FROM GENOA

SYDNEY

THE MAJESTY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

Follow in the wake of poets and pioneers as you sail around the Mediterranean's jewels to explore history, culture and cuisine. Departing from Genoa, the very harbour from which Christopher Columbus journeyed to America, you'll discover stately palazzos, pillowy focaccia and glorious Portofino. Then dive into the Provençal perfection of Marseille with its sumptuous seafood and rich maritime history.

The Mediterranean always means sun-kissed beaches, and Barcelona serves plenty alongside Gaudi gems and mouthwatering tapas. Skirting further around the azure Spanish coastline, the ship arrives in Malaga, a city of cosmopolitan energy, Picasso's birthplace and the gateway to Granada’s wild horses and grand Alhambra Palace.

Morocco's Casablanca and Marrakesh complete the opening leg with vibrancy and timeless charm. From the souks of the walled Medina to tasty tagines, these ancient cities will leave an indelible print on your memories. A true voyage of discovery that will inspire the imagination and feed the soul.

PORTOFINO, from Genoa

Malaga has a strong tradition of pottery making and was famed for a Hispano-Moresque style that brought together rich decoration, blue paint, gold lustre and the red clay of the local region. Interestingly, Malaga’s most famous son Pablo Picasso made around 4,000 ceramic artworks during his life but kept most of them himself. The city’s Museo Picasso was founded from donations made by some of Picasso’s family members, and ceramics from their collections form part of the museum’s exhibits.

ADVENTURE IN THE SPLENDOUR OF SOUTH AMERICA

After calling in on volcanic Cape Verde during the Atlantic crossing, the ship arrives in Brazil’s Salvador de Bahia, the soulful heart of Afro-Brazilian culture. Rio de Janeiro is next for an overnight stay in one of the world’s most beautiful harbours, so there’s plenty of time to pay homage to Christ the Redeemer, relax on Copacabana and samba into the night.

Argentina then beckons with another overnight stay beautiful Buenos Aires before visiting Port Madryn’s wildlife, witnessing the wildness of the Falklands and gazing on the snow-capped mountains of Ushuaia, earth’s most southerly town. Chile’s next, where the stunning vistas of Puerto Chacabuco and Puerto Montt and Valparaíso’s vibrancy compete for attention.

From off-the-beaten-track moments to bucket-list must-sees and natural splendour to urban sprawl, it’s a deep dive into South America’s extraordinary buzz.

DID YOU KNOW...? A PENGUIN IDYLL

The Punta Tombo nature reserve was created over forty years ago in Puerto Madryn and is now considered the best place to see penguins in Argentina. It’s home to more than half a million Magellanic penguins, one of the largest continental colonies in the world. Official trails crisscross the colony, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with the cute and characterful birds.

Brimming with beauty, this will be an unforgettable tropical adventure.

PAPEETE

DID YOU KNOW...? FLOWER OF PARADISE

The Tahitian Gardenia, or Tiare as it is known locally, is a symbol of Tahitian culture. Known for its strong fragrance and often used as an ingredient in perfumes, over 110 million flowers are harvested annually. Traditionally, the flower's petals are soaked in coconut oil to create the celebrated Monoi oil, a well-loved Tahitian beauty treatments staple. Tiare flowers are also often worn behind the ear by local men and women. If you wear a flower behind your right ear, you are considered romantically available; behind your left, you are unavailable.

It may just be minutes from the mainland, but Kangaroo Island is a down-to-earth sanctuary of calm. With a rugged coastline, breathtaking rock formations and clear waters, this haven for Australian wildlife is a zoo without fences, with more than a third of the island a conservation/national park.

Then swap the stillness of island life for the buzz of Singapore and be electrified by the old-school charm and hectic modernity of this multi-cultural gateway to Asia.

Then it's a sky-high stop in Malaysia to take in the lively markets and delicious restaurants of Kuala Lumpur and the history and charm of Penang. From there, dip your toes into the pristine waters of Phuket in Thailand to find your zen before this wide-ranging voyage through the heart of Southeast Asia wraps up with a visit to the captivating and cosmopolitan Colombo in Sri Lanka

Siddhartha Gautama was a wandering religious teacher who lived in South Asia during the sixth or fifth century BCE and founded Buddhism.

Buddha statues can be found all over the world, including a vast 147-foot white jade marble statue in Phuket and the famous Reclining Buddha Statue in Penang.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR MSC WORLD CRUISE

FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST

• Check your passport

Before departure, each cruiser is responsible for acquiring the specific identity document and any visas required for the cruise and verifying its residual validity; otherwise he or she will not be allowed to embark and no refund will be granted.

For specific information on documentation requirements, visit our website https://www.msccruises.co.uk/en-gb/

Manage-Your-Booking/Before-Departure.aspx Alternatively, please visit cibt.com.

• Apply for visas

Start doing this well in advance as the process can take months. Different countries have different requirements, so read all the paperwork carefully.

• Get vaccinated Find out which vaccinations are required for each of the countries you’ll be visiting, and talk to your doctor if you have any doubts.

• Plan your medication

If you take any medication, make sure you have enough to last for the entire cruise. Get your doctor to write out any necessary prescriptions. Take copies, and remember to bring your doctor's contact information, just in case.

• Buy travel insurance

Insurance is especially important on a world cruise. Get a cruise-specific policy, and make sure it includes full medical evacuation coverage.

• Organise your money

Inform your bank and credit card company of your travel plans so they won’t freeze your cards when you use them abroad. You won’t need to carry lots of different currencies with you, and you should be able to withdraw money locally, but do bring some cash for emergencies.

PLAN TO STAY IN TOUCH

• Organise communication

Make sure you can call, text or video chat from your mobile devices. That may mean downloading some new apps or changing your cellphone plan.

• Be aware of internet limitations

Please note that satellite internet performance onboard a ship is not like using a high-speed broadband connection ashore. It relies on satellite links and therefore may at times be significantly slower. It may also be interrupted by interference depending on the weather conditions.

• Bring an address book

You may want to send postcards, so bring a list of friends’ and family's postal addresses, in printed form as well as on your phone or computer.

• Don’t forget your home

Give someone a key to your home and ask them to check up regularly while you’re away. You may want to consider getting a house sitter.

• Just in case…

Make sure people at home know how to reach you in the unlikely event of an emergency.

be enough. Study the weather in the areas you'll be visiting and pack appropriately. If you plan on doing a lot of souvenir shopping, you might want to bring an empty suitcase or expandable bag.

• Don't pack too much formalwear

For women, three long dresses and a few elegant shorter dresses is plenty. For men, a tuxedo, a couple of suits and a jacket should suffice.

• Bring an e-reader or tablet

You can save space in your luggage by bringing your holiday reading in electronic format. But don’t forget, there’s also a large library on board.

• Protect your memories

You don’t want to risk losing your precious holiday memories so take some precautions. Pack a spare battery and charger for your camera, and ideally bring a back-up camera too. Bring some high-capacity memory cards and make sure you have enough memory on your computer to download all your photos. And take a small waterproof zip-lock bag with you to protect your camera when going ashore.

ENJOY YOUR TIME AT SEA

• Spa treatments

You may want to start thinking about the health and beauty treatments you can enjoy in the ship's sumptous spa. And remember, you can save by booking in advance.

• Sports and fitness

There are lots of ways to stay in shape on board, from working out in the panoramic gym to playing tennis or table tennis. So don't forget to pack some clothes suitable for exercising.

• Enrichment programme

Take the opportunity to absorb new knowledge and learn new skills. Choose from lectures on local history and culture, dance lessons, cookery classes, arts & crafts workshops and much more.

• Plan your shore excursions

Identify any tours you want to take in addition to those already included in your fare. Book early to save money and avoid the disappointment of finding them fully booked. Then do some research on the other ports of call and work out what you might want to do in each one.

• Set yourself a goal

PACK LIKE A PROFESSIONAL

• Don’t go overboard on luggage!

Two large suitcases and a carry-on bag per person should

During days at sea you'll have plenty of free time to spend as you please, so why not use some of it to achieve something special? You could learn a language, knit a sweater or write a novel!
