MSC Cruises New Caribbean Itineraries

MSC Cruises is ready to set sail with two new Caribbean bound ships, ready to ride in to the sunset beginning in the 2009-2010 cruise season. The MSC Poesia and MSC Magnifica are each due to arrive in Fort Lauderdale for their inaugural 2009-10 Caribbean seasons. MSC has some eye-popping new cruises scheduled on the new boats. If you’re planning a Caribbean cruise, read on. If you aren’t, prepare to be jealous.

MSC offers a selection of 7 night Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings, as well as four different 10 night itineraries. Cruises start at $499 per person on 7 night cruises and $749 per person for 10 night
itineraries, based on double occupancy of-course. If you have whippersnappers, you’ll be excited to hear that when sharing a stateroom with two full-fare-paying adults.

Both the MSC Magnifica and the MSC Poesia offer 1,275 staterooms. 80% of those are outside staterooms and 65% have a balcony. Guests will enjoy the 236,000 square feet of public spaces, 2 pools and 4 hot tubs, and the 13,000 square foot spa. On each ship, guests will have the opportunity to dine at four unique restaurants, including a Sushi Bar. Even in…not so sunny weather, guests can swim away in the MSC Magnifica pool while covered by the Magrodome.

Once in Fort Lauderdale, the MSC Magnifica will sail roundtrip 7 night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries through April 7, 2010.
