MSC Cruises is giving away a seven-night holiday for two adults on MSC Virtuosa, departing from Southampton on June 11, 2022, and sailing to the Norwegian fjords.
With an easy embarkation at Southampton, you’ll spend a day at sea exploring what the ship has to offer: from the MSC Starship Club that features a bar manned by Rob, the only robotic bartender at sea, to the longest LED Dome on the ocean sitting overhead an indoor promenade of shops, restaurants and beautiful boutiques. Plus you’ll find five pools, a spa and many other facilities, and you can sleep easy knowing it’s one of the most environmentally friendly ships at sea with energy efficiency measures and much-reduced emissions.
Once you reach Norwegian shores, some of the highlights include stopping off at Hellesylt, a tiny town on the edge of the magnificent Geiranger fjord. There, you can journey up the Eagle Route towards the Seven Sisters Waterfall, enjoying impressive views across the fjord on the way. Alternatively, visit the Briksdal glacier, the subject of much scientific study thanks to its unusual erosion patterns, which is bounded by a picturesque glacial lake.
Next, it’s a scenic journey through the Sognefjord, the longest of all the Norwegian fjords, to Flåm, tucked away amid the forested mountains. Take the famous train journey from Flåm to Kjosfossen on the Bergen line for views across these verdant natural landscapes, full of deep gorges, plunging waterfalls and tiny little mountain farms clinging on to the sides of the slopes.
The ship then heads south to Kristiansand, full of art galleries and striking architecture, before returning to the UK.
Enjoy MSC Cruises’ all-inclusive offer
If the journey has whetted your appetite, then you’re in luck – because MSC Cruises is also throwing in its new all-inclusive drinks package. The line is giving guests the most hassle-free holiday experience possible by offering all-inclusive drinks packages across many itineraries in the Caribbean, United Arab Emirates, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, so they can plan their spending ahead of their holiday.
The drinks package will also be available on all cruises sailing from Southampton this year when booked by March 31, including MSC Magnifica until April, and 20 sailings on MSC Virtuosa from April to October, as part of the line’s commitment to base a ship in the UK year-round.
So all you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the view.

I’ll definitely be entering this one. This sort of cruise has been on my bucket list for a long time.
I’d always associated spectacular views with a fjords cruise. Reading this has reminded me that you also get off the ship for some spectacular excursions.
This cruise sounds wonderful and luxurious with spectacular views with a train journey too and would love to try the whole experience fabulous idea with robotic assistance too
