About MSC Cruises
MSC Cruises is the world’s largest privately-owned cruise line and a market leader in Europe and South America. Their fleet of modern, ocean-cruising ships sail year-round in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and seasonal itineraries are offered in Northern Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, South America, southern Africa, China, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and India. The founders of MSC Cruises came from a long line of seafarers—the Aponte family from Sorrento Italy, with over 300 years of ship-owning experience. When they launched as a passenger cruise line in 1988, a full history of seafaring experience came across to what we now know as MSC Cruises.
MSC Cruises reflect the elegant side of the Mediterranean, with their passion for the sea translating into a commitment to excellence in hospitality, professionalism and dedication. The MSC Cruises crew ensure the complete happiness and satisfaction of each and every guest. They provide affordable, value-packed cruise holidays that the whole family can enjoy, with children under 18 years old often cruising for free. The atmosphere on an MSC Cruises ship is relaxed yet elegant.
