MSC Cruises

See our Top MSC Cruise Deals

This well-liked Italian cruise company is proving ever more popular with British passengers with its combination of traditional cruise-ship style and informal ambience. With children traveling for free, MSC makes for a great cruise deal for families.

The mainly Italian crew creates a warm and friendly atmosphere, and the cuisine, created by Italian chefs will not disappoint. MSC’s newest ship MSC Poesia was launched in April 2008 with MSC Fantasia and MSC Splendida sailing in 2009 – bringing the latest in cruising fun and comfort.

MSC Armonia, MSC Lirica and MSC Opera sail from the UK, with destinations in Northern Europe and the Baltic visiting Norway, Holland, Denmark, Germany and Russia. The rest of the growing fleet offer fly-cruises worldwide, specialising in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, South America and Southern Africa. We offer some great cruise discounts and deals on all MSC Cruises.

Dining on MSC Cruises

Dining follows a more traditional cruise schedule with set dining times and tables, with a handful of additional eateries, including a sushi bar, buffet and speciality Italian restaurant.

Entertainment on MSC Cruises

There’s plenty of traditional entertainment onboard such as glitzy theatre productions, live music in the piano bars, karaoke competitions, casinos and nightclubs. Sport facilities include mini-golf on some ships, with gym and fitness equipment available for free. The latest ships bring new features such as water parks, a Formula 1 simulator and a 4D cinema.

Each ship includes an Aurea Spa, providing a range of massages, saunas and beauty treatments.

Families on MSC Cruises

Up to three children under 18 can cruise for free whilst staying in a cabin with two adults (excluding port fees), making MSC Cruises a great choice for families. The Mini Club provides supervised play for children with areas designed for different age groups such as playrooms for tots, videogame arcades for older children and discos for teenagers. Prepaid cards can give children freedom to buy soft drinks throughout the ship.

Cabins on MSC Cruises

Cabins range from standard inside twins to large ocean-view cabins and suites, with the latest vessels having considerably more outside cabins with balconies. Special family cabins are available on some ships in adjoining cabins with interconnecting doors. MSC Fantasia and MSC Splendida will feature suites within an exclusive area of the ship called the MSC Yacht Club.

Excursions on MSC Cruises

Optional excursions are available at most ports of call ranging from city tours by coach, walking tours and museum visits to more strenuous activities such as water sports and jeep safaris.

Gratuities on MSC Cruises

Approximately £5.00 per person per day is added as a fixed amount to all passengers’ accounts. This may be adjusted by contacting the guest reception desk at any point during the cruise.

The onboard currency is the Euro on Mediterranean and Northern Europe cruises and the US dollar elsewhere.
