The line announced on Wednesday (2 August) confirmed it will offer a 21-night cruise from Southampton to the Canaries, Madeira and Morocco on 5 January 2025.

The company will also deploy MSC Preziosa on a seven-night tour of Northern Europe, going from Hamburg to Bruges and Brussels, Rotterdam and Le Havre, while also calling in Southampton. 

“Offering an array of incredible itineraries across various destinations, the line continues to provide unforgettable experiences for curious travellers,” the line said in a statement.

As part of the winter schedule, the company will deploy six ships in North America and the Caribbean, and one each in the Arabia, Mediterranean and Red seas.

The announcement comes on the heels of MSC launching its summer 2025 programme six months in advance.

The schedule includes up to 14 nights onboard Virtuosa, which comes back to the UK for the fourth consecutive summer, and 10 nights across the Mediterranean.
