Starlight Cruises, South Africa’s only operator of regular cruises from and around the South African coast, has announced that the luxury liner MSC Sinfonia will operate cruises from Durban to destinations in the Indian Ocean and Mozambique Channel from November 2009.

At 58 600 tons and hosting close to 2100 passengers, the MSC Sinfonia will be the largest and most luxurious ship to have ever operated from a South African port.

The MSC Sinfonia is a new and modern ship hosting 778 cabins, of which 135 are suites with private balconies. The ship also boasts three restaurants, seven bars, two pools, a spa, business and conference centre, internet café, casino, cigar room, disco, fitness centre, golf simulator, library, card room, mini club, teen’s club, exchange office and medical centre. The facilities and onboard activities allow for travellers to tailor-make their own experience whilst in the luxurious surroundings.

“The market appears to be calling out for a world class liner in the region,” says Starlight director Allan Foggit, “The South African economy suggests to us that our timing is exactly right. We believe the Sinfonia represents the highest level of luxury cruising at the best value, and offers the most exciting local holiday in these trying times. This is definitely the biggest single development in the local cruise industry in South Africa since we first pioneered leisure cruising off this coast.”

From daytime activities to evening entertainment, all tastes and needs are catered for. Children are more than welcome with relevant facilities offered. Children up to the age of 18 travel free.
