The option allows guests the chance to extend their holidays before or after their seven-night cruise with an additional two nights bed and breakfast accommodation at a 4* hotel in Athens, Venice and Rome, or a 3* facility in Miami, and there's also an option to spend two or three nights at a 4* New York hotel.
The package will include a half-day city excursion, private ground transfers including from the airport to the hotel and the hotel to the ship for those staying before their cruise, and the reverse journey for those staying on afterwards.
Antonio Paradiso, Vice President of International Sales for MSC Group’s Cruise Division and Managing Director for the UK + Ireland said: “At MSC Cruises, we listen to what our guests want and evolve our product offering based on their feedback. We know that they enjoy the flexibility of tailoring their perfect holidays as well as exploring new destinations.
"This is why we have introduced our new Stay and Cruise programme so that guests can spend extra time enjoying some incredible destinations before joining, or after departing, an MSC Cruise.”
The offer is available on various MSC Cruises Summer 2024 sailings in the Mediterranean and Caribbean and is currently available to book through MSC Cruises Contact Centre or through travel agents.
The option for an add-on package for Istanbul willbe available later this month for MSC Cruises Winter 2024/2025 ‘Stay and Cruise’ programme.
