Starlight Cruises, South Africa's well-known operator of regular cruises from and around the South African coast, is introducing the MSC Sinfonia to our waters.

From November, the luxury liner MSC Sinfonia will operate cruises from Durban to destinations in the Indian Ocean and Mozambique Channel. At 58 600 tons and close to 2 100 passengers, the MSC Sinfonia will be the largest and most luxurious ship to have ever operated from a South African port.

This new and very modern ship has 778 cabins and, of these, 135 are suites with private balconies. The ship also has three restaurants; seven bars; two pools; a spa; a business and conference centre; an internet cafe; casino; cigar room; disco; fitness centre; golf simulator; library; card room; mini-club; teens' club; exchange office; and medical centre. So no, you won't be at all bored while cruising.

Children are more than welcome. What's more, children up to the age of 18 travel free.
