The line announced on Monday (31 July) agents will have plenty of destinations to offer their clients, as the new programme include cruises up to 14 nights onboard the Virtuosa, which comes back to Southampton for the fourth consecutive summer, as well as 10 nights across the Mediterranean. 

The summer schedule also includes trips to Iceland and the Norwegian fjords onboard MSC Preziosa and tours of the eastern Mediterranean onboard MSC Opera and Fantasia.

“We understand our customers’ desire to plan and secure their cruise well in advance, ensuring they get their preferred itinerary and access the best deals with our incredible early booking offers,” said UK and Ireland sales director Steve Williams.

MSC said agents making early bookings will give customers a wide array of benefits, including combinable and targeted discounts as well as ensuring availability on high-demand cabins, including MSC Yacht Club suites. 

“With three summer seasons and two winter seasons on sale, this is the perfect moment for travel agents to secure their customers’ bookings, ensuring they can experience the wonders of MSC Cruises and enhance customer retention,” Williams added. 

The cruise line has its summer 2023 and 2024 schedule currently on sale as well as its autumn 2023 and winter 2023/2024.
