With summer fast approaching, MSC Cruises says Canadian cruisers can expect a seamless travel experience with features including transparent pricing, protected Fly & Cruise packages and curated shore excursions.

The fast-expanding cruise line says Canadian guests can book their summer 2026 holiday with confidence, citing the following : 

INCLUSIVE PRICING: An MSC Cruises’ holiday comes complete with full-board dining across elegant main restaurants and option-packed buffets, spectacular shows each evening, multiple swimming pools, action-packed aquaparks, fitness facilities, family entertainment programs and more – all included in the cruise fare.

ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS: A variety of staterooms are available a range of travellers, from comfortable, great value inside cabins to connecting options for families and groups. Ocean View staterooms offer scenic sea views, while balcony cabins provide a private outdoor space to enjoy the fresh ocean air.

CANADIAN DOLLAR PRICING: Your clients have the option to pre-book onboard experiences in Canadian dollars, eliminating exchange-rate uncertainty. This helps avoid additional costs while allowing early access to preferred experiences, including shore excursions, specialty dining, spa treatments and more.

FULLY PROTECTED FLY & CRUISE PACKAGES: Designed with Canadian travellers in mind, MSC Cruises’ Fly & Cruise program makes getting to the ship effortless. With departures from major Canadian gateways, the program includes guaranteed arrival at the ship and dedicated 24/7 travel support, ensuring a smooth and stress‑free journey.

For seven-night Caribbean sailings from La Romana, the program has been enhanced with a bundled offering that includes flights, transfers and a pre-bookable Easy Drinks Package, providing Canadians with added value and a more streamlined travel experience.

New Fly & Cruise options will soon be available for Canadian travellers, with upcoming availability on MSC World Europa sailings for winter departures from Fort-de-France and Pointe-à-Pitre. 

EFFORTLESS SHORE EXCURSIONS: With a dedicated team on board to help to prioritize an authentic and smooth excursion experience, booking a shore excursion directly with the cruise line also ensures guests have added peace of mind, knowing the team is on hand to help, with tours that focus on quality, safety and reliability. 

Guests can also enjoy the freedom of a flexible cancellation policy in the event of any unexpected circumstances.
