Record increase in bookings for MSC Cruises in October and November

MSC Cruises UK and Ireland has experienced unprecedented growth during October and November, with bookings up more than 70 per cent year-on-year.

The company attributes these sales figures to amazing offers such as the All Inclusive Drinks Package; United Arab Emirates mega deal and the Pick Your Gift offer whereby passengers can choose one gift from a series of options including free flights, onboard credit, £200 per person discount or All Inclusive Drink Package.

In addition, MSC Opera’s ex-UK sailings from Southampton to northern and western Europe are proving to be extremely successful.

Commented Giulio Libutti, MSC Cruises’ managing director for UK and Ireland: “We are delighted with how customers have responded to our programme of promotions. A 70 per cent increase is a phenomenal result, particularly given the prevailing market conditions.

“MSC Cruises’ profile has never been stronger in the UK and Irish markets, thanks to our unrivalled reputation for offering high quality cruises at value for money prices.”

MSC Cruises currently has 11 ships cruising five regions of the world. The fleet comprises three ship classes, each unique in size and capacity and designed to appeal to different passenger types. The fleet will increase in size with the addition of the MSC Divina in May 2012.
