In the lead up to the festive season, MSC Cruises has unwrapped the "perfect gift" . . . a 25-night holiday package which combines a two-night stay in London with a three-week cruise from the White Cliffs of Dover to the Black Sea, visiting two new ports.
Priced from $5726 per person, twin share, the specially-tailored fly/stay/cruise package includes return economy air fare with Emirates from Australia on September 7, 2013 along with transfers, accommodation and all the usual inclusions of the cruise as well as port charges, service charges and flight taxes.
"And, thanks to the flexibility of the air ticket, each passenger has the chance to stay in Europe for up to six months after the cruise," said Lynne Clarke, managing director of MSC Cruises Australia and New Zealand.
"Book for this trip now and you will be offered multiple deals and discounts along with a journey you cannot miss," she said.
"With the festive season nearing, to book this package would be a perfect gift for 2013 as it includes 10 countries and two new ports for MSC Cruises – Ferrol in Spain and Romania's Constanta."
The 21-night cruise will be on board MSC Musica, leaving Dover on September 10, bound for Ferrol as well as the Portugal capital of Lisbon, Malaga (Spain), Tunis, Croatia's Dubrovnik and Venice for an eight-hour stay.
MSC Musica will then cruise to Katakolon in Greece, ancient Istanbul and Yalta and Odessa in the Ukraine before venturing to the new port of Constanta in Romania, Gythion in Greece and Venice.
