YEAR 2007-08

Year-round voyages to beautiful Mediterranean destinations

Following MSC Orchestra's maiden ten-day voyage from Genoa, she is positioned all summer season in Venice.

She will leave from Venice every Saturday and on Sundays from Bari from June 2 until October 27 on a series of seven-night cruises.

Leaving from Venice, MSC Orchestra will call into Katacolon, where passengers can visit the archaeological site of Olympia or relax on the beautiful beaches, then Izmir, Istanbul, Dubrovnik in Croatia for a nice walk on the famous 'stradun' and back to Venice and Bari again.

Autumn 07 and Winter 07/08

MSC Cruises is one of the few cruise operators to offer Mediterranean itineraries to the UK market on a year-round basis.
For the autumn and winter MSC Orchestra will, together with MSC Musica, operate in the Mediterranean.
Starting from 14 November, the new flagship will operate two 11-day itineraries alternately around some of the most beautiful Mediterranean destinations.
The first cruise, which sails from Genoa on 14 November (plus sailings on 6 December, 19 January, 10 February and 3 March), visits Olympia, Piraeus, Rhodes, Alexandra, Limassol, Marmaris, Heraklion and Naples, returns to Genoa on 12 November. She then departs on 13 November (plus sailings on 8 January, 1 and 21 February) for Barcelona, Casablanca, Tenerife, Funchal, Malaga and Rome, returning to Genoa on 6 December.
Prices start from £699 per person based on twin share and inclusive of return flights from Gatwick, port taxes and transfers. Children (under 18 years) travel free of charge when sharing with two adults, paying only for flights, transfers and port dues.

Christmas and New Year

In addition to the above sailings, MSC Orchestra will also be operating a special 11-night Christmas cruise - departing Genoa on 17 December for Barcelona, Casablanca, Tenerife, Funchal, Malaga and Rome - with prices from £849 per person, plus an 11-night New Year cruise starting 28 December to Olympia, Piraeus, Rhodes, Alexandra, Limassol, Marmaris, Heraklion and Naples from £1,279 per person.
Prices are inclusive of return flights from Gatwick, port taxes and transfers. Children (under 18 years) travel free of charge when sharing with two adults, paying only for flights, transfers and port dues.

Summer 2008

From April 2008, MSC Orchestra will be positioned in Barcelona - with its ideal flight connections from the UK - and will operate seven-night cruises to Sicily, Tunisia, the Balearics, Spain and France.
Sailings are on Fridays and MSC Cruises is offering clients the opportunity to extend their holiday with a pre- or post-cruise city break in Barcelona.
Price for the seven-night cruise starts at just £479 per person (based on twin share); return flights from the UK to Barcelona will be available from £199 per person. Children (under 18 years) travel free of charge when sharing with two adults, paying only for flights, transfers and port dues.
