MSC Bellissima extending Saudi Arabia deployment
MSC Cruises is extending the deployment of MSC Bellissima in Saudi Arabia and the Red Sea.
It will continue for the winter 2021/2022 season, after a successful inaugural season this summer.
MSC Bellissima has been sailing out of Jeddah since July.
MSC Bellissima will replace MSC Magnifica, which was previously scheduled to serve in the region this winter.
This winter itinerary is the first of its kind for MSC, offering international and local guests opportunities to discover Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan by cruise ship.
From 30 October 2021 MSC Bellissima will offer seven-night cruises from Jeddah, calling at the ports of Ras Al Abyad, Aqaba for Petra in Jordan, Safaga for Luxor in Egypt and then AlWajh and Yanbu, in Saudi Arabia.
MSC Bellissima is one of the newest ships in the MSC Cruises fleet, and first launched in 2019.
