MSC Fantasia to Be Inaugurated Dec. 18

Fri Nov 28 2008, written and credited by Travel Trade Staff

MSC Cruises will christen its new ship MSC Fantasia on Dec. 18 in Naples, Italy. Sophia Loren is set to be the godmother. 

The 3,274-passenger MSC Fantasia will have 290,000-square feet of common areas, including five swimming pools — one, “I Tropici,” with a retractable roof; 12 whirlpools and an Acqua Park with 150 fountains; five restaurants — including “La Cantina Toscana” — with Italian wines, “El Sombrero Tex Mex” and an a la carte French restaurant.

 

The MSC Yacht Club, a first for the line, will have 99 suites, between 247- and 570-square feet; a lounge with view of the sea; a Concierge with Swarovski crystal stairs; other reserved spaces; and personal butlers.

 

MSC Fantasia is also “green” with environmentally friendly paint, modern technology for the treatment of black and grey waters and energy saving systems in cabins and common areas.

 

MSC Fantasia is the 10th ship in the MSC Cruises fleet. After the inaugural ceremony, it will call at Genoa from where it will leave on Dec. 20 for its maiden voyage, a 9-day Mediterranean cruise, calling at Rhodes, Alexandria of Egypt, Messina and Naples. Twelve-day Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean cruises will be available through winter 2009.

MSC Cruises Announces Free Cruise Grand Prize Winner

Published on: October 22, 2008 and credited and written by modernagent.com

MSC Cruises has selected another free cruise winner in its online contest that is part of its year-long celebration leading up to the arrival of MSC Orchestra in North America. Christina Joly of Lynnfield, Mass., has won a free seven-night Caribbean cruise on MSC Orchestra. She was the lucky winner selected from those who entered online at the line’s new website, www.theorchestraiscomingtotown.com. “I am so thrilled and so excited,” said Joly, who previously sailed on MSC Opera as well as several other lines. “We love to cruise. You only have to pack once and you can see several islands.” Her family enjoyed their cruise on MSC Opera so much that they were already planning to sail with MSC Cruises again. “The staff was friendly, the ship was opulent and elegant, the food was unbelievable and the kids loved the Kids’ Club. We even learned some Italian and sang ‘Volare’ in the talent show,” she recalled.

The contest is continuing through the end of the year. Additional free cruises and other free gifts will be awarded before MSC Orchestra arrives in Fort Lauderdale on Jan. 2 for its inaugural Caribbean season. “The arrival of MSC Orchestra in Fort Lauderdale marks the first time one of the line’s magnificent Musica class ships is sailing Caribbean itineraries, and we are very excited to share this MSC Cruises experience with North American travelers,” said Richard Sasso, president and CEO of MSC Cruises (USA). Guests who visit the website also will find ship information, a slide show and flash presentation complete with factoids, free downloadable wallpaper, e-cards, shuffle picture puzzles and games. The site also includes information on promotions on MSC Orchestra, including the line’s “Kids Sail Free” offer, where youngsters under the age of 17 sail free when sharing a stateroom with two full-fare-paying adults.

MSC Orchestra will sail alternating seven-night roundtrips through April 25. The Eastern Caribbean itinerary calls at St. Maarten, Antigua, Nassau and Cayo Levantado, Dominican Republic. The Western Caribbean route visits Key West, Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Cayo Levantado. A seven-night roundtrip Bermuda sailing departs Fort Lauderdale April 25 and includes three days in King’s Wharf, Bermuda, and a day in Nassau, Bahamas. MSC Orchestra will depart Fort Lauderdale May 2 on an 18-night voyage that includes a two-day visit to New York City before heading eastbound to Ponta Delgado, Azores; Lisbon, Portugal; Vigo and La Coruna, Spain; Dover, England; and Copenhagen, Denmark.
