MSC Cruises will not operate
any departures from UK ports for
a year from early 2015, the line
has announced, in order to focus
on its Mediterranean programs,
which will include an increase in
fly-cruise holiday options.
The company says it is expecting
to return to the UK eventually but
that its 2015/16 deployment had
not yet been finalised.
The line’s MSC Opera, which
currently sails from Southampton,
will enter a 38-week drydock for
the line’s “renaissance program”
in mid-2015 (TD 30 Dec).
