Enhance Your Cruise Experience with MSC's New Summer 2024 Stay & Cruise Program

MSC Cruises has unveiled an exciting addition to its summer 2024 offerings with the introduction of the 'Stay & Cruise' program, designed to enrich the vacation experience of its guests. On select MSC Cruises' sailings, travelers can now extend their seven-night voyage to include a two or three-night stay in some of the world's most enchanting cities, including Athens, Venice, Rome, Miami, and New York. This innovative program allows cruise passengers to delve deeper into the culture and beauty of these destinations, making their holiday even more memorable.

Participating in the 'Stay & Cruise' program gives guests the flexibility to start or conclude their cruise with an additional two-night stay in a four-star hotel in Athens, Venice, or Rome, or a three-star hotel in Miami. For those setting sail or docking in New York, a luxury option of a two or three-night stay at a four-star hotel is available. Each package is elegantly tailored to enhance the journey, including breakfast, a half-day city tour to explore the top attractions, and private ground transfers for a seamless travel experience.

The curated city excursions are part of what makes the 'Stay & Cruise' program standout. For example, guests in Rome can explore the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica with skip-the-line access, ensuring an intimate encounter with some of the city's most sacred art. Venice travelers will enjoy a heartfelt walking tour around iconic sights like San Marco and the Rialto Bridge, culminating in a panoramic boat transfer that showcases the city from its fabled waterways. In Athens, the program includes a guided tour of historical sites such as the Acropolis, enriching guests' understanding of Greek heritage.

Meanwhile, participants opting for a pre-cruise stay in Miami or New York will not be disappointed with the array of sights and experiences lined up. Miami's tour covers the Art Deco district of South Beach and vibrant neighborhoods like Little Havana, revealing the city's cultural diversity and picturesque beauty. The New York experience takes guests through some of the city's most iconic landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, and a view of the Statue of Liberty from Battery Park, all culminating at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.

The 'Stay & Cruise' program reflects MSC Cruises' commitment to offering immersive travel experiences, combining the relaxation of cruising with the thrill of urban exploration. Available through MSC Cruises Contact Centre or travel agents, this program represents a significant enhancement to the traditional cruise holiday, inviting guests to extend their adventures on land with the same level of comfort and convenience they enjoy at sea.
