MSC Cruises launches Mediterranean fly-cruise programme for summer 2027

MSC Cruises has opened sales for its summer 2027 Mediterranean fly-cruise programme, with lead-in prices starting from £999.

The line has secured regional flight capacity through Jet2, offering departures from Manchester to Barcelona or Rome, Edinburgh to Rome or Naples, and Belfast to Palma. Additionally, Aer Lingus will provide connections from Dublin to Barcelona and Rome.

To encourage early bookings, agents can secure cabins for clients with a reduced deposit of £100.

A sample seven-night itinerary on MSC Fantasia, departing Manchester for Barcelona on 15 or 22 April 2027, starts from £999. The sailing includes calls at Ibiza, Cagliari, Civitavecchia, Livorno and Cannes. Prices cover return flights, hold luggage, airport transfers and a full-board cruise.

Antonio Paradiso, vice-president of international sales, said: “We are seeing strong demand for the Mediterranean, and our Fly & Cruise packages are particularly popular as they offer a seamless experience with everything included in one price.

“Guests can also add a drinks package from £28 per person per night. As always, we will status match other holiday loyalty schemes, allowing new customers to join our MSC Voyagers Club at a level that reflects their existing loyalty elsewhere, providing immediate savings and onboard benefits.”
