MSC Musica will set sail
in South African waters
in November next year,
heralding a new era for MSC
Cruises in South Africa. Musica
will replace the Sinfonia.
Angelo Capurro, MSC
Cruises executive director of
Emerging Markets, told TNW
that Musica would be the
first of MSC Cruises’ newgeneration
ships to sail in
South African waters. He adds
that MSC Cruises is unique
because the operator designs
its own ships.
MSC Cruises md South
Africa, Ross Volk, says Musica
will offer 300 extra cabins,
more swimming pools, dining
and entertainment options
including a sushi restaurant
and one of the largest theatres
in its fleet.
The group launched seven
ships this year, says Angelo,
all of which can accommodate
more then 5 000 passengers.
Angelo says the group is
hoping to grow from 1,9m
passengers per annum to five
million.
He says cruising has proved
to be a popular holiday
for passengers, with an
impressive 98% satisfaction
rate.
