Last minute cruise specials

2011-11-11. For those with the flexibility to plan a cruise holiday in November, there are some pretty neat last minute specials. I especially like the 27 Nov cruise to Barra Lodge (always wanted to go there). These cruises also avoid the festive season rush.

Book now at MSC Sinfonia to avoid disappointment (these specials can be withdrawn at any point).

Below are the prices for 2 adults sharing one outside cabin with a window, all inclusive.

Buy 1 get 1 free

And if you'd prefer sailing from Cape Town, there's a buy-1-get-1 free special on the MSC Melody on the 6th of December cruise to nowhere. For a couple sharing an inside cabin, the cheapest price is R3720 for the 2 of you (including port charges, service charges & insurance).

Japan has planned its first low cost carrier for March 2012, Peach Aviation.

It's been reported that Malaysia Airlines is planning to cut its flights to Johannesburg & Cape Town next year, in a bid to reduce costs.

Simbavati River Lodge, near Hoedspruit, has updated its rates, from R2250 per person sharing for a Luxury Safari Tent.

Signing a 20-year lease agreement with the Cavaleros Group, Sun International has taken over the lease of the Grayston Hotel in Johannesburg, previously run by Southern Sun.

Grand Central Airport, in Midrand, hopes to begin commercial flights by mid-2013, with Airlink flights between Cape Town and Johannesburg (ACSA's astronomical increase in airport taxes no doubt made this decision easier).
