MSC Cruises’ MSC Meraviglia (pictured) is welcoming guests back on board for its restart in the United States.
Meraviglia is now sailing Caribbean cruises out of PortMiami, with her first cruise a four-night voyage visiting Nassau and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, where the ship will stay overnight, allowing guests an extended visit to discover MSC’s private island.
The ship will sail three- and four-night cruises for the rest of the season, and add seven-night eastern and western Caribbean sailings starting 18 Sep.
MSC Divina will join Meraviglia in the United States, sailing out of Port Canaveral from 16 Sep, and MSC Seashore, the cruise line’s newest flagship, will get in on the American fun from 18 Nov.
Meanwhile, MSC Foundation and Ba’a Foundation have joined forces to advance coral conservation to help safeguard marine ecosystems.
The partnership was announced at the maiden call event of MSC Bellissima in Jeddah last Thu (CW 02 Aug), with the two coming together to advance the practice and science of coral reef restoration, and most importantly, to disseminate the knowledge they acquire.
It will also aim to further the scientific understanding of the best practices for functional restoration of coral reefs, and increase the area of reef habitat actively restored.
The partnership will initially focus on specific locations in the Caribbean and Red seas where restoration efforts are especially needed.
