MSC's New Balearic Bliss

Bask on beautiful beaches and go wild in famous clubs with MSC' unique new itinerary - from just £599 per person, including flights

With seven days of stunning sights, beautiful beaches and legendary Balearic beats, MSC Orchestra’s 2013 summer cruises are the perfect formula for sun worshippers seeking the very best of the Balearic Islands and other top Mediterranean spots. With fly-cruise prices starting from just £599 per person, there has never been a better opportunity to experience the best of the Balearics.

From 14 June to 18 October 2013, MSC Orchestra will depart every Friday from Genoa on a diverse western Mediterranean itinerary spanning the magnificent monuments of Rome and Palermo to the Balearic beaches of Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza, as well as the charming old town of Villefranche-sur-Mer on the French Riviera.

Specially tailored to include Spain’s famous party islands and their mythical day-to-night transformation, the itinerary includes an overnight call in Palma de Mallorca and a day and night in Ibiza. Travellers can explore these popular night spots on their own or make the most of organized excursions such as Ibiza Sunset, a trip to the celebrated sunset strip and world-famous Café del Mar for a spectacular sundown, or Playa D’en Bossa By Night, for an unforgettable evening with the international party crowd at famous nightclubs Space, Ushuaia and Bora Bora.

During the day, travellers can bask on popular beaches or enjoy Ibiza’s lesser known scenic and cultural spots; the quaint villages, quiet coves and local markets which reveal another face of the island. An excursion to neighbouring Formentera is another great option, for a visit to the charming town of Es Pujols and the soft, white sands of an island known for the ravishing beauty of its coastline.

Additional highlights include Italy’s stunning capital city, Rome, the beautiful treasure-trove of palaces, castles and churches to be discovered in Palermo, and the fabulous Côte d'Azur region of the French Riviera, including Nice and Monaco, just a short journey away from Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Between the calls of this incredibly varied itinerary, travellers will enjoy the fantastic leisure and entertainment facilities on board MSC Orchestra, including swimming pools, state-of-the-art fitness centre, and Bali concept MSC Aurea Spa, or carry on the party in the ship’s bars, lounges and the R32 disco.
