This will be the first time the line has continuously operated one of its vessels from the UK year-round.
Virtuosa – which launched in 2021 and became the first ship to restart UK cruises in May of the same year – will now replace MSC Preziosa’s itineraries this winter offering the newly introduced Northern Pearls itinerary.
Antonio Paradiso, managing director UK and Ireland of MSC Cruises, said since Virtuosa first came to the UK, the feedback from the company’s guests has been "incredible" and the ship has been a "huge hit".
