Christmas Gift: A Festive Escape Made Easy

A Christmas cruise is more than a holiday – it’s a chance to reset. From the moment you step on board, the atmosphere shifts. The ship twinkles with festive décor, the entertainment schedule comes alive with seasonal activities, and the sound of laughter echoes through lounges, restaurants, and open decks. MSC Opera creates a space where guests can celebrate the magic of the season without the pressure that usually accompanies it!

Families can enjoy quality time without lifting a finger, couples can steal romantic moments between ocean sunsets, and solo travellers can immerse themselves in a peaceful environment designed for total relaxation. Your festive escape becomes a gift you give yourself.

Unwrap One of Three Christmas Gifts

With MSC’s Christmas Gift Promotion, guests booking selected sailings can choose from three festive treats added to their experience at no additional charge. Each option has been specially curated to suit a different style of traveller:

• VIP Package

Perfect for guests who love an enhanced experience, the VIP Package adds exclusive touches designed to elevate your journey. With thoughtful upgrades and added comforts, this option is ideal for travellers who want their Christmas at sea to feel even more special.

• Drinks On Us

If your idea of a holiday includes sipping your favourite beverage while lounging by the pool or enjoying live music, this option is for you. Drinks On Us provides a selection of beverages throughout your sailing, giving you effortless relaxation without worrying about additional spend.

• Romantic Package

Designed for couples seeking connection, the Romantic Package turns your cruise into an intimate celebration. Think soft lighting, special moments, and an atmosphere that feels tailor-made for love. With ocean views setting the scene, romance becomes an effortless part of every day.

Each package adds its own personality to your Christmas escape, allowing you to shape your journey the way you want it.
