MSC Cruises recently opened bookings for the trans-Atlantic crossings of its 2027-28 winter season in South America.
According to a press release, the opening of sales offers passengers the opportunity to plan their vacations in advance, embarking on a repositioning voyage that sails between two continents.
The MSC Virtuosa, the MSC Divina, the MSC Splendida, the MSC Musica and the MSC Sinfonia are scheduled to return to the region for the season.
Sailing from Europe between late October and mid-November, the vessels are set to offer a series of 17- to 20-night itineraries to ports in Brazil and Argentina.
The MSC Divina will be the first to depart, kicking off an 18-night cruise to Santos from Civitavecchia on October 29, 2027.
Visiting destinations in Italy, France, Spain and Brazil, the itinerary is highlighted by stops in Barcelona, Salvador, Ilhéus and Ilha Grande.
The MSC Musica sails from Genoa a few days later, embarking on its trans-Atlantic crossing to Santos on November 6, 2027.
Before arriving at its final destination in Brazil, the 17-night cruise features visits to ports in France, Spain and Portugal, such as Marseille, Valencia and Funchal.
The MSC Sinfonia is also scheduled to offer a trans-Atlantic crossing between Genoa and Santos in early November 2027.
The 18-night itinerary is highlighted by visits to a wide range of ports of call, including Marseille, Tarragona, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Recife.
Returning to South America for its second season in the region, the MSC Virtuosa sets sail from Barcelona on November 16, 2027.
In addition to other ports of call in Spain, the 2021-built vessel is scheduled to sail to ports in Brazil, including Maceió, Salvador and Ilhabela, before arriving in Santos in early December.
