MSC offers free drinks package in turn-of-year sale
MSC Cruises is giving passengers its ‘Allegrissimo’ drinks package for free in its turn-of-year sale.
Running from December 15 until February 29, the offer applies to ‘virtually all’ summer 2016 and winter 2016/17 itineraries and is valid on both fly-cruise and cruise-only holidays.
The ‘Allegrissimo’ package is normally priced at £22 per person per night (children £10 per night), which means the offer is worth £448 to a family of four on a typical seven-night sailing.
As well as giving away free drinks to guests, the cruise line is offering agents the chance to sample an MSC cruise by winning one of 50 places on a mega-fam next April.
MSC Cruises executive director UK and Ireland Giles Hawke said: "We’ve dubbed our Wave campaign ‘The Best All-Inclusive at Sea’ because we are confident our standard ‘Allegrissimo’ package beats rival offerings hands down.
"By giving it free to all guests we are underlining our reputation for great value – and are certain it will win us even more fans.
"We want agents to compare it to other lines. We don’t mess around with non-branded drinks and have silly restrictions. Guests get the very best products all the time."
The mega-fam will be a seven-night Western Med sailing from Genoa on MSC Preziosa departing April 23, with all-inclusive drinks included.
To enter agents should send details of Wave period bookings to [email protected] and include their name, agency details and booking number.
Fam places will be drawn from entries each week. Multiple entries are permitted.
