PRICE TRANSPARENCY WITH NO SURPRISES

An MSC Cruise offers so much in one transparent price and, despite recent increases in global fuel prices, the cruise line will not be introducing a fuel surcharge this summer, giving guests extra confidence there are no unexpected added costs. The price guests see at the time of booking is the price they will pay, part of the best holiday ever commitment, just peace of mind and a seamless holiday experience this summer.

SEAMLESS AND FULLY PROTECTED FLY & CRUISE PACKAGES

MSC Cruises offers a wide range of Fly & Cruise packages that bring together flights, transfers and a cruise into one coordinated, protected holiday for added convenience and reassurance.

Designed to simplify the journey from start to finish, these packages are built in partnership with some of the world’s most renowned airlines meaning guests can focus on enjoying their holiday rather than the logistics of getting there.

Flights are carefully aligned with cruise schedules, with transfers included between airport and ship and dedicated support is in place throughout the journey, helping to manage any unexpected events, ensuring guests can continue their holiday plans with confidence.

Booking is simple and straightforward, guests can select their preferred cruise itinerary, choose the Fly & Cruise fare, and confirm flights as part of the booking process.

A HOLIDAY THAT STARTS CLOSER TO HOME

For those who prefer to travel without flying, MSC Cruises offers one of the widest selections of no‑fly cruises available, with an extensive choice of local embarkation ports.

With convenient access by car, train or other local transport options, getting to the ship is simple and flexible, allowing the holiday to begin in a relaxed, stress-free way, and without worrying about overweight luggage.

Local embarkation is a simple gateway to multiple itineraries visiting standout destinations in the region and beyond, with MSC Cruises visiting over 300 destinations across the globe.

EFFORTLESS SHORE EXCURSIONS TAKING CARE OF EVERY DETAIL

Exploring multiple destinations and waking up somewhere new each day is what sets cruising apart, and discovering each location is easy thanks to a wide range of thoughtfully curated shore excursions.

With a dedicated team on board to help to prioritise an authentic and smooth excursion experience, booking a shore excursion directly with the cruise line also ensures guests have added peace of mind, knowing the team is on hand to help, with tours that focus on quality, safety, and reliability.

Guests can also enjoy the freedom of a flexible cancellation policy in the event of any unexpected circumstances.

For guests sailing in the MSC Yacht Club, exclusive excursions offer the opportunity to uncover hidden gems, with experiences guided by local experts that provide a unique and authentic perspective on each destination, for an even more tailored experience.

PACKAGES THAT OFFER A FREE CRUISE CHANGE

MSC Cruises Fantastica, Aurea and Yacht Club experience bookings allow guests to make a free cruise change. This means that up to 30 days before departure, the guest can change to another departure within 90 days after/before the original date or a different destination, with no change fees.

TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY WITH ADDED TRAVEL INSURANCE

For added peace of mind, MSC Cruises also offers comprehensive travel insurance, providing reassurance should the unexpected occur. Benefits include cover for trip cancellation or interruption, travel delays, medical and transportation emergencies, emergency assistance, and baggage loss or delay.
