Catch the winter sun
When winter hits and the temperatures drop, who wouldn’t yearn for a serene escape to a tropical paradise? Ditch the winter wardrobe and replace it with swimwear perfect for lounging on the sundeck while sipping on a cocktail or embark on an adventure to iconic landmarks like the George Washington House and the Old Garrison Tunnels. For those looking to bring back a little something home for those missing out on the sun, browse your way through Cheapside Street Market for unique locally sourced trinkets.
Cruise to your coastal sanctuary
Barbados is celebrated for its serene ambiance, making it the ultimate destination for relaxation. For an exclusive beach experience, visit Archers Bay, a secluded haven perfect for sunbathing and serene picnics. Prefer a more pampered escape? Indulge in a luxurious wellness experience at the MSC Aurea Spa on board the ship, where you can enjoy treatments and pampering that make you feel like a star.
Delight in local gourmet delicacies
Indulge in the vibrant, fresh flavours of Barbados, beginning with the island’s iconic dish: crispy fried flying fish served with delectable Cou Cou. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a refreshing rum punch—Barbados, renowned for its centuries-old rum, offers the perfect sip of tradition. Unwind on your balcony, take in the stunning views of Bridgetown’s pristine beaches and colourful architecture, and savour every moment with your drink in hand.
The luxury experience
You don’t need a celebrity budget to enjoy the pinnacle of luxury. MSC Cruises invites you to experience the same level of glamour and exclusivity that attracts stars to Barbados with the MSC Yacht Club. This private and exclusive area of the ship, a ‘ship within a ship’, is entirely dedicated to luxury and comfort and features its own pools, suites, restaurants and bars. Revel in unparalleled personalised service like a 24/7 butler and dedicated concierge or select your perfect pillow from a menu of options.
Enjoy private venues like a gourmet restaurant, lounge, pool, and sundeck, plus all-inclusive premium drinks. Families will also find endless excitement that the rest of the ship offers with kids’ clubs dedicated to children and teenagers of different age groups and an aquapark, ensuring a memorable cruise for all ages.
