South Africa Cruises

A journey of a thousand souls.

The beaches of the Indian Ocean on one side, deserts stretching towards the Atlantic on the other. A land of contrasts, the southernmost part of Africa offers a travel experience which is one of a kind, where nature reigns with breath-taking landscapes , from volcanoes to giant reefs of smooth, dark granite rock and soft skies and lagoons suspended in time. This is the background to life in this great and multifaceted continent.

A journey on an MSC cruise will take you on a discovery of locations deep in wild and luxuriant natural settings. Visitors to the African Continent, will be overcome, on their return home, by a subtle nostalgia and a desire to return to those lands. This feeling is known as mal d'Afrique, and there is good reason for it. So don't  hesitate to be seduced by fascinating tours to  places such as Cape Town  in South Africa , Pomene  in Mozambique , Port Louis in Mauritiu s  and Lüderitz  in Namibia . Africa has never been so close.

“To encourage patronage, Your Cruise People has introduced a 20% discount on MSC cruises for customers.

“MSC is getting closer here and we are hoping that one day it will position its vessel here in Tema and sail to Takoradi and continue from there to Abidjan and come back to Tema. We can only demonstrate the traction exists if we can prove to MSC that Ghanaians can afford cruise,” he said.

The MSC offerings include various packages such as 8 all-inclusive land and cruise package featuring a 5-day cruise with full board, entertainment, drinks, port charges, gratuities, and accommodation in Cape Town.

Additionally, there are Southern African end of year 15-Day cruise, land and flight packages and Southern African Christmas 11-day cruise, land, and flight packages with comprehensive amenities.
