MSC Cruises offers ex-UK cruises to tempt British customers
MSC Cruises is returning with a limited number of ex-UK cruises in a bid to showcase its new 2016/17 programme to British customers.
MSC Splendida, one of MSC’s largest Fantasia-class ships, will operate six sailings from Southampton, including a round-Britain itinerary and a continental coast cruise.
The cruise line has also created a ‘cruise only’ package in response to feedback so that customers can make their own arrangements or agents can package for them.
MSC Cruises executive director UK and Ireland Giles Hawke said: "This 2016/17 brochure will be the last before the arrival of two spectacular new-builds in 2017, so it is vital we maximise the impact we make – and that means showcasing our inventory to UK guests.
"We have also responded to feedback by making cruise-only an attractive option for those who wish to make their own arrangements or for agents who want to create their own packages."
