Studio One and Cruise and travel Holidays

Cruise to South Africa 2025

Your adventure will start in Durban, South Africa, where you will enjoy 5 days at the Southern Sun Elangeni Hotel before enjoying a 7-night cruise on MSC Musica and then finishing with 3 nights in Cape Town at the Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa. While in Durban, we have included a day trip Safari to the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Reserve, where you will have the chance to see the big 5.

The beautiful MSC Musica will take us to Portuguese Island (Inhaca Archipelago) and Pomene in Mozambique. You will have a choice of accommodation whilst onboard. Choose to stay in an inside stateroom, an oceanview stateroom or a balcony stateroom. Your meals and gratuities are included while onboard the ship. There is NO drinks package available on this sailing.

There will be a number of party nights over the course of this holiday provided by Studio One and their team. Access to these private parties can only be gained by booking through Cruise & Travel Holidays. We have gone to considerable effort to secure our own areas to hold these events.

Entertainment provided by the Studio One team, on and off the cruise ship will require an entertainment wristband and appropriate lanyard which is available from the Studio One team.

MSC Musica

Life on MSC Musica is lovely from the moment you step onboard. As soon as you see the central foyer’s three-tier waterfall and its see-through piano, suspended on a crystal floor above a pool of shimmering water, you know this is a special ship.

The designer venues on board are equally inspiring, whether you’re dancing to a band in the dazzling Crystal Lounge, relaxing in the stylish Havana Club cigar lounge, gaming in the Sanremo Casino or enjoying a live show in the stunning Teatro la Scala.

Details about Safari

The oldest proclaimed nature reserve in Africa, Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Game Reserve is all about wildlife. About three hours from Durban, you’ll leave the city bright and early for a full day of game drives and animal-spotting, searching for elephants, lions, zebras, and more.

You don’t need a whole week to go on safari—one day here will yield memories that last a lifetime. Hassle-free round-trip transfers from your lodging in Durban Ride a 4x4 into the African bush looking for the Big 5 Your guide provides tips and tricks for wildlife-spotting.

These are free roaming animals within the reserve and there are no guarantees you will see all the Big 5 but we do try our best.
