Hamilton Travel (Malta) have been appointed exclusive agents of Mediterranean Shipping Company Cruises, the foremost luxury cruise liners company which is organising week-long Mediterranean cruises leaving and returning to Malta from May 28 through September 27 next year.
Hamilton Travel has been chosen by MSC Cruises after it booked thousands of passengers from Malta and Gozo on various Mediterranean cruises for the last few summers.
The cruises leaving Malta weekly on the luxury liner Rhapsody will visit Naples, Genoa, Ibiza, St Tropez, Nice, Cannes and Tunisia.
The contract was signed in Naples by Norman Hamilton, managing director of Hamilton Travel, with Dr Antonio De Rosa and Dr Domenico Pellegrino, managing director and sales manager for MSC Cruises (Italy) respectively.
MSC Cruises uniquely blends maritime traditions, culture and famous Italian cuisine to deliver the ultimate cruise experience while displaying a real commitment to the finest hospitality afloat. MSC Cruises has made true Italian service the heart of its business and its key point of differentiation in the cruise industry.
The cruises leave Malta every Wednesday. The Rhapsody, with her fun and easy style of cruising, makes her perfect for lively Mediterranean itineraries. Clients savour classic Italian hospitality in tastefully furnished and airconditioned cabins.
While cruising between the various ports of call, passengers can enjoy a stroll on deck, enjoy a barbecue lunch and then soak up the sunshine, bask in the whirlpools or take a dip in the swimming pool.
After a sumptuous dinner the nightlife glitters as clients watch the evening's cabaret spectacular, try their hand at a game of blackjack or roulette in the casino, or dance to the rhythm of live band or dance the night away in the disco. "This is a unique opportunity for Maltese holiday makers who would like to have a holiday of a lifetime aboard a luxury cruise-liner", Mr Hamilton said.
As General Sales Agents for MSC Cruises, Hamilton Travel will also be accepting individual bookings and have negotiated special prices for honeymooners on MSC's other luxury liners Lirica, a brand new super luxury liner due to be launched in April, as well as proven favourites like the Monterey and Melody.
Hamilton Travel, which this year celebrated its tenth anniversary in the travel business, was recently given the Top International Agent Award in Dubai and the Gold Award by Carnival Cruises.
