Your Africa, one of Tourvest Destination Management’s (TDM) flagship brands, will be handling the Southern African portion of the Asuka Cruise Charter excursion in 2012.
The Asuka II is a Japanese cruise liner operated by NYK Cruises that will be travelling around the tip of Africa in April 2012, visiting Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. Your Africa will manage all the land arrangements and day tours for the estimated 600 passengers on board. Excursions will include Victoria Falls, the Chobe National Park in Botswana, as well as day tours in and around Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.
The cruise liner made its maiden visit to the region over the recent Easter period after it was rerouted from its planned journey through the Suez Canal.
Your Africa has been active in the Japanese market since the amalgamation of Crown Travel into the business in 2009 and won the tender for the South African portion of the charter in close collaboration with its key customer, UTI Japan.
Staff from both UTI and Your Africa accompanied the cruise liner in April and will again closely assist with all the ground planning and logistics for the 2012 charter.
