Rising
popularity of cruising
"Imagine
a cruise around Africa, via the Suez Canal,
stopping at exotic ports on the Mediterranean,
Atlantic and Indian Ocean. Or if that's not enough,
Africa's rivers and lakes offer an abundance of
opportunity for everything from soft adventure to
luxury. From what we've heard at this year's travel
show circuit, travel agents can expect some new
cruise programs involving Africa. Stay tuned for an
update and progress on our Africa Cruise
Supplement. Living three blocks from one of the
world's top cruise ship terminals, we have a
definite interest in this mode of travel. Editor.
