MSC Cruises reports record bookings in October

MSC Cruises has reported a record-breaking month, with the line taking more bookings in October than it has ever had for one month in its history.

Nearly 400,000 passenger bookings were taken for winter 2022/23 and summer 2023 itineraries across the line’s fleet, with strong showings for its new flagship MSC World Europa, the soon to be delivered MSC Seascape and MSC Euribia, which is due to enter service next year.

Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises, said: “October has been the strongest month for bookings in the entire history of our brand.

“This reflects the continued strong investments made in our fleet, which is one of the most modern in the industry, with five new state-of-the-art vessels delivered in the last three years alone and more than any other brand since 2017.

“Consumers are also flocking to our offering due to the excellent value for money all-inclusive holiday proposition cruises represent at all times, but especially at this juncture.

“We are seeing a strong demand with an extended horizon in the medium to longer term to such an extent that guests and travel agent partners are starting to close bookings now to avoid the frustration of not being able to find the perfect holiday option for themselves or their clients in a few months.”
