MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises may be headquartered in Switzerland, but the ambience onboard its 23 ships is very much Italian owing to its owners, the Aponte family.

Ships feature a two-storey Mediterranean-style promenade and Instagram-worthy glass staircases filled with Swarovski crystals.

The line’s flagship is the 6,327 passenger MSC Euribia, which is MSC's second ship to run on liquefied natural gas.

Cruise Itinerary

Day 1

Shanghai

Shanghai's humid subtropical climate ushers in hot summers and cool winters, a perfect metaphor for the city itself: a place of contrasts where tradition meets cutting-edge modernity. This bustling metropolis offers an authentic Chinese urban experience, blending art deco architecture with futuristic skyscrapers like the Shanghai Tower. It's a city that never sleeps, yet you can find tranquility in the classical Yu Garden or the quietude of ancient Longhua Temple. A quip that sums up Shanghai? Its where every alleyway tells a story, and every skyscraper imagines the future.

At sea

Day 4

Tokyo

Tokyo, a city that masterfully blends the ultramodern with the traditional, offers a vibrant urban tapestry that is a treasure trove for explorers and cultural enthusiasts alike. Known for its dynamic climate with distinct seasonal changes, Tokyo provides a unique backdrop for the cherry blossoms of spring and the fiery leaves of autumn. This city goes beyond the neon lights and skyscrapers; its a place where ancient temples stand in the shadows of towering buildings, offering a true slice of Japanese life. Fun fact: Tokyo's Sumida River hosts one of the oldest and most spectacular fireworks festivals in Japan.

Making memories

Took my wonderful elderly parents on this 5 night cruise , knowing this would probably be our last holiday together. Having to use wheelchairs/ walking aids and managing the effects of memory loss meant that a cruise on board a beautiful ship was the best choice to make some lovely memories. Watching my dad's face during the theatre shows and watching him tuck into what seemed like a mountain of his favourite food in the buffets made us all smile. The practicality of always having bathrooms at hand and having designated areas in theatres for those with mobility difficulties made it all very easy. We all loved the opulence of the ship, and enjoyed sitting at different bars listening to music. We also watched a stunning sunset from the sky bar one evening as we left Rotterdam. Wonderful memories which I will always treasure x

Not my cup of tea !

I’m sure loads of people love this ship , I went with 5 girlfriends for our yearly short break ! It’s glitzy It’s big , very big! and was also very busy. The various standard entertainment areas not very big and not enough seating anywhere. Cabins were fine Staff were kept constantly busy . Food was not great - not enough menus to go around Veggie options in main dining room were poor. Buffet was total mayhem . The cleaning staff tried their best. We used the spa facilities, they were fine . The last night we were at the very small disco . Full glasses were taken on the dance floor. Spills and the inevitable broken glass! The DJ simply said if you are dancing bare foot be careful as there is broken glass on the floor.! No please clear the floor as we need to clean . Seemingly no health and safety. We left ! On the plus side disembarkation the following morning was really easy and speedy. Hooray! We had fun, we are not old stuffy grannies but all agreed not to use such a big ship for what appeared to be a short booze cruise again!

Amazing in every way

My most recent cruise was on MSC Virtuosa, this ship is amazing in every way. From the minute you board you are enveloped in the most stylish Italian luxury, the Swarovski staircases are absolutely stunning and every corner of the ship has been lovingly thought out. But, what makes this ship even more special to sail on is it's friendly, professional crew members who go out of their way to make your cruise experience one to remember.
