MSC Cruises will do more than 500 scales in Spain in 2023

MSC Cruises continues to increase its presence in Spanish ports, with an increase of 23% compared to 2022.

MSC Cruises foresees a good year, thanks to a wide range of itineraries and ships that adapt to all types of travelers. In 2023, MSC Cruises will do more than 500 scales in Spain, with 384 during the summer season on itineraries operated by more than 20 ships passing through 140 destinations and 40 countries. Some of the most significant ports in which they will call are Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Malaga, Cádiz or Tarragona.

In the words of Fernando Pacheco, Managing Director of MSC Cruises in Spain,

To achieve this, collaboration with port and local authorities has been essential. We have also developed an air connection plan to bring other destinations closer to our passengers.”

Innovation and sustainability on board MSC World Europe

MSC World Europa returns to the Mediterranean Sea to settle in Barcelona, from where it will embark in summer 2023 on an itinerary that will have stops in Marseille, France; Genoa, Naples and Messina, Italy; and Valletta, Malta. MSC World Europe is presented as one of the world’s largest LNG-powered cruise ships (with 22 decks, 2,626 cabins, 47 meters wide and more than 40,000 m2 of public space) and is one of the first to integrate fuel cell technology, becoming an example of energy efficiency and emission reduction.

Another milestone for MSC Cruises is the inauguration of MSC Euribia, one of the most modern ships in terms of fuel consumption that will be inaugurated in 2023, as it will be powered by liquefied natural gas, thus reducing the emission of greenhouse gases by up to 20% compared to other ships.

Known as one of Northern Europe’s most modern capitals and UNESCO Architecture Capital of the World in 2023, Copenhagen is the perfect place for MSC Euribia to drop anchor for the first time in June this year. Upon opening, the ship will spend her inaugural season in Northern Europe, making seven-night itineraries to the Norwegian Fjords with calls including the German port of Kiel; Hellesylt, in Norway, where you can visit the Geirangerfjord; as well as Alesund and Flam, also in Norway, among other destinations.

An unforgettable holiday experience.

MSC Cruises works to offer guests the best experience from the moment of booking. For this summer, the company incorporates direct flights from Valencia and Malaga for cruises in Northern Europe and Eastern Mediterranean, which will join the existing offer from the airports of Madrid and Barcelona, and with which it will take more than 60,000 Spaniards to enjoy other itineraries, in the most comfortable way. The included flight service allows cruise passengers to choose itineraries that start far away with a more affordable price including transfers from the airport to the port.

In addition, with the “Stay & Cruise” experience, on some featured itineraries, passengers will be able to enjoy up to three nights of accommodation in a 4-star hotel before embarking on their cruise, excursions, and transfers, giving them the opportunity to make the most of their vacation, both on land and at sea. During the summer of 2023, this experience will be available from Madrid and Barcelona to destinations as exciting as New York and Miami. These travel packages can be booked directly or through a travel agent.
