MOSSEL BAY NEWS - According to Transnet National Ports Authority’s (TNPA) Acting Port Manager for the Port of Mossel Bay, Shadrack Tshikalange, the port is scheduled to receive five different cruise liners this season between up to February 2018, although the national season runs until April.

Tshikalange said passenger liner tourism was aligned with TNPA’s vision of opening the port to people, thereby positioning Mossel Bay as a key tourism hub.

“The cruise season provides a big boost for the Southern Cape’s economy, allowing tourists on stopovers to access tourism, leisure and wildlife experiences in and around our town. We’re delighted that Mossel Bay continues to receive its fair share of cruise ships as more cruise line companies show confidence in our port, alongside TNPA’s usual stimulus home ports of Durban and Cape Town,” he said.

Tourists on holiday this season may look out for the splendid Boudicca (8 January), the MS Europa 2 (28 January), and the Seabourn Sojourn arriving on Valentine's Day, 14 February 2018. Why not plan a romantic getaway to Mossel Bay with the love of your life aboard one of these cruise liners?

More than 20 luxury cruise ships operated by 17 international cruise lines are expected to call at South Africa’s six cruise ports during the 2017/18 cruise season.
