20 May 2022 EXPECTED BUMPER SEASON FOR 2022 CRUISE Cruise Cape Town is gearing up for one of its biggest seasons to date, with millions expected to be injected into the Western Cape economy. After two years of rolling pauses, Cruise Cape Town is delighted to announce 104 confirmed ship visits for its 2022/23 Season kicking off in October 2022. The trips are made up of 26 cruise ships carrying more than 195 000 visitors expected to be docking at the Cape Town Cruise Terminal. “The importance of the Cape Town cruise stopover to the tourism sector and marketing of the destination cannot be underestimated. The resumption of cruise this year, while largely local is a positive direction to a full recovery with real prospects of us returning to our pre covid growth with international travellers later this year. We have successfully integrated the Cruise Terminal into our service amenities such as hotels, attractions, and retail offerings and we are eagerly looking forward to showcasing the best the waterfront has to offer”, added David Green, CEO of the V&A Waterfront.
