FRIENDLY STAFF
I had a wonderful experience on the MSC Opera cruise ship from Cape Town to Walvis Bay. The views were incredible and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. I even had the chance to see some whales and dolphins swimming in the ocean! If you're looking for a unique and luxurious way to explore South Africa, I would highly recommend taking a cruise.
MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE
If you're looking for a place that has it all, Portuguese Island should be at the top of your list! The scenery is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing, and the MSC staff members are top-notch. We had an ocean view cabin and the extra light was a must.
SUPER EASY TO BOOK!I was really happy with how easy it was to book my cruise on the Hupla website. After booking, the team answered all my questions and made sure I was ready for my trip. The cruise itself was wonderful, and I would definitely recommend Hupla and MSC to anyone looking for a great cruise experience.
