Date Posted: 20/06/2024
Welcome on board your MSC Cruise: your holiday is about to start! Open the window in your thoughtfully designed cabin, take in the stunning sea views and list to the sound of the ocean. Unpacking just once, the world is waiting to greet you – on board one of the 22 ships in the fleet.
Whether it’s a suite, a duplex apartment or interconnecting rooms for families, every detail has been carefully considered to ensure you’ll feel wonderfully rested and pampered. This relaxing haven of comfort and entertainment will be home for the next seven days or so. All settled in? It’s time to take a peek at the daily programme to find out what’s in store. Oh, tonight’s gala night, so head to the professional hair and nail salon or barbershop to be glammed up. Then it’s time to shine as you walk down the Swarovski staircase to start your journey in style. Finally, don’t forget to order room service for a laze breakfast in your cabin tomorrow morning.
On board MSC Virtuosa, sailing from Southampton this summer, you could experience a whole host of exciting ports of call as well as all the beautiful features on board. There are so many thrills and spills at your fingertips, the tricky bit will be choosing what to do. First, it’s time for some family fun. From shopping to sipping cocktails by one of the 5 pools on board, or whirling down the waterslide, there’s something for all ages. With 5 dedicated children’s clubs on board, the little one’s will never be bored. Ready for an adrenaline rush? Climb into the F1 Simulator? Sure! As the sun sets, there’s even more to do. Tonight, you are booked into the Chef’s Table, before heading for a drink from the Robotic Waiter – Rob - and heading to a quiz or late-night party.
For us sustainability means protecting the environment, supporting the people who work with us and choose to travel with us, as well as the communities and places that we visit. As a family-owned company with three centuries of seafaring heritage, MSC Cruises is committed to preserving our oceans and our plant, both now and for future generations. With our cruise sustainability programme we are introducing cleaner fuels across our cruise ships, promoting responsible travel through our excursions, reducing plastics, recycling and reusing waste on all our ships and producing our own freshwater on board directly from the sea. Over 80% of freshwater produced on board our fleet is from desalinated seawater – up to 3 million litres per ship every day! What’s more, you can drink a beer of desalinated sea water, which is brewed on-board – fact.
Don’t forget, MSC Cruises visit 240 destinations across the fleet, so the world really is your oyster and with their newest ship, World America launching this year, there will be even more choice of stunning destinations to holiday in. Don’t be surprised if you don’t find a deck 17 on board though, there is no deck 17 on any MSC Cruise ship…call it superstition.
What’s included? Accommodation, dining, entertainment for all. Sport and fitness. With MSC you always enjoy class-leading accommodation from our comfortable standard cabins to tluxury of the MSC Yacht Club. You have a wide choice of dining from a buffet with pizza and mozzarella made freshly before your eyes, to elegant restaurants serving delicious dishes. There’s an extensive choice of live entertainment with nightly-changing shows and kids clubs offering endless fun. While the wealth of sports facilities means you can return home fitter than when you left. We partner with Chicco infant games and care products to a massive choice of LEGO creativity and advanced Technogym equipment covering a wide variety of sports.
