What's new?

2008 and 2009 saw MSC Cruises christen the two largest ships ever built by a European ship-owner: MSC Fantasia and MSC Splendida, with each ship offering exclusivity and privacy with MSC Yacht Club. For 2010, the new North America itineraries offer stunning cruises covering New England, Canada and New York City.

A family-owned and operated Italian cruise line, MSC Cruises' international ambience envelops you from the moment you step on board. Traditional Italian hospitality, warm contemporary furnishings and authentic international and Mediterranean cuisine will ensure you enjoy la dolce vita when you cruise with the most modern fleet in the world, MSC Cruises. While the Mediterranean is our home, today MSC Cruises offers a number of other cruising options. Enjoy the dramatic architecture and exquisite scenery of Northern Europe, take in the exotic vibe of South America or the Caribbean, delight in our new destination, North America and marvel at the exotic wildlife of South Africa. Those seeking extended cruising pleasure can celebrate relaxing days at sea and exciting ports of call on our spectacular Ocean Voyages. MSC Cruises offers an extensive range of activities, entertainment and facilities, allowing you to rejuvenate body and mind while you cruise. Our strong commitment to families and cross-generation cruising shows in our 'children under 18 years cruise free' policy, meaning children and teens sharing with two paying adults pay port charges only. Variety, style and value make MSC Cruises the right choice.
