MSC Cruises trade incentive for new ship launch
Agents selling MSC Cruises are to be entered into a draw to win a trip to the naming of the Italian line’s latest ship.
The ceremonies surrounding the christening of 3,013-passenger MSC Orchestra take place on May 14-16 with a naming by Sophia Loren in Civitavecchia followed by a cruise to Genoa and back.
The draw for an agent and partner to attend will apply to those making MSC bookings between March 16 and April 15.
The ship’s 10-night inaugural cruise is being offered with prices per person starting at £749 including return scheduled flights. Departing May 16 from Genoa, MSC Orchestra will call in Marseille, Valencia, Lisbon (with an overnight stay), Casablanca, Malaga, Alicante and Barcelona before returning to Genoa.
MSC Orchestra will commence a series of seven-night Eastern Mediterranean cruises from Venice on June 2 until October 27. Prices start at £658.
