There was a time when voyages to and from South Africa were more common, but for the moment, there are only a few opportunities. MSC offers one ir two southbound sailings to Durban each autumn and a northbound sailing or two each spring, nearlys always to and from Italy. The map below portrays a typical voyage.
Other ships such as Fred Olsen's BALMORAL and Cunard Line's QUEEN MARY 2 offer occasional spring voyages from Cape Town to Dover or Southampton.
Another opportunity is being offered in P&O's AURORA on 4 April 2011, when she leaves Cape Town for Southampton on what will be a 15-night voyage via Walvis Bay, St Helena and Madeira.
