Our magnificent Mediterranean cruises.
Every day is un bel giorno, a beautiful day, on our Eastern and Western Mediterranean cruises. Seaside villages perch on cliffs awaiting your arrival. Cobblestone streets wind through medieval towns inviting you to stroll through history. In our beloved Italy, cypress trees stand as noble sentinels in the countryside, and cities from Venice to Florence and Rome offer remarkable works of art.
Your Mediterranean vacation with MSC Cruises may also take you to destinations as diverse as exotic Casablanca and Istanbul, and historic Dubrovnik and Marseilles. Or discover the Gothic architecture of Barcelona, the ancient mysteries of Alexandria and the haunting beauty of Ephesus and Athens. We'll also sail through the Dardanelles to Yalta and Odessa, summer retreats of the Russian czars. When you travel with MSC Cruises, all the wonders of the Mediterranean are at your doorstep.
The enchantment of our Northern Europe cruises.
Just as nature has etched ancient cliffs, waterfalls and glaciers into the landscape of the stunning Scandinavian fjords, so will the Baltic remain etched in your mind. In Italy, we call it spettacolare! Equally spectacular are the fairy tale castles of Denmark, the czarist treasures of Russia and the blue and white palace of Catherine the Great. Travel by train through breathtaking scenery in Norway, kayak along Geiranger Fjord's steep mountain walls, or go on an adventurous glacier hike.
Our Baltic Capitals cruise vacation is a sweeping tour of some of Northern Europe's most glorious cities. Navigate the narrow waterways of Stockholm or discover Tallin, the capital of Estonia. Choose a Russia and Baltic cruise to explore the beautiful summer palace of Peter the Great, walk the medieval cobbled streets of Visby and bicycle through Helsinki.
On our Northern Europe cruises, the riches of nature are matched only by the richness of the cultures you'll discover with each giorno meraviglioso--each and every wonderful day.
