New regional flights for MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises will launch regional flights to serve Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh airports between April and September 2010.

The Italian cruise line said it would reveal full details at the ABTA Travel Convention in Barcelona next week.

MAC says the flights have been launched to serve the growing popularity of cruising in the UK.

They will be serviced by Monarch Airlines, Thomas Cook, Flybe and Jet2 and will coincide with Mediterranean departures from Barcelona, Venice and Mallorca.

They are priced at £249 for a return journey and include transfers to and from the port.

"As a result of the 50% growth in sales activity between 2008 and 2009 and continued predicted year-on-year growth in the UK, MSC Cruises has expanded its service offering with a range of regional flights," said MSC managing director Giulio Libutti.

"These flights will ultimately open up MSC fly/cruise holidays to a wider UK audience."
