MSC Cruises has always offered great value for money, with children up to the age of 18 cruising for free, when sharing a cabin with two adults, paying port taxes, flights and transfers only (where applicable). 

Now MSC Cruises offer even more, with the launch of its new all inclusive beverage package, available on all MSC ships, allowing passengers to enjoy free drinks on board, available from all restaurants, the self service buffet, bars and the cabin mini bar. 

To help celebrate the launch of these amazing packages, MSC Cruises is offering, for the month of March, these inclusive packages for free, with all balcony cabins booked this month on sister ships MSC Splendida and MSC Fantasia (offer ends 31 March 2010). 

The packages include select wines by the bottle and by the glass, beer, cocktails, soft drinks, mini bar (excluding champagne), ice-cream and water (at restaurants and the buffet). 

Prices start from £999 pp including fly/cruise and all inclusive drinks package (based on April and November 2010 departures on MSC Splendida and April and October 2010 sailings on MSC Fantasia).  

Oliviero Morelli, MSC Cruises Product and Operation Director for UK and Ireland comments, ‘The MSC Cruises’ all inclusive beverage package has been created to offer even more value for our guests. For a set price our passengers can enjoy free food, beverages and entertainment. There’s no better time to book an MSC Cruises holiday and see more of the world without breaking the bank!’

 The all inclusive beverage packages offered onboard are available on all MSC cruises booked all year. 

The itineraries included in the MSC March 2010 offer include:

MSC Splendida on all seven night Mediterranean cruises, departing from March to November 2010, sailing to France, Spain, Tunisia, Malta and Italy.
