MSC cruises have been going for many years now, I have sailed on a couple of their ships and thoroughly enjoyed them. The cabins are of a great size, the staff were fantastic and the ships are lovely, very glamorous & clean.
The food was great too and a good choice, some of the entertainment was geared towards families so we just took ourselves off to another venue that suited us.
MSC Magnifica will be sailing from Southampton in 2018 offering various itineraries for the UK market. As us Brits like our traditions, MSC will factor these on board Magnifica so you don’t miss out on that little bit of home.
Most cruise ships don’t offer tea/coffee making facilities in the cabins like British Ships but this one will. So rest assured you can make that cup of tea/coffee in the morning when you get up or if like me I love a cup of tea before bed so on Magnifica you can!
Also to be featured are the traditional Sunday Roast in the main dining room. We all love a good old Sunday Roast so on board Magnifica you will still enjoy this meal.
There will be 23 sailings, 7 unique itineraries with various durations from 5-14 night options so something for everyone. If you’ve never done northern Europe then why not try MSC Magnifica.
There are some great prices out there too and if you choose the ‘Fantastica’ price you will also get an All Inclusive drinks package which is another thing us Brits love to be included.

MSC will also match your loyalty level with other cruise lines so you don’t lose out on any discounts or on board benefits – this is a great tool I think and will work very well.
