MSC Cruises has launched its summer season in Northern Europe, with the departure of the MSC Seaview from the German port of Kiel.

This is the seventh MSC Cruises ship to resume sailing with guests on board, and three more are preparing to embark on future voyages, which will see half of the fleet return to sea by the end of the summer. .

The ship will operate several seven-night cruises in the Baltic Sea.

MSC Seaview will have its home port in Kiel until early October and the ship will welcome German and international guests for an attractive route to Visby on one of Sweden’s largest islands Gotland, Nynäshamn near the Swedish capital of Stockholm and the capital of Estonia Tallinn before returning to her German base.

Another German port will be added to the MSC Seaview’s itinerary to further enrich the cruise for guests.

The ship will call at Warnemunde from July 23, allowing guests to embark and disembark while providing another option for shore excursions.

At the mouth of the Warnow river, on the Baltic Sea, in Warnemunde, this former fishing village and popular seaside resort surprises with its charm and its wide white sandy beach.

You can also visit Rostock and Berlin, the bustling German capital.

The weekend also saw Marseille added to the West Mediterranean itinerary of MSC Seaview’s sister ship, MSC Seaside, the first French port to reopen for the cruise line and welcome international guests for weekly stopovers.

Five MSC Cruises ships currently sail in the Mediterranean: MSC Grandiosa MSC Seaside, MSC Orchestra, MSC Splendida and MSC Magnifica.

A sixth ship, MSC Virtuosa, has only been cruising across the UK for UK passengers since May 20.

From August 2, MSC Meraviglia will resume Caribbean cruises from Miami and return to the region on September 18, when MSC Divina resumes sailing from Port Canaveral near Orlando, Florida.
