MSC Cruises opens sales for 2025 round-the-world cruise

MSC Cruises opens sales for MSC World Cruise 2025. The round-the-world cruise arrives with a completely new itinerary, aboard MSC Magnifica. Travellers will be able to embark on this once-in-a-lifetime voyage from four European ports: Civitavecchia (Rome), Genoa, Marseille and Barcelona on 4, 5, 6 and 7 January 2025 respectively.

The 116-night voyage around the world will visit 50 destinations in 21 different countries, with seven overnight stays and 22 destinations that have never before appeared on MSC World Cruise’s itinerary. One of the differential points of the 2025 edition is the possibility of discovering Australasia with 19 days of sailing along the South and West coast of Australia. This new itinerary will take cruise passengers to five continents, cross three of the largest oceans in the world and sail more than 30,000 nautical miles, where they can enjoy different cosmopolitan cities, historical places and expand horizons with new flavors, traditions, cultures and communities.
