MSC Cruises is inviting guests to plan their perfect holiday while embracing the unexpected with 23 modern ships visiting over 300 destinations worldwide in 2026.
The cruise line has launched a new global campaign which highlights what makes MSC Cruises unique, from authentic culinary experiences, spectacular international entertainment for all ages and an unparalleled choice of destinations and embarkation points to discover, while also highlighting that true magic lives in the unplanned moments.
The new campaign, developed in partnership with McCANN – the world’s leading advertising agency network behind some of the most creative and commercially impactful campaigns globally – features a reinterpretation of the iconic Jackson 5 track “ABC.”
This new version includes newly written lyrics that highlight the breadth of experiences and services offered on board MSC Cruises. Energetic, joyful, and instantly recognisable, the music reinforces the line’s spirit of discovery, warmth, and hospitality, while reimagining a globally loved hit in a way that aligns seamlessly with the campaign’s spirit.
From unexpectedly spotting marine life while sipping coffee on the balcony to meeting new friends over dinner or finding their inner child at the Aquapark, MSC Cruises ensures that guests are well taken care of with warm hospitality, leaving them more time to enjoy the best moments – those that are often never planned.
Food and beverage
From elegant main restaurants, quality international dining concepts and speciality restaurants to relaxed buffet experiences, MSC Cruises caters to every taste with unique and authentic gastronomic experiences. MSC Cruises invites guests to explore the world through flavour, with traditional favourites like fresh, homemade pizza to sumptuous flavours found in the likes of Kaito Teppanyaki or Holas! Tacos and Cantina.
From expertly crafted cocktails and freshly roasted coffee to a full-scale microbrewery at sea, featuring an exclusive range of signature beers brewed from desalinated seawater, here’s a perfect drink and lounge for every moment on board. Yet the true highlight of dining at sea with MSC Cruises isn’t just the exceptional beverages or culinary experiences, it is the unexpected connections that are made over the dinner table, creating bonds and new friendships among guests that will continue long after the holiday is over.
Entertainment

The carefully crafted worldly entertainment options go beyond the outstanding stage shows each evening with live music and performances, enriching activities, gameshows, pop-up events and more, allowing guests to pack in as much or as little as they like.
