Summer is fast approaching, yet many travellers still haven’t decided on where they will be going in a few weeks. MSC Cruises is therefore inviting everyone to experience what they call the Best Holiday Ever, an “all-in-one travel experience at great value, with no added fuel surcharges”.
Due to the crisis in the Middle East, the first months of the year have been chaotic, not the least for the travel industry. The rising fuel costs have increased the price of many a flight ticket, routes have been cancelled, and people have been wondering whether or not they should go ahead and plan their summer holiday. As a result, with only a month to go before the start of July, many people across the Benelux still haven’t booked their next vacation.
With that in mind, MSC Cruises is inviting travellers to experience the Best Holiday Ever. Although cruises were once a niche kind of holiday, over the past few years, they have turned into an increasingly popular choice, with a public that has become younger and more family-oriented.
By offering “a seamless, all-in-one travel experience designed to make getting away easier and more enjoyable than ever, at great value, and with the peace of mind of no added fuel surcharges”, MSC Cruises is trying to reinforce that trend in 2026, in a year where many travellers are looking for certainty.
“A cruise combines, in an all-inclusive package, the chance to discover new destinations with a high-quality holiday experience on board. Fine dining, comfort, well-being, activities for young and old, and top-class entertainment all play a central role. This package offers exceptional value for money, which is its main selling point. And this is certainly true in a climate of economic uncertainty,” says Frank Van den Steen, Country Manager Benelux at MSC Cruises.
Peace of mind
According to MSC Cruises, their holidays offer unbeatable value. With everything from full-board dining and action-packed aquaparks to a wide range of entertainment options and fitness facilities included in a cruise package, travellers know exactly how much they will pay for their holiday while booking. That is underlined by the fact that the cruise line will not be introducing a fuel surcharge in 2026, despite the global tendencies. Meanwhile, the multitude of cabin types, shore excursions, and cruise routes offer something for everyone’s taste and budget.
For those who are looking to make their cruise even more secure, MSC Cruises’ Fly & Cruise packages bring together flights, transfers, and a cruise into one coordinated, protected holiday. However, those who prefer to depart closer to home can likely also opt to do so thanks to the large number of itineraries.
The MSC Cruises Fantactica, Aurea, and Yacht Club experiences go even further by allowing guests to make a free cruise change, meaning they can change to another departure within 90 days of the original date with no fees up to 30 days before departure. Especially when combined with the cruise line’s travel insurance, it offers the ultimate peace of mind in a hectic world.
