MSC Cruises cancels winter Red Sea cruises
MSC Cruises is scrapping its full winter schedule of Red Sea cruises.
It cancelled the November to April season of MSC Orchestra in the region.
The line says the proximity of some ports to Israel was a factor, as well as restrictions in bordering countries, which would impact the guest experience.
In addition, travel advisories have been issued for neighbouring countries.
It hasn’t yet said where MSC Orchestra will be redeployed.
MSC also shared itinerary changes for other ships.
The grand voyages for MSC Virtuosa, MSC Opera and MSC Splendid have been revised.
The winter season of Red Sea cruises on MSC Sinfonia, which included Haifa were also confirmed cancelled.
MSC will give booked passengers the option to rebook to a new sailing or receive a full refund.
