After four years of homeporting in Havana, Cuba, MSC has announced a different deployment programme for 2019/2020 winter season with no cruise ship based in the Caribbean island due to “exceptional circumstances“, Company said.
For this reason MSC Opera weekly cruises to the western Caribbean have been cancelled to offer Mediterranean long cruises instead. The ship will homeport in Genoa and Civitavecchia, Italy to sail alternatively towards Canary Islands and Israelian port of Haifa, included in an MSC cruise for the first time since years.
