MSC Virtuosa recently arrived in Southampton and is ready to welcome guests as cruising restarts in the UK. The newest addition to MSC Cruises’ fleet, will embark on its maiden voyage around the British Isles on May 20.

The ship will offer three- and four- night mini cruises beginning May 20 and from June 5, it will begin operating seven-night cruises.

The week-long sailings include calls at the isle of Portland, Belfast in Northern Ireland, as well as offering multiple ports of embarkation including Liverpool and Greenock, close to Glasgow, Scotland, on top of Southampton.

MSC Virtuosa’s homeport for the summer will be ABP Southampton, with whom MSC Cruises recently announced a long-term partnership. The ship will initially set sail from City Cruise Terminal, before moving to embark guests from the newly-named Horizon Cruise terminal once it has opened.
