A Culinary Opus Aboard Of MSC Splendida

Cruising into South Africa's shores for its inaugural local season, the ship promises not just stunning coastal vistas but a symphony of culinary delights.

The ship's debut at the Port of Durban was celebrated with a lavish night onboard, offering a taste of the luxurious experience awaiting holidaymakers.

Guests here are treated to a gastronomic extravaganza at the Butchers Cut Steakhouse and Sea Pavilion Restaurant, tantalizing taste buds with delicious smoked tomato soup, Alaskan sockeye salmon, ribeye steak, and an exquisite array of sushi.

The onboard experience extends beyond delectable dining. With spacious cabins, including balconies in 80% of them, accommodating over 4,000 passengers across nine decks, Splendida offers a luxurious retreat. The comfortable cabins boast king-size beds, ample storage, and modern amenities.

The evening can continue with a slow dinner service at La Reggia dining room, prompting exploration of the ship's entertainment offerings. From live performances by Dr Victor & the Rasta Rebels to Mafikizolo drawing crowds at the Aft Lounge and pulsating beats at Club 33 Disco, the night is always alive with music and fun.

Late-night cravings can be satisfied with a delicious slice of margarita pizza and hot chocolate before retiring for the night. Breakfast at Bora Bora Buffet offers an extensive selection ranging from continental to full English breakfast, leaving no room for monotony.

For both Cape Town and Durban embarkations, the ship's itinerary spans the Indian and South Atlantic Oceans, calling at picturesque destinations like Portuguese Island, Réunion, and Mauritius. Even for a landlubber, the allure of the ocean and the ship's warm hospitality proves irresistible, leaving a desire for more leisurely indulgence.

MSC Splendida's promise of a luxurious cruise season invites travellers to bask in the beauty of the seas and savour a wealth of experiences in the lap of luxury.
