Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know anything about where the bellissima is going to be homeported ?

I just hope it will not be another genoa -> western med - route...

I thought it would be replacing meraviglia doing the med as meraviglia is going to miami

Unfortunately it is - "MSC Bellissima, our brand new flagship and sister ship to MSC Meraviglia, will be setting sail from 24 March 2019 calling the most renowned pearls of the Mediterranean. From Genoa it will take you to Naples, Messina, Valletta, Barcelona and Marseille"

I wonder when MSC plans to re-instate Tunis as a POC and if this itinerary will include it if/when they do?

MSC Meraviglia's itinerary differs slightly calling to Civitavecchia and Palermo instead of Naples and Messina and will still be in the Med for the season when Bellissima debuts.

I didn't receive this newsletter ☹️

This is great but released on May bank holiday (UK and parts of the EU)! We are away but will find a hot spot to log in.

If the deals are as good as they were for Meraviglia when I booked then may have to book again!

Whast is considered a good deal? We are new to MSC and do not have anything to compare to.

Hi everyone

The itinerary is up on MSC Cruises but not the UK website! No prices as yet.

Just tried to ring MSC UK, but, as it's a Bank Holiday, they closed at 4pm!!

While it looks like there's zero interest in the launch, it was still a strange decision to open bookings today - especially as there are no prices available unless you phone for the information! :mad:

It's a shame they didn't go for Southampton and take on / wake up P&O

Bea ... Typical of MSC, Left hand, Right hand comes mind.

Well, I have tried to look at numerous other MSC websites, including Australia. No idea of prices anywhere. Will have to wait until tomorrow!!

Bookings opened today but you cannot get beyond the Select passengers page! ... :eek:

Panamapd ................... For some reason I thought yesterday was Bank Holiday Monday - doh!!!

I rang MSC this morning - no prices and bookings not open yet. The rep suggested that I try in the "next couple of weeks"!!! When I told her I'd received a newsletter stating that bookings were opening today, she suggested I try later. It was obvious she had no clue and hadn't even been given a heads-up that there was a launch today.

So, Dave, you're absolutely right - the left hand has no clue what the right hand is doing.

How funny, Beamafar!!

How typical of MSC!!

At least the prices are up - £499 per adult? I was looking at Easter 2019. That seems quite reasonably priced.

No further info any other website.

1. Bellissima was on the I phone app so I started looking.

2. App then crashed.

3. Bellissima no longer on app!

4. Repeat above later

Prices are up on the Ireland website, now.

Lead in price for March & April is €589. The promotion for Voyagers Club members is 5% + 5% discount, so that seems like a very reasonable price. When you consider that it's 2 years away and what prices generally could be by then, it's quite attractive!

Can't get into "Cruise detail" for cabin prices - "System busy, please try again later".

................. Dying to see what the YC prices are!

OUR BEAUTIFUL NEW FLAGSHIP

Available exclusively to Voyagers Club Members until 15th May

 

 

 

From 1st May, you will have the exclusive opportunity to book on MSC Bellissima first, and at a special Club fare. For two weeks of pre-booking, you will have access to an extra 5% off the Early Booking fares on top of the standard 5% MSC Voyagers Club discount

You’ll also get a Cirque du Soleil Show & Dinner for free*!

Setting sail from 24 March 2019 and calling at the most renowned Mediterranean pearls, you will also discover an enhanced and innovative cruise experience thanks to MSC for Me and a flexible dining approach allowing you to plan your dining time according to your daily schedule.
