From July 9, MSC Bellissima will offer seven-night sailings from Valencia to Barcelona/Tarragona, Genoa, Livorno and Naples before returning to Valencia with embarkation available at all ports. The itinerary has been designed with longer stays in port in Valencia - to enable guests to visit Madrid - as well as in Barcelona/Tarragona and Genoa.
‘MSC Cruises offers the most embarkation ports across the Mediterranean so that one or more is easily within reach by train, car as well as by flight from key capitals and other cities from across the globe,’ explained Gianni Onorato, CEO, MSC Cruises.
‘...As holidaymakers are now planning their summer holidays, we are extremely pleased to see that our continued and present investments in the experience on board – including improved dining, additional entertainment options as well as extra staff to look after every need of our guests even during the busy summer season – is paying off with high ratings from recurring and new guests.
‘This led us to position one additional ship in the Mediterranean – a popular destination - to give our guests even more choice of ships and itineraries.’
Bookings open in the coming days.
