The Port of Tarragona welcomes MSC Orchestra from MSC Cruises for the first time. The cruise line will make 33 calls in Tarragona during the season, eight more than last year. The Port of Tarragona is consolidating its position as one of the company's key embarkation ports in Spain, maintaining embarkations throughout the summer for the fifth consecutive year.
Fernando Pacheco, Managing Director of MSC Cruises in Spain, stated: “The presence of MSC Orchestra in the Port of Tarragona reinforces our commitment to this city, which has become a strategic hub in the Mediterranean. Tarragona offers a unique combination of accessibility, heritage, and an exceptional climate, making it a benchmark port for our passengers. We continue to work closely with local authorities to promote responsible, high-quality tourism in a region that has demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to welcome visitors since the beginning of our collaboration.”
MSC Orchestra will offer seven-night itineraries to some of the most sought-after destinations in the Mediterranean. Departing from Tarragona, the cruise will visit Valencia, Livorno, Civitavecchia (for a visit to Rome), Genoa, and Marseille. With departures every Friday, the summer itinerary from Tarragona is now available, and the last departure will be on October 23, 2026.
The MSC Orchestra , built at Chantiers de L'Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, France, can accommodate 3,223 passengers and approximately 1,300 crew members. This ship combines spacious and elegant interiors with a wide variety of bars and restaurants where guests can enjoy life on board. With 16 decks, the MSC Orchestra is equipped with a comprehensive range of technologies to minimize its impact on the air and marine environment, including hybrid exhaust gas cleaning systems that reduce sulfur oxide emissions by 98%, ballast water treatment systems, and waste management systems to reduce and recycle onboard waste.
