MSC Cruises has announced its adding a sailing from the UK in 2027.
From 8th May to 30th October, MSC Meraviglia will sail from Southampton, offering 19 sailings ranging from 6 to 14 nights.
MSC Virtuosa will complete her ex-UK Summer season in 2026, and then move to the Mediterranean for Summer 2027. From April to October 2027 she will sail from Barcelona, visiting La Goulette, Palermo, Naples, Livorno, and Marseille.
Antonio Paradiso, VP of International Sales at MSC Cruises, said:
“We want to give our customers new experiences, so it’s wonderful that MSC Meraviglia is sailing from the UK in Summer 2027. She’s a beautiful ship, and part of the same family as MSC Virtuosa. Customers have told us that they want longer sailings, so we are offering 6-14 night holidays visiting new destinations including Ibiza, Gibraltar and Tangier in Morocco, as well as favourite destinations in the Mediterranean and Norwegian Fjords.
MSC Virtuosa, one of our most popular ships, will sail in the Western Mediterranean in Summer 2027. We’re seeing strong demand from UK customers for Mediterranean cruises, so having MSC Virtuosa there for Summer 2027 is a natural fit for us.
And for people looking to get away in Winter 2026/27, I’m delighted to have MSC Preziosa back in the UK doing the longest season ever from Southampton, replacing MSC Poesia.”
