Geneva, SwitzerlandβApril 4, 2022βMSC Cruises will introduce new βStay & Cruiseβ packages this summer to provide guests with the chance to get the most of their vacation, both ashore and at sea, by offering an enriched and complete end-to-end experience.
The lineβs guests for East Mediterranean voyages will have the opportunity to spend up to two days exploring either Venice, Italy or Athens, Greece before they set sail for their seven-night vacations at sea.
The offering will also be rolled out in late summer 2022 for MSC Cruisesβ U.S. sailings from Miami and Port Canaveral/Orlando with New York added in summer 2023.
The new comprehensive offer includes up to two nightsβ accommodation in a 4-star hotel with breakfast included, a half-day city exploration excursion, luggage transfers from the hotel to guest cabins onboard the cruise ship and private ground transportation to the vesselβs embarkation port. Air travel can also be booked through MSC Cruises and added to the βStay & Cruiseβ packages.
The hotels will have dedicated MSC Cruises staff on hand at convenient times throughout the day to provide guests with a wealth of information and βtop tipsβ for getting the most from their city excursion. Staff members will be stationed in the hotel lobbies to provide guests with a seamless and stress-free experience.
The new packages for East Mediterranean itineraries will go on sale by end of April and can be booked through MSC Cruisesβ website or through travel advisors.
The two-day βVenice Viewpointβ will be available for guests looking to sail onboardΒ MSC Armonia,Β MSC Fantasia,Β MSC MusicaΒ andΒ MSC SinfoniaΒ from the Italian ports of Venice/Marghera, Monfalcone/Venice and Trieste.
Guests forΒ MSC LiricaβsΒ sailings from the port of Piraeus in Greece can opt for up to two days of βAthens Attractionsβ ahead of their cruise.
Achille Staiano, Vice President β Global Sales, MSC Cruises, said:βUp to two days spent in the magnificent cities of either Venice or Athens will be a fantastic prelude to our guestsβ seven-night cruises in the East Mediterranean and should be especially attractive for those that will fly into Italy and Greece for their summer holiday so that they can really make the most out of their trip.
βSimilarly, when we roll out the βStay & Cruiseβ program later this year in the USA weβll see many more Europeans join our cruise ships to take advantage of having a truly memorable time in Miami and Orlando, plus from summer 2023, New York will prove a strong pull for those who want to explore the Big Apple prior to their cruise.β
MSC Cruises βStay & Cruiseβ packages have been put together in partnership with the lineβs 100 percent owned Italian tour operator, Going.
