Free Airfare to Europe for MSC Cruises Yachtclub Guests

MSC Cruises is offering US and Canadian guests free roundtrip flights from designated gateway cities when they book MSC Yacht Club accommodations by April 30, 2009. This offer is for select 7-night Mediterranean sailings of MSC Fantasia or MSC Splendida.

MSC Yacht Club is an exclusive set of private suites and luxury facilities introduced on the line's new flagship, MSC Fantasia, and sister-ship MSC Splendida, which debuts this summer. The 88 MSC Yacht Club suites are located on the upper foredecks, offering guests expanded views from their private balconies or full-height panoramic windows.

MSC describes these suites as "designed and furnished to the highest standards." The MSC Yacht Club suites boast marble bathrooms, double or single beds with ergonomic mattresses, Egyptian cotton sheets and a choice of pillows. All suites also include sophisticated climate control, Samsung interactive TV, Wi-Fi Internet access and Nintendo Wii consoles. Two of the Deluxe Suites are fully equipped for people with disabilities.

Each suite is served by a highly trained butler, offering the morning paper, room and valet services, priority bookings for shore excursions, spa packages, front-row seats for evening performances at the ship's spectacular theater, restaurant reservations and private shopping visits. MSC Yacht Club guests also enjoy their own Concierge service, private swimming pool, bar and lounge and library as well as special access to the superb Aurea Spa center.

MSC Yacht Club also offers private dining within MSC Fantasia's immensely varied restaurants, either through 24-hour room service or in the Yacht Club's own Top Sail Lounge, where a traditional English afternoon tea is also served daily, as well as complimentary beverages in the MSC Yacht Club area.

The MSC Yacht Club Free Air promoton is available on flights from Atlanta, Boston, Chicago O'Hare, Miami, JFK, Newark, Tampa and Orlando.
