This voyage promises an unparalleled exploration of the globe, visiting 50 destinations in 21 countries. In a noteworthy expansion, the itinerary includes seven overnight stays and introduces 22 destinations previously unvisited on an MSC world cruise, enhancing the allure for regular cruisers and newcomers alike.
The itinerary embarks in January 2025, from four distinguished European ports: Civitavecchia/Rome on the 4th, Genoa on the 5th, Marseille on the 6th, and culminating in Barcelona on the 7th. As the voyage unfolds, it will traverse five continents, covering more than 30,000 nautical miles across three of the world’s grandest oceans, offering passengers a truly immersive and diverse travel experience.
MSC Cruises highlights the itinerary’s potential for cultural enrichment, citing opportunities to experience new tastes, traditions, and communities. Initially, travellers will explore notable European cities and ports starting in Italy, France, and Spain. Following this, they will journey to Casablanca, Morocco, before a sea passage to Cape Verde’s capital, Mindelo, marking the first leg of their Atlantic crossing.
Upon reaching South America, the trip includes a detailed exploration over a period of ten days, featuring extended stays in Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Valparaiso, Chile, alongside a visit to the Falkland Islands. This segment is designed to afford travellers an intimate glimpse into the continent’s vibrant cultures and landscapes.
Continuing across the South Pacific, the cruise visits the Northern Islands of New Zealand, offering a prelude to the expansive journeys through New Zealand and Australia. Passengers will have ample opportunity to savour cultural diversity and the natural beauty unique to these regions.
As the voyage advances towards Asia, the ship stops at destinations like Benoa in Bali and Singapore, among others, providing an array of experiences that reflect Asia’s rich cultural tapestry. The subsequent journey across the Indian Ocean includes stops in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and Aqaba, Jordan, culminating in several iconic Italian ports.
The 2025 world cruise is more than an itinerary; it is a statement of MSC Cruises’ commitment to sustainable travel, underscored by a new global brand campaign that foregrounds environmental stewardship.
