MSC Virtuosa back in Southampton next summer
MSC Virtuosa will return to Southampton next summer.
Virtuosa will offers a range of destinations from two night mini cruises taking in St Peter Port, to 12 nights exploring the Baltics.
The biggest ever season sailing from Southampton will be the ship’s second, following a successful inaugural season sailing round the British Isles.
It was an easy decision to return to Southampton for a second year due to the high demand in 2021.
“We had such an amazing response to sailing MSC Virtuosa from Southampton this summer that we couldn’t turn down the opportunity to bring this popular ship back to UK shores, but this time with a variety of new and exciting itineraries,” said Antonio Paradiso, Managing Director MSC Cruises UK & Ireland.
“Despite the challenges of 2021 we had a record breaking year with passengers sailing from Southampton and it was great to see so many new to cruise guests amongst them.”
The popularity of the summer 2021 season and existing booking trends for 2022 has driven the decision to place a ship in Southampton year round in 2022.
MSC Virtuosa is now confirmed for summer 2022 with the exact ship sailing in winter 2022/2023 from Southampton to be announced later this year.
It comes as MSC confirms the entire fleet of 19 ships will be sailing during summer 2022 – with almost 500 departures to choose from in destinations from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean.
