MSC Cruises updates its 2022/2023 winter program with different itineraries, which will be:
- MSC Virtuosa will replace MSC Preziosa in Northern Europe, offering the "Northern Pearl" cruise, a fairly new winter itinerary introduced in 2021. These 7-night cruises will call at Hamburg, Germany; Zeebrugge to visit Bruges and Brussels in Belgium; Rotterdam in the Netherlands; Le Havre to visit Paris, France; and Southampton to visit London in the UK.
- MSC Preziosa will now be based in Santos, Brazil, and will offer a variety of mini-cruises and 7-night cruises, including stops in Uruguay and Argentina, as well as cruises with a stop in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil—perfect for celebrating New Year's and the February Carnival. MSC Preziosa's season will conclude with a 22-night Grand Voyage sailing from Santos and Rio de Janeiro to Northern Europe in the summer of 2023.
- MSC Bellissima will replace its sister ship MSC Virtuosa in the Mediterranean, where it will offer 7-night cruises embarking in Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, and stopping at the Italian ports of Genoa, La Spezia and Naples; and Marseille, in France.
