With the rain and grey skies quite literally dampening the mood, now is the time to think about warmer climates and book a summer holiday with the help of MSC Cruises. Guests can enjoy the convenience of no-fly cruises from Southampton or begin their journey from outside the UK with an array of sought-after destinations to explore this summer such as the Mediterranean, The Nordics, The Caribbean and The Middle East.
While on board an MSC Cruise, guests can create their ideal holiday depending on what floats their boat with many memory-making experiences on offer. Here are some of our top picks:
- Action & adventure – MSC Cruises offers an incredible range of shore excursions for guests to explore each destination. PROTECTOURS offers unforgettable experiences in close contact with nature and communities; 70% of the tours involve activities with zero environmental impact. Local guides, with an expertise in wildlife or traditions, help guests save baby sea turtles in the Caribbean, clean the desert in Abu Dhabi, explore Iceland by horseback, or immerse in Corfu’s magical world of bees. Guests can add a PROTECTOUR in Zadar, Croatia to a 7-night sailing on MSC Sinfonia.
- Rest & recharge – If relaxing is the order of the day, MSC Aurea Spa is the place to be. With a thermal area, professional massages, body treatments, facials and beauty services, guests can pamper themselves for a holiday of pure escapism. What better way to relax than on MSC Cruises’ newest ship – and its first LNG-powered ship – MSC World Europa, with a 4-night Mediterranean cruise.
- Lavish luxury – MSC Yacht Club is MSC Cruises’ exclusive ‘Ship within a Ship’ concept, for a luxurious experience like no other. Lavishly appointed suites, an exclusive 24-hour butler service and a dedicated concierge, are just some of the indulgences Yacht Club members are treated to on board. Guests can enjoy all this on board MSC Cruises while setting sail for Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the Line’s private island in the Bahamas. Swap the UK’s muddy puddles for crystal clear waters on board MSC Meraviglia for 7 nights departing from New York.
- Family & fun – The activities for families are never-ending, which is why MSC Cruises is known for its award-winning family offering. Take the long-standing partnership with the LEGO Group, which has designed the kids club areas and on board activities. Families can enjoy a fun, safe, and hassle-free environment while on board MSC Virtuosa, departing from Southampton for an airport-free holiday in Northern Europe for 14 nights.
While costs are rising elsewhere, it’s hard to beat the value that a cruise offers, even more so with an all-inclusive package. MSC Cruises has created an array of great-value drink packages and cabin treatments with all gratuities included for guests to enjoy on board to make the whole experience at sea that much better.
