MSC Cruises is gearing up for the 2027/2028 winter season by deploying the modern, LNG-powered MSC Euribia to the Canary Islands and Madeira. Sailing seven-night round-trips, the Meraviglia-Plus-class flagship will call at six scenic island destinations, balanced by a full day at sea. Guests will benefit from a flexible interporting concept: Alongside Santa Cruz de Tenerife, passenger boarding will also be available in Funchal, Arrecife, and Santa Cruz de La Palma, easing airport logistics and broadening regional flight options.

his deployment is part of a wider strategic fleet shuffle. Amid persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the cancellation of MSC's winter voyages in the Persian Gulf, MSC World Europa remains stationed in the Western Mediterranean. This move freed up MSC Euribia to challenge top competitors in the sunny Atlantic winter market, directly matching rival tonnage such as AIDAcosma, Costa Smeralda, and Mein Schiff Flow. Meanwhile, MSC Fantasia seamlessly takes over the Euribia's previous Mediterranean rotation, servicing popular ports including Barcelona, Marseille, and Genoa.

Delivered in 2023, MSC Euribia is ideally suited for the mild yet occasionally breezy Atlantic climate. Indoor highlights—such as the 112-meter-long Galleria Euribia beneath its massive LED sky screen and climate-controlled Magrodome pool zones—ensure an all-weather resort experience. For premium travelers, the ship offers the signature MSC Yacht Club with private suites and 24-hour butler service. Technologically, dual-fuel LNG engines and high-voltage shore power connections significantly curb emissions during port stays.

Travelers will not have to wait long to secure their winter sun escape: Following the recent fleet announcement, global sales officially open on Monday, September 28, 2026. From this date, all cabin categories, rates, and cruise-and-flight packages for the 2027/2028 winter schedule will be available for booking.
