MSC year-round from NY

MSC Cruises will operate yearround sailings from New York City for the first time, with MSC Meraviglia to home port from the United States’ most populous city from Apr for cruises to New England, Canada, Bermuda, and the Caribbean.

Meraviglia will offer a wide variety of itineraries ranging from six to 11 nights, including Caribbean itineraries of either seven or eight nights, featuring calls in Nassau and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line’s private island destination in The Bahamas.

There are also Bermuda itineraries lasting six nights and offering three days docked at King’s Wharf, combined with several relaxing days at sea; and Northern America itineraries of either 10 or 11 nights, featuring calls at Boston, Portland, Charlottetown, Halifax, Sydney, St John, and Newport.

The deployment is set to enhance MSC’s presence in the market, and will give guests the opportunity to extend their holiday with a stay in New York either before or after their cruise, with stay-and-cruise packages also available.

“New York is one of the most incredible and vibrant destinations in the world,” Commercial Director Lisa Teiotu proclaimed.

“The itineraries will have a very strong appeal for our market, given the range of flights to and from New York.

“Our mix of itineraries mean guests can soak up the sun in the Caribbean during the spring and winter seasons, head to Bermuda during summer or go north to see the stunning autumn colours of Canada”.

MEANWHILE, MSC’s 2023-2024 brochure is out now, featuring more than 140 destinations in more than 40 countries.

Covering Apr 2023 to Apr 2024, the brochure details the Norwegian fjords and Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Red Sea.
