Cruise Routes
There are Cape Town cruises to Namibia (Walvis Bay), Durban, Italy and Southampton. Popular routes are:
Cruise tip: Make 100% certain that you attend the sailaway party on your departure from Cape Town, as it offers the magnificent backdrop of Table Mountain.
Here's the view you can expect when cruising to Cape Town :
If your ship is in Table Bay at dawn, this is the view you can enjoy as you sail from Cape Town :
9 January 2018: The Department of Home Affairs together with SA immigration will be implementing their new Biometric System which will apply to all passengers who will be embarking on the 9th of January 2018 departure. The Biometric System will be rolled out at the Cape Town terminal as part of this new pilot project. The Biometric data capturing process, which is integral to the success of the project refers to the capturing of anatomical or physiological data by which a person can be uniquely identified - in this case your fingerprint data will be captured at the port when you begin the embarkation process. Please be aware that the embarkation process will be delayed due to this new system and we thank you for your patience in advance.
19th January 2015: The MSC Opera is unable to enter the port of Cape Town, due to strong winds.
17th March 2014: The MSC Sinfonia sails from Cape Town for the last time, on her way to Genoa. She is not returning to South Africa's shores for the 2014/2015 cruise season, instead she's heading to the dry dock to be stretched and have 200 cabins added.
28 Feb 2014: With only a few weeks left before the Sinfonia leaves the Cape waters to go back to Italy, people are still trying to find cabins onboard this old favourite. There are still some open spots. Pop us a mail or fill in the form above to enquire.
27 Jan 2014 : The Queen Mary 2 arrives in Cape Town in the morning, docking at the Eastern Mole. It's great that she's here, but a pity that she couldn't dock at the V&A Waterfront. No surprise that Alan Winde (toursim MEC for the Western Cape) said that he was hoping that construction on Cape Town's dedicated terminal begins this year. The Queen Mary 2 leaves Cape Town for Durban on Wednesday the 29th January 2014.
17 March 2014. The MSC Sinfonia embarks on her last cruise from Cape Town, a repositioning cruise to Genoa, Italy. For the 2014/2015 season, MSC Cruises are sending only the MSC Opera to Cape Town's waters.
11 November 2013. The MSC Opera arrives in Cape Town to being the 2013/2014 South African cruise season.
December 2012. It's reported that the Transnet National Port Authority will, in 2013, proceed with a "request for proposals" to build a permanent cruise liner terminal at E-Berth in Cape Town harbour.
7 March 2011 The last time the MSC Melody sailed from CT
March 2012 South Africa's Department of Home Affairs moves aheads with its January directive to stop cruise ships from docking at Cape Town's V&A Waterfront. “For twenty years, security and immigration procedures have been managed without incident at Jetty Two. Out of nowhere, Home Affairs suddenly enforced a ban without an alternative tourist-friendly facility within the port. Tourists now have to dock amongst containers at a cold storage yard. This is no way to receive guests to our province.” says Alan Winde, Western Cape Minister of Economic Development & Tourism. Tariq Mellet, Director: Immigration Services, Western Cape, says that “There has been no recent decision to ban anything. A long-standing problem of non-compliance with the Immigration Act required the department to take steps in November to ensure compliance.”

2 Feb 2014 "We've recently returned from a fantastic holiday / cruise on the MSC Sinfonia – we were on the ship for a 3 night cruise, 17 to 20 January 2014 to Mossel Bay and enjoyed every minute. We were made to feel extremely welcome by the crew and they were so helpful with everything. The entertainment as well as the food were great, it was very relaxing and everything was awesome including the lovely restaurants and shops. There was lots to do including the club, sauna and gym and we thoroughly enjoyed it all! Hoping to return later in the year or next year for the 5 night cruise.......Can’t wait!" Jayne Rayner
2013. Amanda wrote a review of her CT to Durban cruise , which she did with the rest of her family. She recommends taking an official excursion into PE, booking an outside cabin and not to be put off by the pricing in US Dollars.
2013. Catharina sails from CT to St Helena Island : "We were amazed at the rich history the island has and the tourist highlights we managed to see in the short time we had available."

Tugs & pilot boats
Key an eye out in the harbour for the tugs & pilot boats. Always interesting to watch them bend into the wind & the waves crash onto their decks, as their brave crew assist ships in and out of the harbour
A CT travel agent wrote to tell us : "My client told me that many passengers disembarked in Cape Town and went straight to the airport to fly out again – without spending any time here at all! There was a small group that was spending just the day here and flying out in the evening. This is very strange." So if you're on a flight to Cape Town for the cruise, do spend some time touring around the city, or else you're missing out on half the adventure - see our CT day trips page, if you're short of ideas.
Port of Cape Town
Cruise ships generally dock at E-Berth in Duncan Dock (see map below). There is parking in the vicinity, although it gets pretty full on the day of a cruise, so you are advised to arrive early.
The Transnet National Ports Authority has budgeted R3billion to build a new passenger terminal in 2014, which is better located. On the 23rd September 2013 the Chief Executive of the Waterfront, David Green, said that they are preparing a bid for the new Cape Town cruise terminal to be at the Waterfront - they're submitting their bid in October 2013, after which Transnet Ports Authority were meant to spend 5 months deciding which bid to go with. The Waterfront believe they can increase their contribution to South Africa's GDP by 51% if they're allowed to develop a cruise terminal at the Waterfront.
On 1 July 2015 Transnet National Ports Authority announced that the V&A Waterfront was the preferred bidder for the Cape Town cruise terminal. The V&A Waterfront is responsible for operations, maintenance, and will transfer ownership back to the Transnet National Ports Authority in 2035. The cruise terminal is expected was completed around December 2017.
![msc cruise to nowhere cape town Cape Town harbour surrounded by Table Bay and the City of Cape Town](https://www.southafrica.to/harbour/images/table-bay/20200104/cape-town-harbour-table-bay.jpg)
The Port of Cape Town is situated in Table Bay and is managed by the Transnet National Port Authority. The port manages the most fresh fruit in South Africa. It has an impressive backdrop of Table Mountain and the Cape Town city, and part of it forms the Cape Town Waterfront, a major tourist attraction. There are some impressive hotels in the harbour area, like the nearby Cape Grace (the closest hotel to E-Berth), and these are well worth a visit before or after your cruise. Because of the strong south-easterly win in summer months, the harbour is sometimes closed to ships entering and exiting - which poses obvious challenges to passenger liners. The port is also home to the Royal Cape Yacht Club.
The establishment of the harbour in Cape Town dates back to the 6th April 1652 Jan van Riebeeck & co arrived in Cape Town to set up a resupply station for ships travelling from Europe to the East. In 1882 the Robinson Dry Dock was completed, and is today the oldest functioning dry dock worldwide.

MSC Splendida reveals record-breaking season in South Africa
MSC Cruises has announced that their MSC Splendida had a season of note in South Africa this past summer 2023/24.
![msc cruise to nowhere cape town msc splendida](https://s43365.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/msc-4.jpg)
MSC Splendida closes off on a good note
With an incredible summer season done and dusted on the MSC Splendida, which saw close to 120 000 passengers, MSC Cruises South Africa’s managing director Ross Volk has said that they were eagerly anticipating the return of the newly-renovated MSC Musica to South Africa for the next season.
According to Bizcommunity , Volk said that the current trends were looking positive, with many South Africans seeing cruising as the best value proposition for holidaying because of its’ all-inclusive price for a unique experience.
“Cruising is not just great value, it’s also increasingly being seen as a way to experience destinations in a new way, to get under the skin of the locals, so to speak,” Volk said.
“This emphasis on experience is particularly a mark of Generation X and Millennials, who are turning towards cruising in greater numbers.” he added.
MSC Musica on its way
And South Africans can now look forward to another cruise ship experience this year, with the arrival of the MSC Musica being deployed to SA ports for the 2024/2025 cruise season from 22 November 2024 to 30 March 2025.
Some of the routes South Africans can expect are favourites like Durban to Mozambique, Durban to Mauritius, Durban to Marion Island, Durban to Cape Town, Cape Town to Walvis Bay, and Cape Town to Durban.
WHAT’S ONBOARD?
Guests can look forward to elegant luxury onboard the MSC Musica, including:
- 16 decks with 1 275 guest cabins,
- eight indoor and two outdoor lounges and bars,
- three swimming pools,
- four restaurants,
- a nightclub,
- boutique shops,
- a game room, and lots more.

Silversea has opened general sales on its World Cruise 2027, The Three Oceans . Set to call in 80 destinations – more destinations than any voyage in the company’s history – the 149-day sailing will connect 50 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 35 countries.
Additional opportunities to meaningfully connect with the local culture will abound, with exclusive events crafted by Silversea’s destination experts, dozens of S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) culinary experiences, various seasonal enrichments, and much more.
Silver Dawn will sail from Los Angeles to Copenhagen, departing on 8 January and traversing the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans. Responding to strong demand for all-new destinations among Silversea’s guests, the itinerary incorporates 20 new calls for a Silversea World Cruise – many of which are accessible only to small ships, such as Langebaan, South Africa; Hambantota, Sri Lanka; and San Sebastian, Spain.

- Venturing on to Southeast Asia, guests will experience the rich cultural landscape of Bali, including the Borobudur Temples, and the historic city of George Town.
- Throughout March, Silver Dawn will take guests to Singapore’s Botanic Garden; the old town of Galle in Sri Lanka’s Blue Whale season; Praslin’s Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve; Aapravasi Ghat, the historic remains of an immigration depot, in Port Louis, Mauritius; and the cirques of Reunion Island.

Travellers will engage with the storied history of the United Kingdom, journeying back in time at Skara Brae in Scotland’s Orkney, the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, the medieval Caernarfon Castle in Wales, and Cornwall and West Devon’s mining landscape in England.
- From Dublin, Silversea’s guests will explore the Archaeological Ensemble of the Bend of the Boyne — Europe’s largest and most important concentration of prehistoric megalithic art.
- Ahead of arriving in Copenhagen at the voyage’s conclusion, guests will experience many of Northern Europe’s most enriching points of interest, including Urnes Stave Church in Oslo, on a call that coincides with Norway’s National Music Day; Bergen Wharf; the Røros Mining Town in Trondheim; and Kronborg Castle, among others.

More time in port
In addition to 11 overnights in destinations such as Honolulu, Papeete, Colombo, Cape Town, Singapore, Bordeaux, and more, guests will spend longer in port than on any other World Cruise, averaging over 12 hours in port, with late departures in two-thirds of all visited destinations. Meaning, Silversea’s guests will benefit from deeper exploration on land, with immersive experiences curated by the company’s destination experts — from Colombo, for example, guests can access the sacred city of Kandy, the Old Town of Galle, Sigiriya (Lion’s Rock), and the Sinharaja Forest Reserve.

World Cruise events
As well as a bon voyage gala dinner, a series of special events will enhance the voyage for guests, offering exclusive access to tailor-made experiences in true Silversea style:
- On the archipelago of Hawaii, guests will honour ancient Polynesian seafarers at a sunset ho’olaule’a in Honolulu, with traditional fare, tropical libations, and a night of stargazing.
- An included two-night overland experience from Durban to Port Elizabeth will enable travellers to journey deeper ashore into the heart of southern Africa. Guests will arrive by air to witness the majesty of the iconic Victoria Falls from every angle – accommodated in unique comfort in a luxury outpost alongside the Zambezi River.
- Guests will enjoy a curated night of musical performance at St. Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast, with harmonies from across the Emerald Isle, fine local gastronomy, and various cultural celebrations.
