The 2024 route is all new and unique. Rather than circumnavigating the globe, this itinerary is circling around the Atlantic Ocean, offering more intimate destinations in areas that aren’t often visited on world itineraries.
MSC Cruises is offering amazing shore excursions to introduce travelers to the richness and diversity of each destination.
With each booking, 15 shore tours are included, such as an archeological expedition in Cyprus, a Nazareth and Jordan River baptismal experience in Israel, gin tasting in South Africa, and a variety of city highlights, top 10, and similar overview tours along the way.
Additional tours are available to book both before the cruise as well as during the extensive voyage.
