That was my original thought, but in my pure excitement I booked Grandiosa out of Civitavecchia 8/18/21! Lots of research to do! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 64 itineraries just for June 2021. See below. If you don’t see them, you may need to clear your history in your browser. We are looking at booking Orchestra for one week, and Grandiosa for another week. Hope your search works this time. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted November 28, 2019 #33 Share Posted November 28, 2019 For the pros on Med/European cruises here: Are they refundable if you cancel before final payment, just like Caribbean cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher/bartender Posted November 28, 2019 #34 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I am wishing and hoping that MSC will cruise to Alaska at some point. I’d love a west coast cruise! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechE31 Posted November 30, 2019 #35 Share Posted November 30, 2019 It looks like only the FANTASIA has released for Greek Isles. Is it normal that you can start the cruise at just about any port? We're looking at June 2021 and It looks like the ship is on a rolling itinerary 10 day itinerary that you can join in just about any port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexddd Posted November 30, 2019 #37 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Their Northern Europe also have more than one embarkation point, at least some ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted November 30, 2019 #38 Share Posted November 30, 2019 It's a good approach for people whose vacation timing is constrained: if you find an itinerary you like, that ship will be repeating it all summer so whenever you're free you're good to go. It's not so good for people who would like some variation in ports – but ships this size are limited in where they can dock anyway. I hope MSC's proposed Luxury Class ships will have a completely different itinerary philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love a west coast cruise! They don't have a license for Glacier Bay, which is the best of the best part of Alaska cruises. And the size of their ships would overwhelm all the ports in Alaska [which of course many current ship calls already do]. If you really want to experience Alaska, seek out a small-ship cruise that can really explore the scenic channels and unusual port stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
researchfreak90 Posted December 1, 2019 #41 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I find it wierd that none of the purpose built "Seaside class" will be in the Caribbean that summer condisering that was the market they were purpose built for and designed to look like Miami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted December 1, 2019 Author #42 Share Posted December 1, 2019 RF ... I had been told that Seashore will replace Seaside for Winter 21, I have since also heard that it may be headed to Dubai! but with MSC who really knows, advance port schedules cannot be relied upon as they are booked so far in advance so it will be a case of wait and see when the winter itineraries for 21 are published.

dexddd Posted January 6, 2020 #45 Share Posted January 6, 2020 So we finally booked 2021 Northern Europe on Virtuosa with two segments b2b. US website didn't show any of the b2b as an option to book as one trip yet when TA contacted MSC that is how it got booked. Are people in other countries seeing option to book summer 2021 two segments as one trip? Thought it was a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD64 Posted January 6, 2020 #46 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The smaller ultra-luxury class of MSC ships will be debuting in 2023. Maybe the intention is to have them start sailing to Alaska as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC USA website: - Northern Europe - MSC Virtuosa - Kiel, Germany to Kiel, Germany - 15 Days / 14 Nights (b2b Denmark/Norway and Finland/Russia/Estonia) - Dates: May 08, May 15, May 22, Jul 03, Jul 31 It’s technically not considered ‘b2b’ since it is one booking , one itinerary and the same stateroom. These itineraries are usually cheaper than 2 separate bookings (traditional b2b). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
