MSC Cruises says MSC Euribia has safely transited the Strait of Hormuz and is now en route to Northern Europe, following earlier uncertainty tied to regional tensions.

The company confirmed the ship departed Dubai and completed its passage “in close coordination with the relevant authorities.”

With the vessel returning sooner than anticipated, MSC says its Northern Europe program is now back on track. The May 16 sailing from Kiel, along with the May 17 departure from Copenhagen, will operate as originally scheduled, with all subsequent cruises proceeding as planned.

Guests impacted by earlier cancellations will have the option to transfer their bookings to the May 16/17 sailing. MSC says affected passengers will be contacted directly with further details.
