MSC Cruises has added a dozen sailings to its current Arabian Gulf season aboard MSC Bellissima.
It is offering more seven-night cruises calling at Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sir Bani Yas in the United Arab Emirates and Doha in Qatar, from 2 April through to 25 June.
MSC Bellissima will finish her planned Red Sea itineraries homeporting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on 26 March and then move to the Arabian Gulf taking over from MSC Virtuosa from 2 April.
MSC Virtuosa has been successfully sailing in this region since November 2021 and on finishing the winter season, will undertake a Grand Voyage back to Europe to homeport in Southampton, UK for the summer season.
In July, MSC Bellissima will move to the Far East from July on itineraries in Japan and China.
Sales for the additional MSC Bellissima cruises are open.
Gianni Onorato, CEO MSC Cruises said, "We have seen that the itineraries in the UAE and Qatar have been very popular with our guests and to respond to this demand we have decided to extend our presence in the region. We would like to thank the authorities in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha for their close collaboration".
