Cruises from Cape Town

Regular cruises from Cape Town are on the MSC Sinfonia and RMS St Helena cruise ships. Look up the cruise below which best suits you (MSC Melody Cape Town cruises ended on 7 March 2011).

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.

Nkosazna Dlamini-Zuma, SA's Minister of Home Affairs, has ignore Winde's requests for a meeting. In her absence, 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.”
