Another cruise operator is pulling out of Turkey due to security concerns. MSC Cruises said it is suspending calls until further notice.

This impacts MSC Magnifica's Venice-based sailings from March 26.

The weekly calls at Istanbul and Izmir from March 29 will be replaced by destinations in Greece: Piraeus (for Athens) and the island of Mykonos.
