MSC Cruises has confirmed that the MSC Euribia has departed Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, has safely transited the Strait of Hormuz and is now en route to Northern Europe.

The passage was completed in close coordination with the relevant authorities, the company said.

The Euribia is on course to resume her Northern Europe season, and as the ship will now be able to arrive sooner than previously anticipated, MSC Cruises has confirmed that the ship’s cruise due to depart on May 16 from Kiel, Germany and on May 17 from Copenhagen, Denmark will operate as originally scheduled, with all subsequent sailings operating as planned.

Guests whose MSC Euribia cruises were cancelled will have the option to transfer their booking to this sailing should they wish and will be contacted directly with further details starting on April 19.
