MSC Cruises to start Baltic Sea sailings in July
MSC Cruises plans to restart sailing from Germany from early July.
Staring on 3 July, it will deploy its first Seaside class ship I the Baltic Sea.
MSC Seaview offers a brand new itinerary for the region on seven-night voyages.
The ship will homeport in Kiel until September and sail to Visby on Sweden’s largest island of Gotland, the port of Nynashamn for excursions to Stockholm, and Estonia’s capital Tallinn.
Cruises on MSC Seaview are available for guests of all ages from the Schengen zone in Europe, as well as residents of Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria.
Gianni Onorato, CEO, MSC Cruises, said: "We are looking forward to the resumption of our cruises from Germany, an incredibly important market for us."
"Visiting destinations and going ashore is an integral aspect of a cruise holiday and it is now possible with our Baltic Sea cruises from Germany thanks to the general relaxation of health measures locally, as well as much of Europe."
MSC Cruises will closely monitor the situation ashore at all the destinations MSC Seaview will call and the itinerary may see the possible addition of new ports.
MSC Grandiosa and MSC Seaside are currently sailing in the West Mediterranean and will be joined in August by MSC Seashore for her maiden season.
New ship MSC Virtuosa is set to begin a maiden season later this week with voyages around the UK.
Three more ships- MSC Orchestra, MSC Splendida and MSC Magnifica – will soon begin cruises in the East Mediterranean.
