The MSC Euribia landed in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in late November to begin its Middle Eastern winter season.<\/p>\n

The MSC Cruises ship<\/a> will be sailing in the region for the first time, offering a series of cruises departing from Dubai and Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

Guests will also be able to embark in Doha on seven-night cruises to Qatar, the UAE, and Bahrain.<\/p>\n

In addition to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, the MSC Euribia will make stops in Sir Bani Yas and Khalifa Bin Salman on its regular sailings in the region.<\/p>\n

The mission will end in late March 2025, when the vessel will return to Northern Europe with no visitors on board.<\/p>\n

Following a summer deployment in Scandinavia and the North Sea, the MSC Euribia returned to the Middle East in early November.<\/p>\n

Due to security concerns in the Red Sea, the LNG-powered freighter traveled around Africa on its approach to Dubai.<\/p>\n

As part of its repositioning cruise, the Euribia paid a technical visit to MSC’s Nelson Mandela Cruise Terminal in Durban, South Africa.<\/p>\n

The vessel became the largest ever to visit South Africa, succeeding Royal Caribbean International’s Anthem of the Seas, which also made a technical call to the country.<\/p>\n

The MSC Euribia<\/a>, built by the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in France, will enter service for MSC Cruises in June 2023.<\/p>\n

The 177,100-ton ship, the fifth in a series that began with the MSC Meraviglia<\/a> in 2017, can accommodate over 4,800 people.<\/p>\n

After completing its 2025 summer season in Europe, the vessel is scheduled to return to the Middle East in 2025-26.<\/p>\n

The ship will sail from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha for its second deployment in the region, from early November 2025 to early April 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
