Fancy a holiday? Then you can’t beat the Mediterranean.

While technically a sea, it’s more a destination, thanks to its incredible history, diverse cultures, scenic beauty and amazingly azure coastlines.

And if you’re looking for the ultimate way to experience it, look no further than MSC Cruises, the undisputed leader in Mediterranean cruising.

In this short guide, we’re gonna walk you through how MSC Cruises can unlock the Mediterranean for your clients, offering flexible itineraries, incredible deals, and a strong focus on sustainability.

All aboard!

The Mediterranean: A Year-Round Playground

When most people (including your clients) think of the Mediterranean, they’re probably picturing sunny summers. But with MSC Cruises, the region is accessible year-round.

It’s particularly popular amongst Aussie travellers during the northern hemisphere winter escapes, with recent data showing that demand for these itineraries has increased by 60 per cent as of last count.

Of course, with ships sailing through the Med’s beautiful landscapes during summer too, it’s the perfect way for your clients to dodge the Australian winter and bask in the warmth of Europe.

Itineraries to Suit Every Traveller

Whether your clients want a relaxing beach getaway or an immersive cultural journey, MSC Cruises has them covered. With up to 14 ships sailing through Mediterranean waters, they offer an incredible variety of itineraries.

For example: there’s a 7-night East Mediterranean cruise featuring Dubrovnik, Mykonos, and Santorini. Or, if the West is more your clients’ style, they can explore Italy’s treasures like Portofino and Pompeii, the elegance of Malta’s capital Valletta, and Spain’s iconic Barcelona.

And if they want the best of both, they can combine the East and West itineraries for a Grand Mediterranean tour! More details can be found here.

The Seasational Sale: Don’t Miss Out!

MSC Cruises is sweetening the deal with its “Seasational Sale” which kicked off 23 September 2024 and runs until 16 January 2025. Valid on selected sailings from April to November 2025, this amazing deal boasts up to 25% off cruise fares, $1,000 onboard credit per cabin, and kids cruise free (paying port + hotel service charges apply) on selected sailings – it’s an irresistible offer!

Included in this sale is the historic West Mediterranean aboard the stunning MSC Grandiosa. Imagine sending your clients on a 7-night West Med exploring the best of Italy, Spain, and France for as low as AUD$1,475 per person?

Or perhaps they’d prefer a journey to the Norwegian Fjords aboard MSC Euribia – another ship powered by LNG for ultimate sustainability – for only AUD$1,875 per person or AUD$2,185 with included Easy Plus drinks package.

Departing from Copenhagen, Denmark on 21 September 2025 and exploring the immense Norwegian Fjords over 7-nights. With ports of call including Alesund, Geiranger/ Hellesylt, Flaam and Kiel in Germany, your clients can savour this remote and unspoiled landscape that has changed very little since the first people settled in these areas.
