MSC Divina Fall Grand Voyage Cancelled?

[Heartgrove]

Just received an email this afternoon announcing the November 2 - November 22, 2024 cancellation of the Grand Voyage for the MSC Divina from Genoa to Miami. The website still shows the Mediterranean cruises up to November 2, and cruises from Miami starting November 22. Drydock? Change in itinerary? 20 nights unaccounted for.

Also cancelled is the return in Spring 2025. I think Divina may not be returning to the Caribbean in the future. 😞

 

We're looking at Seaside's transatlantic crossings in October now to replace our reserved Divina cruise.

@Heartgrove Have you found a comparable Grand Voyage to book? We're looking at Seaside in late October 2024 but not sure where we might want to embark yet.

Yes, we actually had not cancelled our HAL Transatlantic for October from Rotterdam before deciding on the Divina Grand Voyage. So our whole trip through Switzerland and Italy before the MSC Splendida and MSC Divina cruises has been tossed. Instead we have decided to fly to AMS a week before to visit the Netherlands before embarking, and then stay on the Rotterdam once we get to Florida as it continues on down to the Panama Canal. It will be 27 days aboard. But to stay loyal to MSC, today we booked the MSC Seashore for May 5 in YC. All of our other MSC cruises have been in Europe so this will be our first time to sail MSC from the US! It will be interesting to compare MSC Europe to MSC USA.

 

Enjoy your Seaview Grand Voyage!

How fortunate that you still had the HAL booking to use as a backup! We haven't gone through the Panama Canal yet, but it is on our list for the future. We've sailed YC both in Europe and in the US. We think YC "smooths out" the differences in the different passenger mixes. I'm sure you'll enjoy it all. 🙂
