All aboard for a splash of winter sun with MSC Cruises

When the days grow shorter and scarves become essential, there’s no better time to swap grey skies for blue horizons.

This winter, MSC Cruises invites travellers to chase the sun across some of the world’s most radiant destinations - from the golden shores of the Caribbean to the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean and the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands.

Recently crowned the UK’s number one cruise line in the Mega (4,000+ passengers) category in the Condé Nast Traveller’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards, MSC Cruises continues to redefine the art of travel - blending exceptional comfort with the spirit of discovery.

Onboard, the pace is yours to set. Lazy mornings can melt into sun-dappled afternoons spent on deck, where the chill of winter feels more like a distant memory.

Those seeking ultimate relaxation can retreat to the MSC Aurea Spa, a sanctuary of calm offering rejuvenating treatments and ocean views that soothe the senses.

Or perhaps the ultimate indulgence lies within the exclusive MSC Yacht Club, a ship-within-a-ship concept where guests enjoy private suites, personal butlers, and curated menus inspired by the regions visited.

Of course, every journey with MSC Cruises is as much a feast for the palate as it is for the soul.

Dining on board reflects the diverse destinations explored, with each dish celebrating local and global flavours.

Guests can enjoy French-Vietnamese creations at Indochine, Latin and Mexican-inspired dishes at Hola Tacos & Cantina, handmade Italian pasta at the first-ever Eataly at sea, or indulge in premium steaks and seafood at Butcher’s Cut - and there’s plenty more to discover on board.

In the Caribbean, menus burst with tropical energy - think mango-glazed mahi-mahi,
