MSC Cruises is strengthening its presence in the city of Malaga, which will be a port of embarkation next year. The MSC Splendida, with a capacity for 3,247 passengers and more than 1,300 crew members, will depart from Malaga from September 24 to November 5, 2020. During this period, Malaga will be a port of embarkation on five occasions.
First, this ship will call at Genoa on September 24th, as part of its repositioning itinerary from Northern Europe to the Western Mediterranean. Then, from September 30th to November 5th, residents of Malaga will have the opportunity to embark on a comprehensive Mediterranean cruise, visiting Casablanca, Lisbon, Barcelona, Marseille, and Genoa, with 10-day round-trip itineraries.
With this announcement, the cruise company, the world's largest privately owned cruise line and a market leader in Europe, South America, and South Africa, reinforces its key commitment to the city, where other ships from the company will also call over the next 12 months. In addition to the MSC Splendida, the MSC Opera, MSC Poesia, and MSC Preziosa will have a significant presence in the port of Malaga, making regular calls both this winter and during the 2020 summer season.
In addition to these ships with regular stops as part of their Mediterranean itineraries, five other MSC Cruises vessels will also make occasional visits to Málaga throughout the coming year. In total, it is estimated that some 80,000 MSC Cruises passengers will disembark in the city. This will have a very positive economic impact on tourism in the area, as MSC Cruises anticipates that its passengers will spend a total of more than €4 million here, according to CLIA's average spending per cruise passenger data.
