MSC Cruises has unveiled a new itinerary for MSC Orchestra for this winter, after the ship’s Red Sea cruises programme was axed.

The ship will now offer seven-night round-trip voyages from Valencia, between 16 December 2023 to 19 April 2024.

The programme calls at Cagliari in Sardinia; Civitavecchia, Livorno, Florence, Marseille and Palma, before returning to Valencia.

Last week, MSC also said it was cancelling MSC Sinfonia’s programme from 12 November 2023 to 15 April 2024, as the highlight of the itinerary was Haifa in Israel.

An alternative itinerary for MSC Sinfonia has not yet been announced.
