The ship, a firm favourite amongst regular cruisers in the country, promises an intimate and refined experience with lots on offer for every kind of traveller. The enhanced entertainment offering ranges from evenings at the Teatro la Scala to enjoy a show, to the bliss of private sea views from your cabin balcony, MSC Musica<\/em> offers a memorable and personalised cruise experience for everyone.<\/p>\n

Ross Volk, Managing Director at MSC Cruises South Africa<\/strong>, said \u201cMSC Musica is a great ship for the South African traveller, with plenty of bars and lounges, ample deck space and endless entertainment for everyone to enjoy. We are excited to welcome new and regular cruisers alike, onboard throughout the summer.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Life onboard MSC Musica<\/em> is full of excitement and indulgence, starting with the ship\u2019s striking central foyer featuring a three-tier waterfall and a see-through piano suspended over a pool of shimmering water. Guests can explore the Havana Club cigar lounge, the glamorous Crystal Lounge, the many bars and lounges, enjoy captivating live shows and performances, try their luck in the casino or dance the night away in the disco.<\/p>\n

To celebrate South Africa\u2019s vibrant cultures, the onboard offering is tailored to the flavours and preferences of the local market. Guests can enjoy dishes with those unique local twists and entertainment by popular and much-loved local artists and performers.<\/p>\n

Families are also in for a treat with activities suitable for all to enjoy. The dedicated Mini, Junior, Young and Teens Clubs and Amusement Arcade ensure that younger cruisers have more than enough to keep them busy for the duration of their time onboard.<\/p>\n

The local season includes itineraries that showcase some of southern Africa\u2019s most beautiful destinations. The popular Portuguese Island cruise takes guests to an idyllic, uninhabited island off Mozambique\u2019s coast, where they can enjoy crystal-clear waters and local cuisine. Other voyages include the remote Pomene in Mozambique and the stunning islands of Mauritius, Madagascar and R\u00e9union.

MSC Cruises remains an important driver of economic growth within the environments in which the company operates and that is showcased by its various investments, including into port infrastructure and providing much needed job opportunities for the country\u2019s youth, through the company\u2019s international call centre which services various global markets.<\/p>\n
