General Information/History

 

1988 - MSC Cruises is a division of Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), a privately owned company with a longstanding history on the seas headed by captain Gianluigi Aponte

MSC Cruises' main playground is, of course, the Mediterranean, and itineraries include stops in Italy, Greece, Malta, Canary Islands, Croatia, Finland, Portugal, Morocco, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Istanbul and even the Ukraine. MSC Cruises began serving the Caribbean in 1997 and has since added cruises to South Africa and South America.

In the Mediterranean and South Africa, expect a very European crowd though Caribbean sailings are geared very strongly to North American travelers. In all cases, MSC Cruises' appeals to travelers interested in a moderately priced cruise experience.
