MSC Cruises has unveiled a new lineup of over 90 exclusive shore excursions designed specifically for guests of the MSC Yacht Club. This marks the first time the cruise line has offered dedicated excursions for its premium ship-within-a-ship concept.
The new excursions will be available at ports in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, with plans to expand to other regions later this year. These small-group experiences aim to provide a more intimate exploration of destinations, aligning with MSC Yacht Club's focus on privacy and exclusivity.
"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 at MSC Cruises. “Guests will benefit from a seamless experience between the butlers' service onboard and the excursion experts onshore, as well as have the opportunity to relax and fully immerse themselves in each destination's culture, cuisine and traditions."
The excursions cover a range of interests, including culinary experiences, regional artistry, architectural tours and upscale adventure activities. Some highlights include:
- A luxury catamaran and snorkeling experience in Cozumel, Mexico.
- A private cabana retreat near the Martha Brae River in Falmouth, Jamaica.
- An exclusive perfume-making workshop at a family-owned factory near Cannes, France.
- An authentic pesto cooking class in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy.
- A visit to the Fontana geothermal baths in Akureyri, Iceland.
- A whiskey tasting tour at Glenmorangie Distillery in Invergordon, Scotland.
MSC Yacht Club guests can book these excursions in advance online, through the MSC Cruises contact center, via their travel agent or onboard using the MSC For Me app, MSC Yacht Club concierge service or Shore Excursions desk.
The new excursions complement the MSC Yacht Club experience, which includes dedicated facilities such as a sundeck, a pool, hot tubs, a restaurant and a lounge, along with 24-hour butler and concierge service.
