The cruise season has definitely started. The Aida Stella with its characteristic eye and smile stopped in at our cruise terminal.
With a length of 253m and passenger capacity of 2190.
She’s easy to spot with that smile, eye and central entertainment theatrium.
There’s always something to see and do at the Point Waterfront.

MSC Cruises’ flagship vessel, MSC Euribia, made a historic technical stop at Durban’s Nelson Mandela Cruise Terminal on Wednesday.
At 331m long, 15 passenger decks and able to accommodate 6321 passengers she is truly a sight to behold.
She also runs on liquid natural gas making her environmentally friendly as well. Unfortunately she won’t be a part of our cruise season which officially starts on the 22nd of November

Well this is an interesting arrival at the cruise terminal! The Yuan Wang 7 ( stock photos, too obscured by the terminal ). A Chinese “ spy “ ship. Listed as a research vessel the Yuan Wang-class of tracking ships are used for tracking and support of satellite and intercontinental ballistic missiles by the People's Liberation Army Strategic Support Force of the People's Republic of China.
Quite an interesting looking vessel full of all sorts of gadgets!

The SA Surfski Eurosteel 2024 champs took place over this last weekend, the 13th July.
Flat sea conditions, sunny skies and no wind provided favourable conditions for the paddlers. Great viewing from Seasides front row apartments.

Hank McGregor and Josh Fenn powered away from the opposition over the final 100 metres to claim the men's title, while Kira Bester and Melanie van Niekerk broke away early in some "bumpy" swells they found to claim the women's national title.

Saturday the 13th July.
Durban is already starting to heave as many South African and international rugby lovers follow their beloved Teams into our lucky City. Hollywoodbets Kings Park has undergone 6 months of makeover in readiness for this big day. Today the Springboks arrived and conducted a pitch inspection (with happy faces all around), and we expect the Ireland team to come through soon.
With the game selling out in a record 1 hour and 45 minutes of going on sale, interest is massive for the 2nd Test with the Springboks having won last Saturday at Loftus stadium. If you happen to bump into anyone speaking in an Irish accent over the next few days, welcome them to our City, and wish them 'the luck of the Irish' for Saturday, because the feeling is that they will need it.
If you are lucky enough to have a ticket to the game, come early to avoid the congestion.. otherwise join the party by watching the game with family and friends at a local restaurant or pub.
To our Seaside Holiday Apartments guests, if you going to the game, enjoy. Otherwise cheer the Boks on at your favourite watering hole 🥃🍾

SARDINE RUN 2024
The greatest shoal on earth! Here’s a couple of pics of what’s headed our way. Just netted off Umgababa and Margate. Soon to be spotted off Durban right in front of Seaside Holliday Apartments. Make sure you keep up to date and book your front row seat. Get in on the action when they are being netted!

Durban has been abuzz with comrades runners over the past few days with our regulars booking into our apartments. We wish them all the very best.

For your info the legendary Comrades Marathon is the world's oldest and largest Ultramarathon. The 97th running of Comrades Marathon 2024 will be back to an 'up run'. If the record-breaking Comrades 2023 is anything to go by, the celebration of The Ultimate Human Race in 2024 will be even bigger.

The Comrades was run for the first time on the 24th of May 1921 and has been run every year since, with the exception of World War II and, unfortunately, 2020 & 2021. The race was the brainchild of WWI veteran Vic Clapham to commemorate South African soldiers killed during the war. Clapham himself had endured a 2,700km trek through East Africa during the war and wanted the memorial to be a supreme test of physical endurance.

All the very best to all runners and event coordinators, stations along the way, medical aid and of course the cheering waving crowds lining the route. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃🏽‍♂️‍➡️

Done and dusted 2024
I’m told almost 2ton of fish came out over the two days, the weather was great and the atmosphere fantastic. So many prizes from so many generous sponsors.
The winning fish coming in at 25,96kg a whopper!

The leading fish on the first day, 21+ and 19+ kg

While the start took place at sunrise the Costa Deliziosa cruise ship entered Durban harbour, what a beautiful morning.

The annual Barracuda competition is this weekend the 27 and 28th April.
If you’re lucky enough to be in one of Seasides front row apartments don’t forget to wake up at sunrise. The spectacle of all the ski boats launching off the beach is quite something!

Virgin Actives Resilient Lady called in at Durban last night. What a spectacle! The futuristic design was breathtaking and then the lit up sign ❤️Durban❤️ was so unexpected!
278 metres long and a capacity of 2770. So very different to the usual cruise ships calling in at our terminal.

MSC Virtuosa update!
The biggest cruise ship to call in at a South African port had no passengers when it called in a few days ago! The ship was on a return trip to Europe and not only stopped in to refuel and stock up but also to avoid the Red Sea where Houthi pirates are plaguing all manner of ships. They also took the opportunity to showcase the magnificent vessel to Durban.
Please call again😀

Sailing into Durban this evening. The magnificent MSC Virtuosa. Sister ship to the MSC Grandiosa, the two largest ships in the fleet. What a sight to see from one of the balconies of Seaside Appartments! With a length of 331m, carrying capacity of 6334 passengers and crew of 1704 it’s worth taking a short walk to Robsons Brewery and take in the sight with a drink in hand.
