Imagine stepping aboard a sleek, elegant ship where every detail is designed for your enjoyment, and every day offers something new. That’s the magic of cruising with the MSC Musica – a vacation that seamlessly combines leisure, adventure, and a touch of glamour. Whether you’re craving a relaxing getaway or an action-packed adventure, cruising offers an all-in-one experience that caters to every mood, every age, and every craving.
An MSC cruise Adventure
Back in 2016, I embarked on my first cruise with my dad and two sisters aboard the MSC Musica. It was like stepping into another world. From indulging in sushi and burgers to late-night pizza (yes, even at 2 a.m.), the food options were endless. My one sister, unfortunately, spent most of the cruise feeling unwell. A loss for her but a win for me as I happily used her alcoholic beverage tickets! Tequila sunrise for breakfast? Don’t mind if I do! Sipping cocktails while sunbathing on the deck and watching theatre productions were all part of the experience.
I am excited to be hosted by MSC Musica once again, as Unfold Durban has been invited to attend a cruise in January. I will be able to do more live videos and interviews on the ship to give you a real feel of the adventure for yourself
MSC Musica Launch in Durban
Photos below were taken at the MSC Musica Launch on 21 November 2024. I was able to mingle with friends and media personalities, Doreen and Geoff from Durban TV and Louise Pharma from Vibe FM. I met some of the cruise travel agents, Boitumelo Boity Ramaswiela and Carmen Spenceley and dined with the evening’s talented entertainment, singer, Salim Kagee and Comedian Rory Petzer.

All-In-One Fun
Cruises offer the ultimate no-fuss vacation. Unpack once, settle into your cosy cabin and let the ship handle the rest. There’s no hopping between hotels or juggling travel logistics. Whether you’re indulging in fine dining, relaxing in a spa, or dancing the night away at a deck party, everything is within arm’s reach.
Onboard, there’s something for everyone. Fancy a Broadway-style show? Check. Want to try salsa dancing or learn the art of cocktail mixing? Done. Prefer to keep it simple with a good book by the pool? That’s sorted, too(Did you know there is even a library on board?). For families, cruising is a dream: kids can dive into supervised activities, teens have their hangouts, and parents get much-needed downtime.
Of course, if it’s making memories you’re after, few things bring family and friends closer than shared experiences. Collaborate on an adventure at a port of call, join forces at a trivia contest, come together for theatre nights and deck parties, cheer each other on at karaoke, or simply soak in a picture-perfect sunset. Every moment is an opportunity to create memories that will have you laughing and reminiscing long after you’ve returned home.
Incredible Value with the MSC Musica
Cruises are surprisingly cost-effective. Your fare typically covers accommodation, meals, entertainment, and many onboard activities. Booking extras like excursions or drink packages in advance can save even more. Where else can you explore exotic destinations by day and enjoy Broadway-style productions by night without the hassle of packing and unpacking?
Why You Should Book Your Next Cruise
So, if you haven’t considered cruising yet, what are you waiting for? Whether it’s the allure of the open sea, the promise of adventure, or simply the idea of being pampered for days on end, cruising might just be the effortless, fun-filled getaway you didn’t know you needed.
