Join us on a spectacular 11-night cruise visiting some of the most popular Islands in the Indian Ocean.
From the time you join a cruise aboard the MSC Melody, there’s something to entertain you every minute of the day or night. Start the day with a hearty breakfast out on deck and then try your hand at some of the many activities offered on board. Or you can just sit back and relax in a comfortable deck chair and watch the waves pass you by.
After lunch, leave the kids at the crèche and enjoy a short siesta in your air-conditioned cabin. As the sun sets, enjoy the delectable Italian cuisine on offer followed by comedy or cabaret shows. For the night owls there is a disco where you can dance into the early hours of the morning or visit the casino for a date with Lady Luck.
With three meals daily including midnight snacks and tea and pastries served at various intervals, your waistline will be your only concern as the MSC Melody cruises the Indian Ocean.
11 nights - Star Travel Club members save up to R10 164 per couple.
