Cruise Ships

A Cruise ship holiday is a unique experience that represents an element of elegance, sophistication and romance. Despite the ultra modern design of cruise ships and their facilities, there remains an air of mystery about a cruise - it is a diverse and multi dimensional product. Besides this, there are many more tangible attractions to cruising, such as pre and post tours as well as shore excursions. Kuoni Private Safaris has already successfully co-ordinated all the land arrangements for two cruise ships which graced our shores in 2005 - one in March 2006 as well as one in November 2006.

Previous Cruise Ships
February 2005 saw the arrival of the MS Albatross in South Africa and in March 2005, the TS Maxim Gorki. Apart from the various day excursions at the various coastal ports and pre and post tours arranged by Kuoni Private Safari staff, each ship has its own passenger exchange day. The Albatross saw 280 passengers disembarking and more than 350 embarking onto the vessel. The Maxim saw 150 passengers disembarking and nearly 200 embarking onto the vessel. An operations Manager from Kuoni Private Safaris was on hand with both vessels at each port to oversee the smooth running of each and every excursion and procedure, and to make sure that all bookings ran smoothly.

At the end of March 2006 Kuoni Private Safaris hosted the MS Alexander von Humboldt as she called on South African ports and enjoyed the many scenic highlights of South Africa and in particular the ports of Cape Town, Mossel Bay, Durban and Richards Bay. Kuoni Private Safaris planned and confirmed pre-and post tours for guests traveling on this vessel as well as day excursions to various parts of South Africa. Whilst docked in Cape Town harbour, there was a passenger exchange day arranged by Kuoni Private Safaris where 295 passengers either disembarked or embarked onto the vessel.

In November 2006 the MS Amadea graced our shores. This magnificent cruise ship offers her 600 passenger's unrivalled levels of comfort and luxury. The Amadea visited all major ports in South Africa, including a 4-day stop to Cape Town followed by Mossel Bay, Port Elizabeth, Durban and finally Richards Bay. Kuoni Private Safaris confirmed pre - and post tours, day excursions for passengers traveling on the Amadea, as well as co-ordinated a passenger exchange day with a movement of 500 passengers either embarking or disembarking from the vessel.
