MSC Cruises has launched its Summer 2027 Fly & Cruise programme to the Mediterranean, with packages starting from £999 per person. The price includes return flights, hold luggage, return transfers and a full board cruise with all onboard entertainment included, and bookings opened on 13 May 2026.
Families can fly out from several regional UK airports. Jet2 flies from Manchester to Barcelona or Rome, from Edinburgh to Rome or Naples, and from Belfast to Palma. Aer Lingus flies from Dublin to Barcelona or Rome.
Once onboard, guests will visit Mediterranean destinations including Genoa, known for its Renaissance palaces, Marseille, home to an open-air museum, and Marmaris, with its Grand Bazaar. A 7-night Fly & Cruise holiday from Manchester to Barcelona on MSC Fantasia, taking in Ibiza, Cagliari, Civitavecchia (Rome), Livorno and Cannes, starts from £999 and departs on 15 or 22 April 2027.
All Fly & Cruise packages are ATOL protected, and guests only need to put down a low deposit of £100 per person to book.
Antonio Paradiso, VP of International Sales at MSC Cruises, said demand for Mediterranean holidays is strong, and that the Fly & Cruise packages are popular because they bundle flights, luggage, transfers and the cruise into one seamless booking. A drinks package can be added from £28 per person per night, and MSC will also “status match” other cruise loyalty schemes, letting new customers join the MSC Voyagers Club at a similar or higher level than their current status for extra savings and onboard benefits.
Free balcony upgrade for Winter 2026/27
Families travelling this winter can also take advantage of a free balcony upgrade, paying only the price of an Ocean View cabin on a wide range of sailings across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Northern Europe and the Far East. Prices start from £499 for a 6-night cruise to the Bahamas and Caribbean in a Balcony cabin on MSC Meraviglia, departing 13 December 2026.
Both offers can be booked at www.msccruises.co.uk.
