MSC Cruises has in fact recorded a real increase in recent weeks boom in bookings for the 7 charter flights organized this summer in departure from Verona airport and headed to Copenhagenwhere cruises are scheduled among the Norwegian fjords on board the flagship MSC Euribiathe latest addition to the company’s fleet.
Over 1,000 passengers, mostly Italians, have in fact already taken advantage of this type of connection which allows you to reach the cruise departure port directly from La Scala airport. If the first three flights scheduled for June and July were sold outthere are still few places available for trips scheduled for July 21st, August 4th and 18th and September 1st.
From Copenhagen Msc Euribia will offer an 8 day and 7 night itinerary that will stop in the Norwegian fjords of Hellesylt, Flam, Geranger and Moldeas well as the German port of Kiel, before returning to the Danish capital.
“The choice to schedule charter flights from Verona for passengers who have booked a cruise in Northern Europe is proving to be a winning one – declared the commercial director of MSC Crociere, Luca Valentini. The Verona hub is in fact located in a strategic position and easily accessible from all the main regions of Northern Italy and beyond, which is convincing many cruise passengers to prefer this travel solution”.
