The Hamilton Travel cruise experience open weekend takes place in the Magasino Hall at the Valletta Waterfront from Friday until next Sunday. The fair will showcase opportunities to set sail with MSC Cruises.

MSC Splendida will be cruising from Malta around the Mediterranean between April and November, while clients based in Malta can fly to European ports and cruise aboard the MSC Divina, MSC Lirica, MSC Musica, MSC Opera and MSC Magnifica.

MSC Splendida sets sail from Grand Harbour. Hamilton Travel describes it as best-suited for family groups, couples, and those interested in a port-intensive cruise holiday with fellow passengers from around the world.

The luxury cruise liner will be visiting Messina, Rome, Genoa, Barcelona and Tunisia. It will depart every Wednesday between April 4 and November 14. “Clients should hurry and reserve their cabins on MSC Splendida before our magnificent Mediterranean dream vacation is all sold out,” Hamilton Travel said

Hamilton Travel is also offering fly and cruise opportunities to clients based in Malta. Clients have the unique opportunity to cruise on MSC Divina’s maiden voyage from Marseilles to Malta between May 27 and 30, visiting Rome and Messina on the way. MSC Divina will be christened in the port of Marseilles by Sophia Loren.

Maltese holidaymakers can then cruise aboard MSC Divina from Malta to Dubrovnik and Venice, before returning with Air Malta from Milan.

Other cruises with MSC Divina leave Venice in mid-to-late August, visiting Bari, Katakolon, Izmir, Istanbul,Dubrovnik and Venice.

Hamilton is also offering European cruises next year aboard the MSC Musica, MSC Opera, MSC Lirica and MSC Magnifica.
