MSC Cruises

The MSC experience consists of hospitality, delicious dining and innovative exterior and interior design. The rapidly expanding cruise line now has 23 ships in the fleet that sail year-round in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean as well as seasonally in Northern Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, South America, South Africa and Middle East.

On board you'll get a taste of the Mediterranean way of life. During a sailing, guests are encouraged to slow down and enjoy the options your MSC vacation has to offer. We love the gourmet dining experiences on board (especially the fresh pasta), which combines the best of Mediterranean and international cuisine.

MSC Cruises was born in the Mediterranean and continues to draw inspiration from its roots, with the company’s distinctly Mediterranean way of life creating a distinctive experience for travelers around the world.

For travelers seeking high levels of service and comfort, MSC Cruises continues to set new standards in upscale cruising. Groundbreaking initiatives include the MSC AureaSpa, a lavish Balinese wellness center and the MSC Yacht Club, an exclusive ship-within-a-ship concept with concierge services, elegant suites, butler service, a private lounge and sundeck. MSC places a high priority on entertainment, and there are plenty of activities to do all day and night. Or, you can just hang out at one of the comfortable lounges sipping a cappuccino or enjoying a slice of pizza or cup of gelato.

Be aware that dinners served in the main dining rooms have assigned seating and set dining times.

Family cruises on MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises offers innovative itineraries, great family deals and some luxury perks. Kids 12 and under sail free on select sailings when traveling as the third and/or fourth guests in a stateroom with two adults, and they receive discounts on shore excursions as well. 

Passenger makeup

While MSC ships sailing out of Miami attract chiefly Americans and Canadians, the other MSC ships typically have a largely European complexion. Couples and families make up the majority of travelers. During school breaks, the line's “kids sail free” specials attract lots of families new to cruising. Longer voyages attract more seasoned cruisers.

Where MSC ships sail

MSC ships sail the seas around Europe, the Caribbean, South America and beyond. You'll find the line's elegant vessels in ports such as Marseille, Copenhagen, Stockholm and St. Petersburg. See each ship below for its upcoming itineraries.
