MSC Cruises Reduces Deposit to Support Flexible Bookings

Monday, Mar 23, 2026 0

MSC Cruises has announced a reduced deposit promotion, designed to make it easier for guests to plan and secure their next holiday with greater flexibility.

Valid on all new bookings made between 23 March and 30 April 2026, the initiative applies to all cruises, excluding Yacht Club suites and World Cruises. Guests can confirm their booking with a reduced deposit of just £50 per person for cruise-only bookings and £100 per person for fly-cruise packages.

MSC Cruises offers a choice of 23 ships across a range of itineraries. Guests can choose from the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Alaska, the Caribbean, Northern Europe and beyond, with sailings to suit every traveller. Excitement is building for the upcoming launch of MSC World Asia on 4th December 2026, the brand’s newest ship, which will sail in the Mediterranean.

Alyshia Bartlett, Head of UK Sales at MSC Cruises, said: “We understand that flexibility is more important than ever when planning a holiday. By reducing the deposit, we’re giving our guests greater confidence and ease in securing their next holiday. This summer, MSC Virtuosa will sail from Southampton with 32 departures, offering an incredible choice of itineraries.

She added: “The initiative also helps stimulate early business, including our popular EX UK departures on MSC Meraviglia in Summer 2027 and MSC Preziosa for Winter 2026/27 and 2027/28, giving agents even more opportunities to secure forward business across multiple seasons.”
