MSC details revised East Mediterranean cruise itineraries
MSC Cruises has adjusted several East Mediterranean cruises for MSC Sinfonia and MSC Musica due to the conflict in Israel.
MSC Sinfonia’s 11-night voyages will see Haifa, Israel replaced by Istanbul in Turkey.
It also means Rhodes will be replaced by Piraeus, Greece and Izmir in Turkey will replace Limassol, Cyprus.
Starting 21 Oct 2023, MSC Sinfonia’s new itinerary will be the Italian ports of Genoa, Civitavecchia and Messina followed by Piraeus, Izmir, Istanbul and Heraklion in Crete before the ship returns to Genoa.
MSC Musica’s three 7-night voyages from Piraeus, Greece will see Haifa replaced by Rhodes on 18 and 25 October and Marmaris in Turkey on 1 November.
Gianni Onorato, CEO, MSC Cruises, said, “We have worked rapidly to revise the itineraries of MSC Sinfonia and MSC Musica to offer an attractive East Mediterranean cruise alternative for the winter months.”
The line has begun contacting all affected passengers and their travel agents.
MSC Cruises will also update its website to reflect the confirmed details of the new itineraries.
