MSC Cruises has revealed that for the first time, guests travelling in the MSC Yacht Club will have the opportunity to book a carefully curated selection of exclusive shore excursions so that they can discover new places, new cultures and new people, immersing themselves fully in the destinations they visit.
The MSC Yacht Club is MSC Cruises “ship-within-a-ship” concept offering added privacy and exclusivity to elegant suites in a keycard-access area of the ship.
Offering its guests added luxury in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere, this exclusive area provides dedicated facilities, with its own sundeck and pool, restaurant and lounge, as well as personalized service, such as the 24-hour butler and concierge desk.
Available on many of MSC Cruises’ ships, the MSC Yacht Club offers its guests a secluded retreat while allowing them to enjoy the countless facilities and entertainment possibilities available throughout the rest of the ship.
In keeping with the MSC Yacht Club experience, the cruise line has now introduced more than 90 specially designed MSC Yacht Club shore excursions in various ports in the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Northern Europe, with more to come in other regions later this year.
Providing even more exclusivity, the excursions run with only small groups, enabling guests to explore their destinations more intimately.
From the MSC Yacht Club, guests will have priority disembarkation and then move into private transportation for extra comfort during travel, ensuring a feeling of relaxation with all the details taken care of.
Whether guests want to try their hand at making their own personalised eau de cologne at one of oldest perfumeries in Southern France, indulge in authentic Greek cuisine on board a private catamaran in Santorini, or relax in a secluded cabana in tropical Jamaica, guests will have a multitude of meticulously crafted experiences to choose from.
The experiences fall into a number of categories to suit all guests tastes and range from authentic culinary experiences to learning about local artistry to visiting architectural treasures or getting involved in upscale adventure activities.
MSC Cruises Head of Shore Excursions, Marialuisa Iaccarino, said: “The new offering has come following customer feedback and a desire for a more exclusive experience for MSC Yacht Club guests. Guests will benefit from a seamless experience between the butlers’ service onboard and the excursion experts ashore as well as having the opportunity to relax and fully immerse themselves into each destination’s culture, cuisine and traditions.”
The excursions are now bookable for MSC Yacht Club guests in advance, online, through the MSC Cruises contact centre or through the booking travel agent, or on board through the MSC For Me app (where available), MSC Yacht Club concierge service or Shore Excursions desk.
