MSC Cruises will sail its first-ever world cruise on MSC Magnifica in 2019, the cruise company announced today.
The cruise will depart from Genoa, Italy, on Jan. 5, 2019, and return 119 days later on May 3, 2019, crossing six continents and calling at 49 unique destinations in 32 countries in-between.
Highlights include Bora Bora, New Zealand, Fiji, the Maldives, nine Caribbean port calls, Hawaii and San Francisco. Magnifica will spend an average of 13 hours in each port, giving guests ample time to survey and explore the local destination.
MSC will also offer guests onboard discounts, including 30% off laundry services. Prices for the sailing start at $16,999.
Magnifica, which entered service in 2010, features a full-scale casino, cigar lounge and a 4D cinema onboard.
