MSC Cruises is encouraging Canadians to lock in their 2026 summer vacations early, highlighting flexible booking policies, Fly & Cruise packages and the ability to pre-book experiences in Canadian dollars.

The cruise line says its summer offering is designed to provide a more seamless vacation experience, with bundled options that combine accommodations, dining, entertainment and transportation support into a single booking.

MSC is positioning its Fly & Cruise program as a key selling point for Canadian travellers, with departures from major Canadian gateways and 24/7 travel support included. The program also guarantees guests will arrive at the ship in time for departure.

For seven-night Caribbean sailings from La Romana, the cruise line has introduced bundled packages that include flights, transfers and a pre-bookable Easy Drinks Package.

Additional Fly & Cruise options are expected to launch soon for Canadians sailing aboard the MSC World Europa on winter itineraries departing from Fort-de-France and Pointe-à-Pitre.

The company is also emphasizing price transparency for Canadians by allowing guests to pre-book onboard experiences, including shore excursions, specialty dining and spa treatments, in Canadian dollars.

MSC says its fares include full-board dining, nightly entertainment, pools, waterparks, fitness facilities and family programming. Cabin categories range from inside staterooms to balcony cabins and family-friendly connecting rooms.

The cruise line is also promoting its flexible booking policy. Guests who book Fantastica, Aurea or Yacht Club experiences can make one free cruise change up to 30 days before departure, provided the new sailing departs within 90 days of the original booking date.

Shore excursions continue to be a major focus for the company, with MSC Cruises noting that excursions booked directly through the cruise line come with onboard support and flexible cancellation policies.

For guests sailing in the MSC Yacht Club, the line says exclusive excursions led by local guides are also available in select destinations.
