Cruises MSC Cruises 2024 - 2025

MSC Cruises has partnered with ABP Southampton to open a new cruise terminal for the Summer 2021 season that will become the home port for their sailings out of Southampton. The good news is that this terminal will have environmentally-conscious roof-mounted solar power and Shore Power connectivity. 

MSC Cruises announces its commitment to become the world’s first fully carbon neutral major global cruise line. All of CO2 emissions from MSC Cruises’ fleet to be offset as of 1 January 2020 through high-grade that will increasingly rely on Blue carbon credits. MSC Cruises’ commitment to delivering zero-emissions operations also includes a specific focus on energy efficiency and other aspects of its end-to-end operations beyond emissions. In particular, since 2017 all MSC Cruises new ships come equipped with ship-to-shore power facilities, a feature that would allow cruise ships to immediately go “zero-emissions” in any port that is ready for this technology. And this will provide even greater overall benefit when the ultimate source of shore power is renewable.   MSC Grandiosa and MSC Europa together represent significant additional progress in terms of delivering against MSC Cruises’ objective to minimize and continuously lowering its fleet environmental footprint.

MSC Meraviglia, MSC Seaside, MSC Seaview and the future ships are integrated with MSC for Me technology, where one of the features is to be able to track your child’s exact whereabouts using a wristband via your mobile phone. This lets the children feel more independent, whilst adults can relax knowing that their children are safe.

Designed with the comfort of their guests in mind, offering room service and balconies to most cabins, ensuring the greatest number of spectacular ocean views.

MSC Cruises and Chelsea Football Club jointly announced a new partnership under which MSC Cruises will become the Premier League giant’s official global cruise partner.

MSC Bellissima, MSC's new flag ship, which will be named in Southampton in a star studded ceremony on March 2nd will be the first ship in the fleet to benefit from the partnership where signed Chelsea FC memorabilia will be on display for guests in the British pub on board. In celebration of the partnership, ambassadors from the football club will attend the naming ceremony, as MSC Bellisima becomes the biggest ship ever to launch in the UK.
