AmaWaterways adds Myanmar to portfolio
AMAWATERWAYS has introduced a Myanmar river cruise
itinerary to its portfolio this year. The new itinerary is part
of the AmaVoyages Collection, which features itineraries that
give clients extraordinary experiences in more remote and
undiscovered destinations. The Golden Treasures of Myanmar
is a 14-day cruise, while the Hidden Treasures of Myanmar is
16 days. The itineraries include life-enriching tours and shore
excursions; fine dining with all meals; a welcome and farewell
dinner; complimentary house wine, local beer and soft drinks
meals on board and entertainment such as cultural shows,
puppet shows and lectures on Burmese culture.
MSC ships get total revamp
MSC Cruises, through its Renaissance programme, will renew
and enlarge four of its 12-ship fleet, including the South
African-based MSC Sinfonia, which is expected to cost around
€2m (R284m). All facilities aboard MSC Sinfonia will undergo
renovations and an extra 24 metres will be added to increase
capacity and amenities. The ship will return to South Africa
for the 2015/16 season and will also boast more on-board
entertainment. On August 31, MSC Armonia entered the
Fincantieri shipyard in Palermo, Sicily, where it will remain
until resuming service on November 17 with an inaugural
Mediterranean cruise from Genoa to the Canary Islands. In
addition to new cabins, MSC Armonia will have new areas
for the baby club, a new young club for kids, as well as a
teens’ club. The ship will also feature a new lounge area, an
extended restaurant, a library and the MSC Aurea Spa
