People book years in advance for long cruises, but not this time!
Departing Sydney on 18 March 2023, you will discover the world without having to repack your suitcase during an unforgettable voyage onboard MSC Magnifica either to Singapore or Rome.
Not only will you get to visit some of the world’s most spectacular destinations during your cruise, but you will also be able to discover the world through your palate. On top of the high-quality, international dining options that MSC Cruises’ guests have come to expect, those sailing the 2023 world cruises can experience something extra special with menus crafted by a line-up of award-winning chefs.
These chefs will join the cruises at different intervals to prepare a complete menu from three to four courses, each showcasing the very best of their respective cuisines from around the world. For example veteran Brazilian Chef and Restauranteur Allan Vila Espejo will serve a menu including authentic Manioc soup and Bahia-style fish stew with sweet peppers and coconut milk and renowned Peruvian Chef James Berckemeyer will serve a spectacular menu including Peruvian veal cheek and local caramel pudding ‘Suspiro de Lucuma’.
To further enrich your experiences MSC Cruises has also carefully crafted a special enrichment programme with everything from ice carving and champagne tasting, a wide range of guest lectures on specialist topics, more than 30 different full-scale production shows, guest entertainers plus dance classes, languages schools and more!
We know this offer is irresistible, but to put the icing on the cake, we have included just about everything: drinks with your meal, gratuities, a laundry offer and two nights stay at your final destination (Singapore or Rome). For those going all the way through to Rome, you even get five shore excursions thrown in.
You really don’t have much time to think about this. Choose between the two options below, tell your children to mind the pets and call our highly experienced reservations team straight away.

Enjoy the French-speaking elegance of New Caledonia and the laid-back friendliness of Vanuatu, where a local youth once remarked to us “why work when we can simply go catch something to eat in the forest”?
Plenty of lazy days at sea can be yours, or perhaps you will choose to laugh a lot and make new friends in the abundant eating, dining and entertainment venues onboard. Shop for those completely unnecessary sun glasses and pieces of jewellery before you catch a show.
A port stop at Alotau in Papua New Guinea will give you an insight into one of the last truly isolated and tribal nations left on earth.
Then continue your naval adventure with stops in Cairns, Darwin and several ports in Indonesia before arriving in the bustling, cosmopolitan island-city of Singapore where two nights accommodation in a beautiful 4-star hotel await, giving you time to explore at leisure, before either returning to Australia, or moving on to your next adventure.
