MSC Cruises has invited 20 of Australia and New Zealand’s top-performing travel partners to attend All Stars of the Sea, the cruise line’s global trade recognition event, for the first time.

The event, held annually to celebrate MSC Cruises’ most valued travel partners worldwide, will take place this year aboard the newly christened MSC World Asia. The Australian and New Zealand delegation will join more than 1,000 international travel advisors and partners on a five-night voyage from Le Havre to Barcelona, becoming among the ship’s first guests ahead of her entry into regular service.

Travellers will experience MSC World Asia‘s design, entertainment, dining and European hospitality offerings, while also taking part in a series of awards recognising outstanding achievements across categories including Best Network Agent and Best MSC Yacht Club Producer. The itinerary also includes exclusive product presentations and networking opportunities with MSC Cruises executives and travel professionals from around the world.

“Bringing our Australian and New Zealand partners to All Stars of the Sea for the very first time is a significant milestone – not just for this market, but for MSC Cruises globally,” MSC Group Cruise Division managing director of Australia & New Zealand Katrina McAlpine said. “To experience our newest ship in Europe immediately following her christening makes this an incredibly special moment.”

All Stars of the Sea recognises and celebrates MSC Cruises’ most valued travel partners from around the world, rewarding the travel advisors, agencies and partners that have demonstrated exceptional performance, commitment and partnership with the cruise line.

Just last week, MSC Cruises announced that MSC World Asia will feature the largest Venchi chocolate experience at sea.
