What past passenger have to say
WHAT A TREAT!
When I was younger, my parents would take me and my siblings on cruises. We always had so much fun! But as I got older, I stopped going on cruises with them. I guess I just thought it wasn't for me anymore. But when my friends asked me to come for a cruise from Durban to Portuguese Island I couldn't say no! And boy, was I in for a treat!
SO PEACEFUL!
I had my heart set on exploring every inch of the island, but my husband was content lounging on the beach all day. I'm not one to sit still for very long, so I set off on my own while he napped. The island was exactly as I imagined – peaceful, quiet, and serene. The vegetation was dense, and I had to be careful where I stepped as there were hidden rocks and roots everywhere.
WE SAW DOLPHINS!
I was excited to go on the Portuguese Island cruise. Our cabins were so nice and the evening shows were amazing. We even saw dolphins when we were exercising in the gym. The cruise was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
BEST FOOD EVER!
Portuguese Island is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The Orchestra is top-notch, and their food is simply amazing. I don't know what their secret is, but they do have some of the best food ever - I just ate so much. Plus, their staff members are excellent too.
LOTS OF FUN!
Portuguese island stopover was the highlight of our New Year cruise. We had so much fun dancing on the beach.
