MSC Sinfonia ~ 2013/2014 South African Season

[cruiser101101]

At the moment their are rumors that the MSC Sinfonia will not come back to South African for the 2013/2014 season. According to MSC it will be.

 

Any ideas on this?

 

Thanks :)

They're selling an ocean voyage from genoa to Cape Town departing 11 November on the UK site which would indicate that she is going to be doing a 2013/14 season in South Africa

I would tend to believe MSC. I can't see them dropping Sinfonia for 2013/2014 as they have a captive market with increasing customer demand (popularity of cruising).

I believe that the Sinfonia will be taking over the routes that the Melody used to do, cruising primarily from Cape Town, and the Opera will be doing the routes from Durban.

I doubt very well if that is true.

I doubt very well if that is true.

 

Why do you say that?

 

Looking at the UK site, the Opera seems to mainly have routes out of Durban whilst the Sinfonia has some out of Cape Town and some out of Durban for early 2014.

I have a confirmed (?) booking number for the Sinfonia's 17 March 2014 sailing from Cape Town back to Genoa. So far everything seems fine on the MSC website.

Don't be so sure!

Oh my - I am hopeful that it will all be ok as I have three back to back cruises booked in early December......

I have a confirmed and paid up booking for the January 2014 cruise out of CapeTown on the Sinfonia (8day).
