also explore the ship before you travel, thanks to a 360-degree virtual tour. The 2024 voyage sets sail on June 6.

Regent: World Cruise

The 2026 Regent World Cruise starts in Miami and ends in Miami, which makes it convenient to coordinate, especially if you're already based in the United States. Regent Seven Seas Cruises was founded in 1992 and is a respected brand in the industry.

The ship, the Seven Seas Mariner, also lives up to its name with a formidable 154-night itinerary: the Panama Canal, points along Central America, a dozen Pacific islands, Australia, South Asia, East Africa, and two Atlantic islands before returning to Florida. The Mariner arrives in many well-trod ports like Cape Town and Acapulco, but the route also includes locations that most travelers would have trouble pinpointing on a map: Lautoka, Abidjan, and Male are all names cruisers will become familiar with. To really explore these places, Regent organizes a whopping 431 free shore excursions across six continents, 77 ports, and 47 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Sailing nearly 40,000 nautical miles with world-class spas, dining, and entertainment aboard doesn't come cheap. While you'll need to contact Regent to request specific prices, passengers can expect to pay nearly $100,000 for passage. Regent's World Cruise is considered a luxury-level experience with first-class airfare, gratuities, and 24-hour room service included. If this is your tax bracket, just wait until you see the suites.

Royal Caribbean: Ultimate World Cruise

Royal Caribbean has been taking tourists to far-flung destinations since the late 1960s, and it's now one of the most recognizable cruise companies in the world, so naturally Royal Caribbean would host a round-the-world voyage. But even for seasoned travelers, the Ultimate World Cruise is pretty, well, ultimate. Royal Caribbean's world cruise lasts 274 nights and arrives in no fewer than 60 countries. In other words, you'll spend nine months at sea and personally visit more than a quarter of the sovereign nations on Earth. The saga starts and ends in Miami, where the Royal Caribbean is headquartered, which should make arrangements easy.

The biggest bragging right of all: This cruise touches on every single continent, including Elephant Island and Paradise Bay in Antarctica. You'll find yourself in both Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia, plus ports you've never even heard of. That said, unless your soul is fueled by pure wanderlust, this itinerary may sound like a lot of cruising, which may explain why Royal Caribbean has divided the journey into four segments. Cruisers don't have to commit to the entire itinerary; they can easily pick from the quarter that most interests them. 

By the time you read this, a segment may be the only option left, as the next Ultimate World Cruise departs in December of 2023. The segments are significantly more affordable as well. An interior stateroom for the full cruise costs at least $60,000 per person, while a segment starts at $12,500.

Cunard: Full World Voyage

When the Queen Mary 2 departs from New York City on January 3, 2024, it won't return to this same harbor for 123 nights. The itinerary isn't exactly "around the world," but rather a crossing of the Eastern Hemisphere — twice. Passengers traverse the Atlantic to the United Kingdom, then ease their way down the eastern coast of Africa before beelining for Australia. The ship boomerangs back, with many stops in Asia, a shortcut through the Suez Canal, and a tour of the Mediterranean before heading back to the U.S.

The voyage comes at the heels of Cunard's 100th anniversary, making it the second-oldest company on the list. The Queen Mary 2 has been Cunard's flagship vessel since 2004, and the company has mastered hospitality over the past century, with exceptional dining, luxury suites, and Broadway-quality performances by the Royal Court Theatre. Cunard also takes pride in its children's facilities, encouraging families to travel together, as well as the great English tradition of afternoon tea. Most of the budget cabins on the Queen Mary 2 were already booked at the time of this writing, but cabins with balconies are still available, starting at the not-ludicrous price of $16,899 per person. 

Oceania: Around The World In 180 Days

When Junes Verne wrote his novel "Around the World in Eighty Days," his Victorian goal was to travel as quickly as possible. Oceania is now advertising the opposite: This journey takes passengers the long way from Los Angeles to New York City, across the Pacific, around Australia, along the coasts of East Asia, and then up through the Middle East, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and even Greenland. The itinerary doesn't spend much time in the "global south," so you'll have to visit Africa and South America another time.

The Miami-based Oceania was founded in 2002 and specializes in long-haul cruises, so they know their system well. This cruise may be especially appealing to foodies. The company takes particular pride in its onboard meals as well as in-country Culinary Discovery Tours. Passengers can also take advantage of The Aquamar Spa & Vitality Center, which can orchestrate a special dietary regimen.

Oceania exudes "small-ship luxury" and caps its total number of passengers at 1,250. Everything about the ship is more intimate than found on its larger cousins, from the live entertainment to the duty-free boutiques. If you like a small-town feel, 180 days should be just enough time to meet all your shipmates. If you can't summon the time or (at least) $47,599 by January 2024, the next ship departs in January 2025.

Princess: 111-Day World Cruise

This Princess cruise is another true circumnavigation, starting in Los Angeles and bearing west until the ship arrives back at its original dock. The 111-day cruise starts on January 18, 2024, and includes all three major oceans, both the Suez and Panama Canals, plus 47 ports along the way. The itinerary is light on Asian and African ports and skips South America altogether, but you can still enjoy visits to Australia, the Middle East, and numerous destinations around Europe.

Princess is a hallowed name in the cruise industry. Not only have its ships been sailing the world since the 1960s, but Princess is still one of the most profitable cruise companies in the world. Passengers can expect onboard enrichment programs, award-winning live performances, and rejuvenating treatments at the Lotus Spa. Each port will also bring its own offerings of special excursions, from river rafting to art tours. 

With its dependable quality of service and nearly four-month itinerary, it's remarkable that base bookings start at only $15,498. Better yet, if you want to circle the globe with the whole family, this Princess itinerary is a family-friendly cruise and offers youth programming, which is not always the case. If you miss this one, no worries. Three more, of varying lengths, are slated for January 2025.

Holland America Line: Grand World Voyage

Fort Lauderdale is the beginning and end point for the Zuiderdam, which spends 128 days making a complete circle around the globe. Holland America's Grand World Voyage is true to its name. Passengers travel across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, making port on five continents. Most of its destinations are clustered around Asia and the Mediterranean, and it skips over Australia. But the Voyage is a rare opportunity to sail up the Amazon River, with visits to inland Brazilian cities most travelers would never think to visit.

Holland America began as a shipping and passenger line in the mid-19th Century, and its history of cruising is nearly as old as the concept. The flagship Zuiderdam is a luxury vessel with a swimming pool and sizable theater. It also boasts several diverse dining areas, including the Pinnacle Grill steakhouse, the Italian-themed Canaletto, and the à la carte Lido Market. There's Billboard Onboard, a special room for trivia nights and karaoke, as well as World Stage, a presentation space with a wraparound LED screen. Bookings start at the more expensive rate of $22,499 for an inside cabin, and the 2024 voyage will set sail on January 3, 2024, but you can expect additional Grand World Voyages to be slated in the coming years.

Azamara: World Voyage

Formerly part of the Royal Caribbean fleet, Azamara is now an independent company taking its own journeys. The 2025 World Voyage begins in San Diego and sails westward, across the Pacific, to Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean, before passengers disembark in Barcelona. The World Voyage doesn't quite girdle the globe, stopping just short of the Atlantic Ocean, and the only stop in Africa is Giza. But this 155-night expedition should satisfy almost any traveler, especially with its 40 countries and 22 overnights.

Unlike many world cruises, Azamara has divided its full itinerary into segments with clear geographic themes, such as "South Pacific Jewels" and "Mediterranean Icons." These titles can help turn experiences into coherent narratives. For example, "Ancient Pathways" draws a historic and economic line between Mumbai and Athens, along with all ports in between. These themes are coupled with thoughtful excursions, which are often scheduled around local holidays and festivals. The World Voyage for 2024 appears to be sold out, but the 2025 edition sets sail on January 5. Passage starts at a princely $39,999.

Freighter Cruises

Some of us want to keep it simple. No need for late-night show-stoppers, cocktail parties with hundreds of strangers, or daring bets at the roulette wheel. "Freighter cruises" have gone by many names over the years, such as "banana boats" and "cargo cruises," but passengers have hitched rides on commercial ships since the dawn of seafaring. These accommodations come in many forms, and you do have to share your vessel with stacks of massive shipping containers; still, you can expect a comfortable cabin and regular meals, along with friendly and respectful crewmembers from around the world. For travelers with a Jack London streak, the freighter cruise feels raw and adventurous.

The Freighter Travel Club was founded in 1958, and companies like Maris Freighter Cruises and Voyage en Cargo have booked passengers on commercial vessels for years. Maris has arranged round-the-world itineraries in the past, and multi-week journeys are common, as enormous loads are floated from one nation to the next. The pandemic took its toll on this niche industry, and most of these journeys do not precisely travel around the world. But when they're in operation, freighter cruises usually cost a little over $100 per day, and savvy travelers have flexibility in their bookings.

Miray Cruises: Life At Sea

Sure, cruising is fun, but what if you want to turn your ship into a semi-permanent address? Life at Sea Cruises promises three years of luxury seafaring, with stops in 140 countries across all seven continents. By the time you're done with these 382 ports, you'll have more photos to sort through and stories to share than most people will amass in a lifetime.

That sounds life-changing, but we'll have to see whether it's too good to be true. Life at Sea is a brand-new enterprise from Miray Cruises, and the maiden voyage has been fraught with delays. However, at the time of this writing, Life at Sea should get underway by the end of 2023, and most full-voyage passengers should already be sailing by 2024. If all goes well, there are four scheduled embarkation options for travelers who want to hop aboard later on, and more will likely be scheduled.

One of the problems has been the ship itself. For a while, the purchase of the ship was in limbo, pushing back the original sail date. However, the MV Lara now seems ready to sail. The medium-sized vessel has space for 1,266 passengers, with a range of cozy cabins, a wellness center, and a pool deck, among many other amenities. Travelers committed to living at sea for three years should get a lot out of their floating home. Life at Sea is a dreamy concept, so let's hope for calm waters once it finally sets sail.

Regent Business School's webinar: Thought-provoking National Budget 2024 analysis

From left to right: Panellist, Nadir Thokan, head of investment consulting strategy at Alexforbes; Regent Business School’s dean, Dr Shahiem Patel; and panellist Kanyane S. Matlou, a senior portfolio manager at Terebinth Capital

As the nation stood on the precipice of economic transformation, the webinar provided a platform for industry leaders, professionals, and stakeholders to delve into the nuanced facets of Budget 2024. The session encapsulated a multifaceted exploration, unravelling the implications and ramifications of key budgetary provisions on businesses, investors, and individuals alike.

Navigating the economic terrain

The webinar commenced with an in-depth analysis, expertly elucidating the complex financial terminology embedded within Budget 2024. Through meticulous dissection, participants gained invaluable insights into the subtle nuances and intricacies, paving the way for a clearer understanding of its implications on the fiscal landscape.

Navigating the labyrinth of Budget 2024, the discussion traversed across various sectors, evaluating its overarching impact on the business landscape and individual financial strategies. From the introduction of a tax on income generated outside South Africa’s borders to the renewed incentives for embracing renewable energy, participants gained a comprehensive overview of the budget’s far-reaching implications amidst challenges such as high inflation and interest rates, volatility in markets, unemployment, and an ever-changing economic landscape coupled with a weakened currency.

The essence of the webinar thrived within its interactive forum, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas and perspectives amongst participants. Engaging in a meaningful dialogue, attendees contributed their insights and queries, igniting a spirited discourse on the national economic landscape and its potential trajectories.

Dr Patel remarked: “Our webinar epitomises Regent Business School's commitment to fostering academic excellence and facilitating meaningful discussions on pertinent economic issues. By providing a platform for dialogue and analysis, we empower our students and graduates to navigate the evolving economic landscape with insight and acumen.”

Insights unveiled: Key findings from the webinar

In the face of disappointing revenue and deficit numbers in terms of debt consolidation, it is apparent that SARS is working with very little from an economic growth perspective. It has underperformed from where treasury predicted it would five years ago. Nadir Thokan underscored the minister’s formidable task of crafting a budget speech that not only addressed pressing economic challenges but also strategically stimulated growth amidst the complexities of an election year.

Throughout the session, the expert panel unravelled a tapestry of insights, shedding light on pivotal aspects of Budget 2024:

Taxation dynamics: Delving into the intricacies of taxation reforms, the session highlighted the implications of the introduced tax on income generated outside South Africa, alongside the stagnation of personal tax rates, potentially bolstering consumer spending.

Entrepreneurship and SME support: Notable measures within the budget aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and SME growth were scrutinised, including allocations to the Innovation Fund and SEDA, alongside tax incentives for angel investors and the launch of a one-stop portal for small businesses.

Economic priorities and challenges: The discussion addressed the alignment of budget allocations with government economic priorities, emphasising key sectors such as healthcare, infrastructure development, and workforce development, while acknowledging the persistent challenges facing the nation's economic trajectory.

Kanyane S. Matlou asserted: “Overall, the minister adeptly navigated the budget speech, showcasing a steadfast commitment to fiscal consolidation and adeptly balancing crucial trade-offs.”

Unravelling uncertainties: Assessing risks and projections

The session navigated through potential risks and uncertainties intertwined within Budget 2024, scrutinising assumptions, projections, and unintended consequences. From the drawdown of contingency reserves to uncertainties in debt management reforms, participants gleaned insights crucial for strategic planning and risk mitigation.

Charting the course: Government’s economic strategy unveiled

In highlighting the broader economic trends and policy priorities embedded within Budget 2024, participants gained profound insights into the government’s overarching economic strategy. Amidst the backdrop of formidable economic challenges, the budget exemplified a cautious yet developmental approach, emphasising social development and sustainable growth amidst a turbulent economic milieu.

Through another successful unpacking of the Budget speech, Regent Business School has again proven that it is a pioneering institution dedicated to cultivating academic excellence and fostering thought leadership in business and related domains. With a steadfast commitment to nurturing critical thinking and innovative problem-solving, Regent Business School equips students and professionals with the acumen to thrive in dynamic economic landscapes.

Norwegian Dawn: Mauritius says cruise ship can dock after cholera scare

  • Published 26 February

Norwegian Dawn cruise ship

Mauritius has given a Norwegian cruise ship the all clear to dock at the capital Port Louis after finding no evidence of cholera onboard.

At least 15 people on the Norwegian Dawn were in isolation with a stomach illness and authorities feared it was cholera.

The director of Mauritius Ministry of Health confirmed the passengers had gastroenteritis, not cholera.

Dr Bhooshun Ori said the passengers have now "fully recovered".

Mauritian authorities had initially blocked the ship "to avoid any health risks".

The passengers developed mild symptoms of a stomach illness during a trip to South Africa, a representative of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings said.

Mary Francovilla Dees, 69, a passenger on the Norwegian Dawn, told the BBC that despite the delay the atmosphere on the ship had been "fairly calm".

"The passengers on this ship have appeared to take this in their stride," she said.

Ms Francovilla says passengers have entertained themselves by sitting by the pool, attending shows and going to the bar.

The passengers will be subject to screening by health authorities upon disembarking from the liner.

The Ministry of Health will provide medical assistance for all at the disembarkation point.

A Dutch passenger on board told BN DeStem that they were told by the captain that there could be a cholera outbreak on board.

Since January 2023, at least 188,000 people have been infected with cholera across seven countries in southern Africa, according to the UN. More than 3,000 people have died, with Zambia being hardest hit.

South Africa has reported 1,076 cholera cases and at least 47 deaths over the past two years, according to Africa Centres for Diseases Control and Prevention.

"The health and safety of passengers as well as that of the country as a whole are of the utmost importance to the authorities," the Mauritius Ports Authority said.

The ship arrived in Mauritius on Saturday evening after arriving a day early because it did not stop in Réunion Island.

There are 2,184 passengers and 1,026 crew members on the ship. About 2,000 planned to disembark in Port Louis, with another 2,000 expected to board at the same time.

Those who were disembarking or joining the cruise will now do so on 27 February, the Norwegian Cruise Line spokesperson said.
