MSC Cruises Offers Summer and Fall Deals for Mediterranean Cruises

MSC Cruises is making it possible to visit Europe during the height of the vacation season and into the fall on its fleet of ships – including the new MSC Divina – with limited-time-only rates that begin at $449.

Available only for bookings made by June 30, 2012 on select sailings, these cruise-only rates (per person, double occupancy; government fees and taxes are additional) begin at $449 for select seven-night summer cruises and at $499 for select seven-night fall itineraries.

While visiting European destinations in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, guests will also enjoy MSC Cruises’ Mediterranean heritage and international experience with entertainment, the MSC Aurea Spa and Mediterranean cuisine on the line’s ships, including MSC Divina, which entered the fleet in May.
