MSC Cruises Rolls Out Exclusive Yacht Club Shore Excursions

For years MSC Cruises guests who opted for the Yacht Club had access to a private restaurant, lounge, pool, and sundeck. Now, they have access to exclusive shore excursions. The offerings “take care of all the details,” from priority disembarkation to private transfers.

“The new offering has come following customer feedback and a desire for a more exclusive experience for MSC Yacht Club guests,” said Marialuisa Iaccarino, head of shore excursions for MSC Cruises. “Guests will benefit from a seamless experience between the butlers’ service onboard and the excursion experts ashore…”

The more than 90 small-group tours will be available at various ports in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Northern Europe, with more to come in other regions later this year. The experiences fall into a number of categories to suit a variety of tastes, ranging from authentic culinary experiences or learning about local artistry to visiting architectural treasures or getting involved in upscale adventure activities.

Options include a catamaran and snorkeling tour in Cozumel; a design-your-own-perfume in the South of France experience; exclusive use of a plush cabana with butler along the Martha Brae River in Jamaica; interactive pesto cooking class near Genoa, Italy; and more.

Advisors can book these excursions on behalf of their clients.
