MSC gears up for Grandiosa welcome

MSC Cruises has announced the maiden voyage for MSC Grandiosa will go on sale to the public from 22 Oct.

The cruise line’s newest flagship is scheduled to depart on her first adventure from Hamburg, Germany on 10 Nov next year, before cruising through the Mediterranean to Genoa, Italy and Marseille, France.

Following her inaugural sailing, Grandiosa will be based in Genoa where she will offer seven-night cruises of the Mediterranean from 23 Nov, making overnight stops at ports in Rome, Palermo, Valletta, Barcelona and Marseille.

Attractions available on board will include a choice of 12 different dining venues, an authentic Balinese Spa, the DOREMI Studio Lounge offering family activities, a pool deck, and 24-hour butler service.

Outside of facilities, the ship will also be home to two new shows from Cirque du Soleil at Sea which were created exclusively for MSC Cruises passengers.

The vessel is currently under construction at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, and when completed she will be the first of two Meraviglia-Plus class ships to come into service in Nov 2019, boasting the largest size and most features in the fleet.

Prior to going on sale to the public, an exclusive two-week pre-sale period is now available to MSC Voyagers Club members through to 21 Oct.
