DESTINATIONS

The ‘Eco’ aspect of the hotel’s name is more than just a word. It defines everything they do and every element of the way they work. Thaba is committed to managing its environmental impact with a strong focus on xeriscaping. This conserves through creative landscaping at the hotel to minimise the need for water use.

Thaba’s Eco-Drive offers outdoor fun while learning more about the fauna and flora, history and ecology of the area. This exclusive excursion at either sunset or sunrise will set the tone for a memorable experience.

AMENITIES

The Kraal Restaurant provides a warm atmosphere for guests to unwind and enjoy the finer things in life – superb food and wine, delightful desserts, and rich aromatic coffees. The hotel’s executive chef and his team satisfy the most discerning palates, with their wide variety of dishes on the separate menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Seating is available indoors and outdoors on the front and back decks, as well as in the garden area, where children have access to the fun-filled kiddies’ outdoor play area and equipment.

ITINERARIES IN 2022

MSC Cruises has seen a steady year-on-year increase in the South African MICE cruising market. This can be attributed to a growing number of companies and agents becoming aware of its great value-for-money and convenience cruising offers.

Some of the most popular meeting and incentive destinations around the world in 2022 include Italy, Spain, and France. Mauritius and the Caribbean remain popular destinations, albeit more expensive than Europe.

This season, MSC Cruises is increasing our product offering to MICE clients as we bring two ships to South Africa for the very first time. Guests will get an opportunity to sail away on the MSC Orchestra from Durban or MSC Sinfonia, which will be operating exclusively out of Cape Town.

FACILITIES AND SERVICES

Each vessel has facilities and services, which include conference rooms, lounges, meeting rooms and a theatre that can accommodate up to 1 600 guests. Guests can make use of the onboard Wi-Fi connection, high-tech audiovisual equipment, as well as advanced sound and lighting systems.

All conference facilities are furnished with the same sense of style that distinguishes our fleet. Superb accommodation, fine dining, entertainment and countless opportunities abound for rest and relaxation following your event.

VISIBILITY FOR CLIENTS’ BRANDS
