A different kind of Christmas sailing the seas with MSC Cruises

The company organizes special activities for younger guests, from a flash mob to a talent show.
For MSC Cruises, the Christmas holidays are among the most important times of the year, days of celebration where family, and especially children, are the true stars.
MSC Cruises wants to share the magic of Christmas with all its guests through a variety of activities, such as a Christmas Costume Parade – with the DoReMi family – a Family Disco, a Teen Talent Show, a flash mob , and a Christmas Ball.
Additionally, to continue enjoying the warm and welcoming atmosphere of this time of year, weekly shows for families will be held, featuring dancers and artists, as well as cooking classes for parents and children, led by the Mini Club Chef and DoReMi.
Arriving from distant, cold Lapland, Santa Claus will step off his sleigh and board MSC Cruises, where he will personally deliver gifts from LEGO and Chicco to all the children. Children and teenagers in the Mini Club and Juniors Club will also be able to watch a short film produced by MSC Cruises about Santa's arrival on board.
This year, the Christmas and New Year's menus will be created by the prestigious chef Carlo Cracco, holder of two Michelin stars. Among the dishes served on board during this period are saffron risotto with salmon roe and parsley, lobster tail au gratin with spinach, pine nuts, and raisins, and caramelized top shoulder of beef with citrus, celery, and pomegranate.
MSC Cruises offers the best Christmas and New Year's cruises, so its guests can experience holidays they will remember for a lifetime. To end 2015 or ring in 2016, travelers can embark on the newly renovated MSC Opera and discover the new route to Cuba. In fact, MSC Cruises will be the world's first cruise line based in Havana, with itineraries to Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Mexico, and two nights in the Cuban capital. Another option is to travel aboard MSC Musica on an 8-day, 7-night tour of the United Arab Emirates, with the possibility of embarking in either Dubai (Saturdays) or Abu Dhabi (Sundays), with flights included from Barcelona and Madrid. Furthermore, MSC Musica passengers will be able to enjoy spectacular fireworks that will make New Year's Eve an even more special evening.
