Reality star and businesswoman Sorisha Naidoo, known for her role in "The Real Housewives of Durban", has taken to the waves for an enchanting European holiday alongside her husband, Vivian Reddy and their two children, Saihil and Kalina.
The family set sail with award-winning cruise line, Celebrity Cruises, and their journey has been nothing short of spectacular.
Documenting their unforgettable trip through a series of vlogs on her social media platforms, Naidoo has given her followers a front-row seat to their adventures.
From luxurious days at sea filled with yoga classes and artistic glass sessions aboard the cruise ship, to explorations of historic destinations on port days.
"Day one on the cruise, we boarded and watched the ship sail away ... Lots to do on the Celebrity Cruise ship, and I think for me it was about the yoga classes, the hot glass sessions, but we decided to take it easy into the night and have a little bit of sushi ...
"Our first port day, we got to go to Pompeii. We saw tons of things," said Naidoo during the video.
As the ship made its first port stop in Pompeii, the family was eager to embark on their exploration. The vlogs reveal Naidoo and her family experiencing the enchanting ruins of this ancient city, where history and architecture intertwine beautifully.
"There's probably a million tourists at this time that we're here, so everything is packed," she continued.
In a separate vlog about their excursion to the iconic Tower of Pisa, Naidoo expressed her admiration for historical structures.
About a beautiful ancient church, she said: "It is so gorgeous, the attention for detail is incredible, why don't we build things like this now. I want to see more buildings like this.
"I'm so tired of these glass fronts. These modern, boring, no imagination buildings, I think we need to go back in time. We need to step it up ... It's so detailed, it's unbelievable."
Offering practical advice for fellow travellers, Naidoo advised to 'hold tight to your bag and keep your belongings safe,' while noting the hot Italian sun during this season.
Her choice of attire, a lightweight linen ensemble, was both stylish and practical, keeping her comfortable as they explored stunning cities filled with charm and history.
'When you're going out to Italy or Europe in the prime of summer, linen is the way to go,' she recommended.
Culinary experiences were also a highlight of their trip, as Naidoo described every dining experience as 'pure bliss".
From fine dining aboard the cruise to sampling delectable local cuisine ashore, the family indulged in the flavours of Italy, making the most of their time together.
