Cruise Tourism Boost for Kenya as MV Viking Sky Docks in Mombasa

A magnificent welcome unfolded at the Port of Mombasa as the cruise ship MV Viking Sky docked at Berth One, bringing approximately 750 passengers and 450 crew members to Kenya’s coast.

The vessel arrived at around 7:30am after sailing from the Seychelles, and passengers were greeted with vibrant performances from traditional dancers, showcasing the rich culture and hospitality of the Kenyan coast.

Tourists were swiftly transferred in a fleet of tour vehicles to explore some of Kenya’s most iconic attractions — including world-famous game parks, pristine beaches, and cultural heritage sites — highlighting the country’s diverse tourism offering.

Officials from the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), Kenya Tourism Board, and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) were present to receive the ship and its visitors. During the visit, KWS officially launched its new “Cruise-to-Park” initiative, offering tour operators a 30% incentive for bringing groups of 100 or more cruise tourists to Kenya’s national parks. The programme aims to strengthen cruise tourism and encourage more international visitors to experience Kenya’s wildlife.

Speaking at the event, KWS Coast Senior Assistant Director Ms Elema Hapicha described the arrival of cruise ships such as Viking Sky as a strong signal of Kenya’s growing reputation as a premier Indian Ocean cruise destination.

Southern Bypass to Diani is finally open.
The construction of the southern bypass to Diani and Kenya’s South Coast is now officially open for light vehicles, which include tour vehicles, minibuses, and coaches. This project is part of Kenya’s Vision 2030. The project consists of two bridges, of which one is the longest in the Africa continent, measuring 1.45 km across the Indian Ocean.

The new bypass connects both Mombasa SGR train station and Moi International Airport. This means we will no longer be using the ferry to reach Diani and Galu. The long wait has finally come to an end. The good news is that from any of the Diani resorts, it will now take approximately one hour to get to the airport (excluding any multi-stops at resorts), the journey will be faster than it has ever been. The new route goes through virgin farmland with beautiful scenery.

As a leading DMC, we have been lobbying to have this new route officially opened for the convenience of our mutual guests travelling to Diani. The bypass is also a huge welcome for safari guests to both Tsavo East/Tsavo West, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Amboseli on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. This bypass allows for a more seamless and efficient journey reducing time to reach the Southeastern Parks of Kenya.

The bypass will also provide a more efficient journey for those guests wishing to take Mombasa city tours and other excursions in the north coast of Mombasa.
