🚢 BIG CHANGES COMING TO MSC FOR WINTER 2027–2028!
MSC Cruises is making some significant changes to its Winter 2027–2028 lineup, including moving one of its newest ships to the Caribbean!
MSC World Asia will head to the Southern Caribbean, offering 7- and 14-night cruises. Guests will be able to embark in Martinique, Guadeloupe, or Barbados, with itineraries visiting destinations such as:
🌴 St. Lucia
🌴 Grenada
🌴 St. Maarten
🌴 Antigua
🌴 St. Kitts
🌴 Dominica
🌴 St. Vincent
This is a pretty exciting addition for Caribbean cruising. MSC World Asia is one of MSC’s newest World Class ships and will feature attractions including the Cliffhanger over-water swing, extensive outdoor spaces, family activities, entertainment, and MSC’s largest Venchi chocolate experience at sea.
Meanwhile, MSC World Europa will remain in the Western Mediterranean instead of moving to the Middle East as previously planned. It will offer 7-night cruises visiting destinations including Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Rome (Civitavecchia), Messina, and Valletta.
⚠️ Already booked?
Guests booked on affected MSC World Asia, MSC Meraviglia, or MSC World Europa sailings will be contacted by MSC or their travel advisor regarding changes. Guests affected by the canceled World Europa Middle East deployment will have options that include transferring to another sailing or receiving a full refund.
Overall, this means more World Class capacity in the Caribbean for Winter 2027–2028, and MSC World Asia sailing the Southern Caribbean definitely has our attention!
