It seems appropriate that during the three-week royal visit to New Zealand and Australia by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and baby Prince George that MSC Cruises offers a series of celebration upgrades to its exclusive section MSC Yacht Club.

The MSC Yacht Club is ‘a ship within a ship’ with a sense of royal decadence with its exclusive and lavishly presented private lounge, pool and sun deck areas and luxurious and spaciously appointed suites with balcony or a panoramic view.

“Such upgrades represent savings of up to $1570 per person,” said Lynne Clarke, managing director of MSC Cruises Australia and New Zealand.

“And it comes with a 24-hour butler service,” she said, “along with a host of other private inclusions such as priority check-in, complimentary drinks and a la carte dining options, including a room service menu so you certainly feel like royalty.”

These amazing upgrade offers apply to seven-night and 14-night cruises of the Mediterranean and Caribbean aboard the stunning cruise ships of MSC Splendida, MSC Fantasia and/or MSC Divina . . . for selected departures between August and November this year.

So cruise like a royal and take advantage of these free upgrades will be able to cruise the Caribbean in style from $1349pp twin share for a seven-night cruise or from $3258pp twin share for a 14-night Grand Cruise – all aboard MSC Divina.

Seven-night Mediterranean cruises in MSC Yacht Club on the MSC Splendida begin at $1679pp twin share and 14-night cruises combining MSC Yacht Club aboard MSC Splendida with MSC Fantasia also include a free land transfer between the two ships from $3598pp twin share.
