The vessel will homeport in Valencia, operating weekly sailings in the West Mediterranean from the MedCruise member port. 

MSC Orchestra's full winter program in the Red Sea was canceled due to the proximity of some ports to Israel and restrictions in bordering countries that the line said would have adversely affected the experience for passengers.

MSC Orchestra will offer seven-night voyages round-trip from Valencia between December 16 and April 19, calling Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy; Civitavecchia (Rome); Livorno for Pisa and Florence; Marseille, France; and Palma, Mallorca, Spain.
