MSC Cruises Has Just Posted the Following:
A cruise in Northern Europe is a truly magical experience. Marvel at the scenic ports of call and amazing natural landscape of the historic cities of the North - treasures in and of themselves. To experience these wondrous places, simply embark on a cruise aboard MSC Opera.
MSC Opera is a modern ship with many exciting facilities and cabins that offer the utmost comfort. It's the ideal ship for enjoying life at sea, including a varied entertainment programme as well as the wellbeing programmes on offer in the spa and the delicious cuisine - star qualities of an MSC Cruises cruise.
There are few places in the world that showcase nature in same way as the regions of the fjords. The landscape is unspoiled and imposing, so much so that it takes your breath away! Further north the midnight sun shines over the coastline of the islands, on the verdant fields and the stark plateaus of the Arctic.
Enjoy a cruise through the deep and enchanting waters of the Norwegian fjords as you travel to the North Cape. Follow the routes of the ancient Vikings to the fabled capitals of the Baltic Sea and elegant cities full of culture and traditions.
