Africa-Press – Angola. The cruise ship ‘Seven Seas Voyager’ docked Tuesday at the Port of Luanda with 619 excursionists from South Africa, making a total of 11,115 tourists of various nationalities visiting Angola from November 2024 to the present day.
This is the 12th cruise of the 2024/2025 tourist expedition season, which opened last November with the aim of exploring the main tourist attractions of the Angolan capital and taking visitors to see some aspects of the national culture.
The majority of the excursionists are of South African, North American, Brazilian, Chinese, French, Australian, Canadian, English and Japanese nationality.
The excursionists who arrived Tuesday are expected to visit the Military History Museum, the Republic Square, Luanda Island and the Mint Museum, according to the tourist itinerary.
Speaking the general director of the company promoting the expedition, ‘Travel Gest’, José Cabral, said that another cycle has been completed to provide these citizens with Luanda’s hospitality, as well as presenting the city’s historical heritage and natural beauty, in a clear boost to attract tourism to the country.
‘Since we started receiving tourist ships 13 years ago, this season (2024/2025) was the one with the most cruises, surpassing the last two years, which had less than 10 ships per season,’ he emphasized.
José Cabral believes that there is a growing trend in Angola’s tourism potential, which is why he believes that the next season will exceed 12 cruises and also the number of tourists.
The head of the Tourism Support Department, Rossini Almada, said that the act represents Angola’s integration into the international tourist circuit, as well as an opportunity to publicize the potential of the capital and the country’s postcard.
The ship from South Africa is bound for Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.
Since the beginning of the process on 24 October 2012, when the country received its first cruise ship with 150 excursionists, Angola has received 63 ships of this kind to date.
