MSC Cruises, the world’s largest privately-owned cruise line, has announced that cabins for the inaugural summer 2017 cruises of MSC Meraviglia, its first next-generation ship, are now on sale.
Sales of cruises on the 315m-long ship will initially be open exclusively to MSC Club members, with the ship going on general sale on 5 July.
Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises, said: “The opening of sales marks yet another decisive milestone in MSC Cruises’ expansion plan, especially as MSC Meraviglia’s inaugural cruise will take place two years from now. MSC Meraviglia is a true maritime marvel and will be one of the greenest and safest ships in the industry, as well as one of the most technologically advanced. We are thrilled to offer MSC Club members the first pick to book their distinctive holiday experience so far in advance and the demand we are seeing for our product translates the eagerness with which MSC Meraviglia is awaited.”
MSC Meraviglia will be the biggest cruise ship ever built by a global European-based cruise line. The 5,700-guest, 167,600-GRT ship — due to be delivered in May 2017 — will spend its first summer sailing the western Mediterranean and will be the first to have three homeports: Genoa, Marseille and Barcelona.
On board, guests will be able to access a whole range of facilities via the latest Near Field Communication technology. By using NFC wristbands, cruise cards or their smartphone, guests will be able to make payments, book spa treatments and speciality restaurants, access their cabin and safe, and even geo-locate their children.
