MSC Cruises is to extend its Arabian Gulf season by repositioning MSC Bellissima from Saudi Arabia.
MSC Bellissima will take over from MSC Virtuosa and operate seven-night cruises, calling at Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sir Bani Yas, all UAE, and Doha, Qatar.
It is currently operating seven-day round-trip sailings from Jeddah. When the 4,500-passenger vessel completes its mini-season in the Arabian Gulf on June 25, it will move to the Far East and offer itineraries in Japan and China.
Virtuosa has been operating itineraries out of the United Arab Emirates since November 2021 but is scheduled to reposition to homeport Southampton in March.
The additional Arabian Gulf cruises on MSC Bellissima are now available to book.
