MSC Bellissima Joins Summer 2022 Mediterranean Sailings

Due to the demand for cruise vacations this summer, MSC Cruises has added MSC Bellissima to their Mediterranean fleet. 

“As holidaymakers are planning now their summer holidays, we are extremely pleased to see that our continued and present investments in the experience on board – including improved dining, additional entertainment options as well as extra staff to look after every need of our guests even during the busy summer season – is paying off with high ratings from recurring and new guests,” said Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises. “This led us to position one additional ship in the Mediterranean – a popular destination – to give our guests even more choice of ships and itineraries.”

On July 9, 2022, MSC Bellissima will begin offering 7-night sailings from Valencia and Barcelona/Tarragona, Spain, and the Italian ports of Genoa, Livorno, and Naples. To see available trip dates head to MSC Cruises website.
