Crystal adds to shore-side excursions
CRYSTAL Cruises has added ‘You Care, We Care’ shore excursions
to its offering. Crystal Adventures ashore – complimentary for
guests – allows participants to engage in the humanitarian and
conservational activities of organisations throughout the world.
Destinations include New Victoria, Santa Barbara, Dubrovnik,
Barcelona, St. Peter Port and Puerto Limon. The ‘You Care, We
Care’ Crystal Adventures will be offered on more than two dozen of
Crystal’s 2015 worldwide sailings. Complete excursion and sailing
details can be found on Crystal’s Shore Excursion Finder tool.
MSC Cruises increases capacity in eastern Med
MSC Cruises is deploying extra capacity in the eastern
Mediterranean this year due to demand. The 2 550-passenger
MSC Poesia and the 2 518-passenger MSC Magnifica will
homeport in Venice between May and November, calling at Bari or
Brindisi, Katakolon, Izmir, Istanbul and Dubrovnik. They will replace
MSC Preziosa (3 502 passengers), which currently sails these
routes alone, but will switch to a western Mediterranean itinerary
from Genoa.
