MSC Cruises updates 2027/2028 itineraries and wellness offerings
MSC Cruises has announced a restructuring of its winter 2027/2028 schedule, shifting its focus toward the Western Mediterranean and the Southern Caribbean. As part of this adjustment, the MSC World Europa will remain in Europe to conduct seven-night itineraries through Western Mediterranean destinations, including Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia, Messina, and Valletta.
In a reciprocal move, the MSC World Asia will transition to the Southern Caribbean, operating 7 and 14-night cruises departing from Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Barbados. The ship will visit various islands, including Saint Lucia, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The MSC World Asia is also being highlighted for its enhanced wellness offerings. Starting December 4, 2026, the vessel will feature the 1,260 square meter MSC Aurea Spa. This facility will include advanced technologies such as AI-driven skin and scalp analysis, 3D foot scanning, and various thermal experiences like a panoramic sauna, snow rooms, and Himalayan salt rooms.
Additionally, the MSC Yacht Club continues to offer exclusive 'ship-within-a-ship' services, including private pools, butler service, and specialized spa benefits for bookings made through September 2026.
