(JUNE 23, 2008) – MSC Cruises has announced a special
one-of-a-kind cruise that will provide a unique opportunity for
cruise aficionados to be among the first to sail on
MSC Orchestra
in North American waters – and enjoy an extended New Year’s
celebration at the same time.
The line has opened reservations for a two-night Caribbean
inaugural cruise on
MSC Orchestra
departing from Fort Lauderdale Jan. 2, 2009, to launch the
ship’s first season sailing Caribbean itineraries. The ship will
spend one day in Nassau and return to Fort Lauderdale on Sunday,
Jan. 4.
Cruise-only rates for the two-night inaugural sailing begin at
$199 per person, double occupancy; government fees and taxes are
additional, as is a fuel surcharge for the first two people
occupying a stateroom.
With the line’s “Kids Sail Free” offer (ages 17 and under sail
free when sharing a stateroom with two full-fare-paying adults),
the entire family can enjoy a winter weekend getaway on one of
the cruise world’s newest and most beautiful ships.
MSC
Orchestra,
which debuted in 2007, is the largest of the line’s ships to
sail in North American waters. Onboard, guests will find the
perfect combination of grace and style, with:
-
5 restaurants, including the only dedicated Chinese restaurant
at sea;
-
10 lounges (two of which are open air), including a disco;
-
a 21-foot by 12-foot outdoor LED movie screen;
-
an expansive 16,146
square-foot Body and Mind Spa;
-
and so much more!
After the special inaugural sailing,
MSC Orchestra
will sail alternating 7-night roundtrip itineraries through
April 25, 2009:
-
Eastern Caribbean,
calling at Cayo Levantado, Dominican Republic;
Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. John, Antigua; and
Nassau, Bahamas, as well as two days at sea.
-
Western Caribbean,
calling at Key West, Florida; Cozumel, Mexico; Georgetown,
Grand Cayman; Cayo Levantado, Dominican Republic, and two days
at sea.
A highlight of both itineraries is a call at Cayo Levantado, the
line’s private paradise experience.
A special 7-night roundtrip Bermuda sailing departs Fort
Lauderdale April 25, 2009. This itinerary includes three days in
King’s Wharf, Bermuda and a day in Nassau, Bahamas, as well as
two sea days.
