MSC Splendida

OFTEN disadvantaged by surcharges, solo cruise passengers can book one of a number of exciting “singles specials” from MSC Cruises with savings of up to $1600.

Plan one of two 14-night back-to-back Mediterranean cruise itineraries next year and price starts at $1708 a cabin – or $122 a night.

Meanwhile, a 14-night Northern Europe cruise from Copenhagen from late May, 2012, starts at $2268.

“We are delighted to offer these very special prices for our very special singles,” said Lynne Clarke, managing director of MSC Cruises Australia and New Zealand.

“Don’t expect the pay the supplement and the cabin is yours, on your own,” she said. “And as with all our cruises, main meals and entertainment are included.”

The starting price of $1708 applies to booking an inside cabin for two 14-night departures in late September and mid-October, cruising aboard the yet-to-launched MSC Divina and the equally impressive MSC Splendida.

The initial seven-night cruise begins and ends in Venice, visiting such fascinating ports as Dubrovnik, Istanbul and Izmir. A coach transfer from Venice to Genoa follows for the second leg to Barcelona, Tunis, Malta’s Valletta, Messina, and Civitavecchia (Rome).

For solo passengers who want to take an earlier cruise, a 14-night itinerary (from May 17, 2012) with back-to-back cruises aboard MSC Musica and MSC Fantasia starts at $2198.
