Sarah Bretz, ContributorMSC Cruises has announced that for the first time, guests traveling in the MSC Yacht Club will have the opportunity to book a selection of shore excursions curated just for them.
Available on many MSC Cruises ships, the MSC Yacht Club offers its guests a secluded retreat while also allowing them to enjoy the facilities and entertainment throughout the rest of the ship. They have their own sundeck and pool, restaurant, lounge, and personalized service including a 24-hour butler and concierge desk.
The new exclusive shore excursions will be in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and northern Europe, with more to come in additional regions later this year. The excursions run with only small groups, enabling travelers to explore destinations more intimately.
From the Yacht Club, guests will have priority disembarkation and then move into private transportation for extra comfort during travel. The excursions fall into a number of categories to suit all tastes, ranging from authentic culinary experiences and learning about local artistry to visiting architectural treasures and getting involved in upscale adventure activities.
Highlights of these new excursions include:
- Cannes, France: Enjoy a sensory experience and exclusive perfume-making workshop
- Genoa, Italy: Immerse yourself in an authentic pesto cooking class in Santa Margherita Ligure
- Akureyri, Iceland: Be invigorated at the Fontana geothermal baths in Iceland
- Invergordon, Scotland: Try world-famous whiskey at Glenmorangie Distillery in Scotland
- Cozumel, Mexico: Enjoy a luxurious catamaran and snorkeling experience in Cozumel
- Falmouth, Jamaica: Enjoy a plush cabana in the forested grounds near the Martha Brae River
The excursions are now open for booking for MSC Yacht Club guests in advance online, through the MSC Cruises contact center or through guests’ travel agents. They can also be booked once on board through the MSC For Me app (where available) as well as the shore excursions desk or MSC Yacht Club concierge service.
