The vessel, named “SH Diana”, which departed from Acre, Brazil, two weeks ago, has already travelled through Greenland, England, the Netherlands, Lisbon, the Canary Islands, Dakar and Ghana. Its next destination is Cape Town, South Africa.

One hundred and fifty-eight tourists of various nationalities disembarked in Luanda on the morning of Sunday, 11 October, for a 48-hour stay as part of Angola's tourism promotion programme.
According to José Cabral, Managing Director of the travel and tourism agency "TravelGest", the programme for their stay in the country's capital includes visits to the Iron Palace, the Currency Museum, the Museum of Anthropology, the Military History Museum and the António Agostinho Neto Memorial.

He added that a small group will visit a beverage factory to observe the manufacturing process, where they will have the opportunity to experience producing their own drink.
José Cabral stated that the arrival of tourists in Angola by cruise ships and other means forms part of the efforts to promote and publicise national tourism in international markets.
The official noted that this tourism segment has existed in Angola since 2012, when the country began receiving cruise ships at its various national ports.
José Cabral also emphasised that the initiative continues efforts to promote Angolan tourism, with the aim of attracting an increasing number of foreign visitors through cruise ships and other means of transport. MGM/HDC
