MSC Orchestra to wow down under

Australians will experience cruise history this March, when the world-class MSC Orchestra arrives in the country for the first time.

The internationally acclaimed vessel boasts 1275 cabins and luxurious amenities – including the Palm Beach Casino, the Convent Garden Theatre, the authentic Balinese Spa, MSC Aurea Spa, a gym and pool facilities.

Launched for the first time on 14 May 2007, MSC Orchestra will wow six Australian cities in March – offering visitors a unique blend of design, comfort and luxury.

“MSC Orchestra is one of the finest ships in our fleet, and we’re especially excited to share this with Australians and New Zealanders,” MSC Cruises Australia & New Zealand’s managing director Lynne Clarke said.

“The arrival of MSC Orchestra on Australian shores indicates the ever-increasing standards of cruise providers in the Asia-Pacific region.”

MSC Orchestra will arrive in Australia on 13 March 2015, with the following scheduled port dates:

Cairns: 13 March

Brisbane: 15 March

Sydney: 17 March

Melbourne: 20 March

Adelaide: 22 March

Perth/Fremantle: 26 March

“We want all of our guests to experience just how good the MSC experience can be – and it doesn’t get much better than MSC Orchestra,” Clarke added.

MSC Orchestra has 13 decks for guests to enjoy and three different on-board bars to choose from. Families travelling with children will also be happy to learn that there are dedicated areas for both young children and teenagers available.
