Why Sail with MSC Cruises on a World Cruise?

As a cruise line dedicated to delivering the most comfortable and convenient experience possible, MSC Cruises makes travelling around the world truly unforgettable. At home in any of their ship’s exceptional suites and cabins, guests can sail between famous ports while dining on speciality cuisines and choosing from curated drinks menus that reflect the international spirit of their voyage.

Sailing around the world means there are also plenty of days at sea to become immersed in everything that MSC has to offer. Large parties and solo travellers alike can lose themselves in the acrobatic brilliance of Carousel at Sea performances, the thrills of the onboard casino, and the soothing treatments of the MSC Aurea Spa.

What Are the Best MSC World Cruise Destinations?

When the world is made accessible by a globe-spanning cruise itinerary, the selection of incredible ports to choose from is endless. Here are some of the top destinations that guests can discover with MSC world cruises:

Mediterranean

Start your international voyage close to home with a delightful journey around the Mediterranean. Experience one wonderful port after another, relaxing on the beaches of Mallorca before heading for the ancient sites of Naples, Italy, and the stunning harbour views of Marseille, France. Dine on cultured cuisines and discover the world’s best wines!

North America

Across the Atlantic Ocean, North America enriches any MSC world cruise itinerary with its diversity and scale. Walk through the dense cityscape of New York, discovering iconic landmarks and delicious food stops, before making your way to the opposite coast, where Los Angeles promises Hollywood chic and Californian sunshine.

South America

Below the equator, MSC world cruises introduce guests to the exotic landscapes and rich cultural hotspots of South America. Staple stops include Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, but guests can also look forward to lesser-known delights, such as the whale-watching experiences of Puerto Madryn, Argentina, and the colourful architecture of Valparaíso, Chile.

Pacific Islands

The freedom afforded by world cruises allows itineraries to venture to shores both remote and beautiful, and nowhere captures that idea better than the Pacific Islands. Gaze up at the mountain peaks of Moorea, French Polynesia, and snorkel over vibrant coral reefs in Pago Pago, Samoa. Here, white beaches and gorgeous weather are just the beginning!

Australasia

Exotic wildlife meets the energy of modern cityscapes across Australasia. Australia is sure to impress with the incredible views from Sydney Harbour and the challenge of scaling Tasmania’s Mount Wellington, and New Zealand’s hiking trails and wildlife reserves unlock the beauty of its two islands for all to enjoy.
