OPPIWATER ARTS FESTIVAL 2026

Our arts festival aboard a cruise liner, the Oppiwater Arts Festival, will set sail for its twelfth year on the luxurious MSC Opera in 2026, featuring the best in theatre, drama, comedy, music, opera, and dance! This is the ideal way to attend an arts festival, as your food and accommodation are included in your cabin fare.

Please note that the Oppiwater fee grants you access to the festival but does not include individual tickets to any of the productions. By paying the Oppiwater entertainment fee, you will have access to subsidized tickets (from R75.00 to R225.00 per ticket, compared to commercial prices of R190.00 to R350.00). Tickets for the various productions should be booked at LTickets.co.za, preferably before boarding. The festival program will be announced on 1 October 2025, and some of the best productions and artists in the country are already confirmed. Festivalgoers are advised to book their tickets early at LTickets.co.za. Tickets will be available on board for $17.00 each (approximately R340.00), so it is advisable to secure your tickets in South Africa at LTickets.co.za.

Vir die twaalfde keer gaan ons Oppiwater Kunstefees Skippie weer vaar. Ons feesgangers gaan heerlik fees hou aanboord die mooi en luukse MSC Opera, met teater toneel, komedie, sang, musiek en dans. Hierdie is die ideale manier om ‘n Kunstefees by te woon, want jou kos en verblyf is reeds by die prys ingesluit!

NB: Neem asseblief kennis dat die Oppiwater-fooi jou toegang gee tot die Oppiwater Kunstefees, maar dit sluit GEEN individuele kaartjies na produksies in nie. Met jou Oppiwater-fooi, kry jy wel gesubsidieerde en goedkoper kaartjies (van R75.00 tot R225.00 per kaartjie in teenstelling met kommersiële kaartjies van R190.00 tot R350.00).  Kaartjies vir die verskillende produksie moet apart bespreek word by LTickets.co.za . Die Feesprogram word op 1 Oktober 2025 bekendgestel, en van die voorste produksies en kunstenaars in die land is reeds bevestig. Feesgangers word aangeraai om vroegtydig hulle kaartjies by LTickets.co.za  te bespreek. Daar sal kaartjies op die MSC Opera beskikbaar wees teen $17 (ongeveer R340.00) per kaartjie, so dit is beslis wys om eerder vroegtydig hier in Suid-Afrika by LTickets.co.za  te bespreek.
