Monday, 24 August 20153 min read

MSC Cruises will make its first sailing to China next year.

The newly-renovated MSC Lirica will call in Shanghai on May 1 as part of a 60-day round-the-world Grand Voyage via Europe departing on March 3 from Rio de Janeiro.

Three different versions of the Grand Voyage, with Shanghai as final destination, are now on sale.

Cruisers will have the opportunity to depart from Rio de Janeiro, Genoa or Dubai.

Earlier this month MSC Cruises announced that, as of December 2015, it will be the first global cruise line to offer travellers the opportunity to visit Cuba and set sail on one of the 16 cruises that MSC Opera will operate from Havana.
