Sales open for MSC Bellissima inaugural Med season
Bookings opened for MSC Bellissima, the second of MSC Cruises' Meraviglia-class ships. Beginning in March 2019, MSC Bellissima will cruise the western Mediterranean for its inaugural season.

MSC Voyagers Club members get the first crack at bookings before general sales open May 15.

A highlight of MSC Bellissima’s entertainment will be two Cirque du Soleil at Sea shows and pre-show dinner six nights per week in the purpose-built Carousel Lounge.

The Cirque experience will debut on MSC Meraviglia this June.

As an early booking incentive, passengers who book MSC Bellissima by July 31, 2017, will receive a free Cirque du Soleil at Sea dinner and show,

'When it comes to the Meraviglia generation of ships, we are particularly proud of our unique partnership with Cirque du Soleil, which is creating a total of eight original shows for all four ships,' MSC Cruises ceo Gianni Onorato said. MSC Bellissima will feature two new shows.

The ship's seven-night itinerary offers six ports: Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Naples, Messina in Sicily and Valetta in Malta.

When booking MSC Bellissima, MSC Voyagers Club members will also receive a special 5% discount in addition to their early booking discount. All other travelers will get a 5% discount on early booking fares until Oct. 31, 2017.

MSC Bellissima's maiden voyage from Genoa will sail March 24, 2019. Prices start at $1,199 per person for a balcony stateroom.
