MSC Cruises launches more than 90 new cruises for MSC Yacht Club guests
MSC Cruises announced yesterday that for the first time ever, guests travelling on its MSC Yacht Club ships will have the opportunity to choose from a carefully curated selection of exclusive cruises in more than 90 ports of call across the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Caribbean. On these excursions, sailors can discover new places, new cultures and new people, fully immersing themselves in the destinations they visit.
Available on most ships in the MSC Cruises fleet (except Lirica and Musica), the MSC Yacht Club offers guests a secluded retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the ship's main areas, yet close to everything important, allowing guests to enjoy a myriad of attractions and entertainment options on all decks.
The MSC Yacht Club concept is now the basis for more than 90 specially designed shore excursions in various ports in the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Northern Europe, with more to come throughout the year. These trips are designed to provide greater exclusivity and convenience - only small groups participate, allowing guests to explore destinations in greater depth. Guests on MSC Yacht Club trips will also enjoy priority disembarkation and private transportation to and from their destination, adding to the sense of relaxation and attention to detail.
Guests on exclusive MSC Yacht Club excursions can try their hand at making their own cologne in one of the oldest perfumeries in the South of France, indulge in authentic Greek cuisine aboard a private catamaran in Santorini, or relax in a remote cabana in tropical Jamaica, and much more. Experiences fall into several categories to suit all guests' tastes, ranging from authentic culinary experiences to exploring local arts and crafts, visiting architectural gems or engaging in unique adventure activities.
Marialuisa Iaccarino, Head of Optional Excursions at MSC Cruises, said, "The new offer was created based on customer feedback and the desire for a more exclusive experience for MSC Yacht Club guests. Guests will benefit from a seamless blend of onboard butler service and expert shore excursions, as well as the opportunity to relax and fully immerse themselves in the culture, cuisine and traditions of each destination."
MSC Yacht Club guests can now book trips in advance through Riviera Tour (quick contact here).
Among the 90+ new MSC Yacht Club shore excursions are:
Cannes, France: perfume making workshop
Genoa, Italy: pesto making course
Akureyri, Iceland: geothermal spa and national park visit
Invergordon, Scotland: Whiskey tasting at Glenmorangie Distillery
Cozumel, Mexico: luxury catamaran and snorkeling experience
Falmouth, Jamaica: cabana in a wooded area on the Martha Brae River
MSC Yacht Club is MSC Cruises' concept of a "ship within a ship". It offers its guests greater privacy and exclusivity with elegant suites in the forward areas of the ship, which are accessible only with an MSC Yacht Club Ship Card. Here they will find the greatest luxury available in a relaxed and elegant European atmosphere. On MSC Cruises ships, they enjoy their own private sun deck with pool, restaurant and salon with spectacular views of the bow of the ship, as well as personal services such as 24-hour butler service and reception.
