For South Africans, a local cruise is one of the best ways to completely unwind, with all your accommodation, entertainment and dining needs met in one place. It’s a great option for first-time cruisers, and because kids travel free, it’s an awesome choice for a family mini-break.

Airline ticket pricing can be a head-scratcher. Hands up if you’ve ever seen an excellent airfare rate advertised, but as soon as you enquired about it, the price had gone up by hundreds – if not thousands – of rands. Frustrating much?
