MSC Cruises has announced a revised deployment for its Winter 2026/2027 season, shifting a planned Middle East programme to the Caribbean and introducing new itineraries from the French Antilles.
The move will see the ship operate seven- and 14-night sailings from Fort-de-France in Martinique, Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe and Bridgetown in Barbados between November 2026 and April 2027.
Ports of call across the programme will include Castries in Saint Lucia, Saint George’s in Grenada, Philipsburg in St. Maarten, St. John’s in Antigua, Basseterre in St. Kitts and Nevis, Roseau in Dominica and Kingstown in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
The change strengthens MSC Cruises’ presence in the Caribbean during the winter season, offering guests additional options in one of the cruise industry’s most in-demand regions.
The revised deployment also includes a fleet adjustment, with another ship set to operate in South America for the same period. Further details of itineraries in Brazil and Argentina are expected to be announced in due course.
Guests currently booked on the affected sailings are being contacted directly and provided with options, including transferring to an alternative cruise or requesting a full refund.
MSC Cruises confirmed that guests already booked on sailings from the French Antilles will see no changes to their itinerary or departure dates.
The upcoming season will mark the ship’s first deployment in the French Antilles, bringing one of MSC Cruises’ newer ships to the region.
