Cruisene kan kombineres som 14, 21 eller 28 netter i både det østlige og vestlige Middelhavet. Reisen inkluderer eventuell busstransport mellom skipene, bagasjeoppbevaring, opptil tre utvalgte utflukter samt prioritert innsjekking og rabatt på vaskeritjenester på skipet – alt for å gjøre ferien så enkelt og praktisk som mulig. - Dette er en unik mulighet til å oppdage flere av Middelhavets perler på en enkel og praktisk måte, for eksempel ved å kombinere to cruise i det østlige og vestlige Middelhavet, sier Claes Tamm, administrerende direktør i MSC Cruises i Scandinavia. I MSC Cruises ser man en økt interesse for lengre og mer omfattende cruisereiser. MSC Grand Tours gir de reisende en fleksibel mulighet til å forlenge reisen og oppdage enda flere destinasjoner i Middelhavet i en perfekt kombinasjon av sol, bading og storbyferie.
