MSC Sinfonia will head to Walvis Bay and Lüderitz on the maiden voyage of the 2012 South African season.
The Sinfonia was scheduled to sail for the first time to the whaling town of Hermanus and then on to Mossel Bay but, due to operational reasons, will no longer follow this course. The maiden voyage, departing November 28 from Cape Town, will now head for the popular Namibian destinations.
“While we were excited to showcase one of South Africa’s most beautiful whale destinations,” notes Allan Foggitt, Marketing Director of MSC Starlight Cruises, “we must respect the restrictions to cruising to this area. MSC, as a leading member of the European Cruise Council, has agreed to promote a transparent and sustainable cruise industry, and will share good practice with relevant maritime authorities.”
MSC Sinfonia has 777 cabins, of which 132 are balcony suites. The ship also has four restaurants, 10 bars, two swimming pools and the luxurious MSC Aurea Spa.
Guests can enjoy world-class performances in the San Carlo Theatre and take advantage of the state-of-the-art fitness centre, golf simulator, casino, mini club, teens’ club, disco, Internet arcade and luxury shopping. Additional facilities include a business and conference centre and medical centre.
