An announcement from MSC Cruises announced its new summer 2024 “Stay & Cruise” program, offering guests the option to extend their seven-night sailings to nine or ten nights.

Athens, Venice, Rome, Miami and New York are among the five destinations where the add-on packages are available.

There is the option of adding two nights of accommodation with breakfast in Athens, Venice and Rome, or two or three nights in New York before or after their seven-night voyage.

With every “Stay & Cruise” package, you can explore the attractions of the city for a half-day.

In addition to ground transfers from the airport to the hotel, transfers from the hotel to the ship are also included for guests staying before and after the cruise.

A Civitavecchia cruiser can take advantage of the offer by staying an extended period of time in Rome before or after the cruise on the MSC Divina, MSC Fantasia, MSC Musica, MSC Seaside and MSC Seaview.

You can extend your vacation in Athens on the MSC Opera, departing from Piraeus, with the Venice add-on package available either pre- or post-cruise onboard the MSC Armonia, MSC Lirica and MSC Sinfonia.

Guests taking the MSC Seascape sailing from Miami can take part in the program during their stay in the city for an additional two days.

Pre-cruise stays in New York are also available on the MSC Meraviglia for guests sailing on board the ship.

Also coming soon will be a “Stay & Cruise” package for Istanbul for MSC Cruises’ winter 2024-25 season.
