xtremegk Posted March 6 #1 Share Posted March 6 Does anyone know when MSC generally releases their holiday cruises? Interested in 2025, but they've only released through October (with the exception of Seascape). Most other lines are already open for booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there are some news MSC Opera will operate in Autumn-Winter 2024-25 in Spain (and one call in Portugal) instead of the Read Sea. This is press release https://www.msccruises.com/int/news/canary-islands-new-itinerary-winter-2024-2025 This is cruise description https://www.msccruises.com/int/our-cruises/destinations/canary-islands I have a relative in Fuerteventura island. MSC Opera will call there on Tuesday whilst winter. I do not know reason but it seems every week will have a different itinerary. But Every Friday in Funchal, Madeira (Portugal) where you can have embarkment Every Sunday in Santa Cruz, Tenerife (Spain) where you can have embarkment Every monday in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (Spain) where you can have embarkment and every Tuesday in Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura (Spain) as I have seen Wednesday, Thursday and Friday may vary there are weeks where you visit Lanzarote island AND/OR Lanzarote for two days AND/OR La Palma island AND/OR La Gomera island to summarize 4 days more. All of them have one day at sea. I will ask about what does the sea do at night.... Fuerteventura island to Lanzarote island is only 11 km away. 32 minutes by ferry. From cruise port to cruise port.... a bit more but.... what on hell it departs one island by 20:00 and it doesn't arrive till 8:00 to the next port??? If someone wanna have the experience of failing when "all on board", try here... It is strongly easy to move to the other island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is strongly easy to move to the other island Appreciate that update...but it in no way answers the question I posed. This redeployment goes through March 2025 and does not include 2025 holiday cruises. As for the short jumps, much of that is down to port opening/closing times (the authorities have to staff when the ship is there). Not too different with some islands in the Caribbean (St. Thomas and Puerto Rico are very close to one another, for instance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alserrod Posted March 7 #4 Share Posted March 7 About opening/closing ports and so near ports.... where do ships sail at night? Or they just stop in the middle of the Ocean? Until now, I thought Genova >> La Spezia, which are just 100 km away, was the shortest distance. But Puerto del Rosario >> Arrecife are just 65 km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC now has their Caribbean 2025 2026 cruises out of Miami and PC. Must have posted them late yesterday because they weren't there yesterday morning.
