The return trip from Cape Town is a long cruise, but allows you to settle into cruise life and really relax, as opposed to the short cruises, where its go, go, go.
One gets to know the crew a little better and also to meet and mix with the other passengers, which greatly contributes to the experience.
MSC shipboard life is extremely well organised, the ship is well maintained and expertly run. Add the excellent catering, professional shows and interesting excursions, which all add up to a very relaxing holiday.
