More Ways to Save Money at MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises has built a loyalty programme that actually rewards you, plus bundle deals that make sense for your wallet. Whether you're planning your first cruise or you're a seasoned sailor, these savings strategies will help you get more ship for your money.

How to Apply Your MSC Cruises Discount Code

While MSC Cruises focuses more on automatic discounts through their loyalty programme and seasonal promotions, here's how to make sure you're getting every saving available:

1. Join MSC Voyagers Club first - Sign up before booking to automatically apply your 5% member discount
2. Check for Wave of Savings eligibility - This major promotion runs December to April and can save up to £450pp
3. Select your cruise and cabin - Look for "Drinks" pricing options which include the Premium Extra Drinks Package
4. Review stacking opportunities - MSC Voyagers Club discounts combine with most seasonal promotions
5. Complete your booking - Discounts apply automatically when you meet the criteria

If you're having trouble seeing your discount applied, contact MSC directly on 0203 426 3010 - their team can verify your eligibility and ensure you're getting the best available rate.

Save 15% with MSC Voyagers Selection Cruises

The MSC Voyagers Club isn't just another points programme - it's your ticket to serious cruise savings. Members get 15% off specially curated Voyagers Selection departures, which is three times the standard member discount.

What makes this programme brilliant is its flexibility. If you're already loyal to another cruise line, hotel chain, or tour operator, MSC's Status Match programme lets you jump straight to equivalent benefits. That means your Hilton Diamond status or P&O Cruises loyalty actually counts for something here.

• Instant 5% discount on all cruises as soon as you join
• 15% off Voyagers Selection hand-picked cruises throughout the year
• Status Match benefits from other travel loyalty programmes
• Blue Diamond tier access for the most frequent cruisers
• Stackable with promotions like Wave of Savings for maximum value

Up to £250pp Onboard Credit with MSC Yacht Club

MSC Yacht Club transforms your cruise into a "ship within a ship" experience, and right now it comes with serious spending money. You'll get onboard credit that scales with your cruise length - £150pp for shorter trips, up to £250pp for longer adventures.

This isn't just marketing fluff - the onboard credit works like real money once you're sailing. Fancy dinner at a specialty restaurant? Covered. Spa treatment? Sorted. Shore excursion in Barcelona? Your credit's got it. The only catch is you can't use it for pre-cruise purchases, but honestly, that's when you'll want to spend it anyway.

How Your Onboard Credit Stacks Up

• 4-6 nights: £150 per person
• 7-13 nights: £200 per person
• 14+ nights: £250 per person

The credit gets added in your local currency and converts to the ship's currency when you board. Unlike some cruise lines that restrict how you spend onboard credit, MSC lets you use it anywhere without restrictions.

Premium Drinks Package from £196pp for 7 Nights

MSC's drinks strategy is refreshingly straightforward - book under their "Drinks" pricing and you automatically get the Premium Extra Drinks Package included. At £196pp for a week-long cruise, that works out to just £28 per day for drinks worth up to £14 each.

The package covers 15 alcoholic beverages per day (which is honestly more than most people need) plus unlimited soft drinks, specialty coffees, and premium teas. It works at every bar and restaurant onboard, so you're not hunting around for participating venues.

Here's the smart bit: if you're travelling as a group, everyone needs the same drinks package. MSC enforces this to prevent sharing, but it also means you can coordinate to get the best group rate.

Fly & Cruise Packages with Included Transfers

MSC's Fly & Cruise packages solve the biggest headache of cruise holidays - getting from the airport to the ship. When you book flights through MSC, transfers are included, and if your flight's delayed, they'll wait for you.

The package pricing often works out cheaper than booking separately, especially when you factor in the transfer costs and the peace of mind. MSC coordinates everything so your flights align with your cruise schedule, and they handle your luggage allowances with different airlines.

What Your Flight Package Includes

• Jet2: 22kg luggage allowance
• Emirates: 30kg luggage allowance
• British Airways: 23kg luggage allowance
• Virgin Atlantic: 23kg luggage allowance

If you book flights independently, transfers will only wait 30 minutes before departing, so the MSC package removes that stress entirely.

Secure Your Cruise with Deposits from £75pp

MSC's deposit structure makes cruise planning much more manageable. For most cruises, you're looking at just £100pp to secure your booking, with final payment not due until 76 days before departure.

Deposit Tiers by Cruise Length

The deposits vary by cruise length: £75pp for short breaks up to 3 nights, £100pp for 4-11 nights, and £200pp for longer adventures. World cruises require 15% of the total cost, but even that's reasonable when you're talking about a 47-destination journey.

Payment Timeline Benefits

What's clever about MSC's payment timeline is it gives you nearly three months after final payment to change your mind with reasonable cancellation charges. Cancel more than 76 days out and you only lose your deposit.

Mediterranean 2026: Flights from £99pp

MSC's Mediterranean 2026 promotion is particularly strong value, with flights starting at just £99pp - that's less than many train tickets within the UK. The deal includes reduced deposits of £100pp and access to discounted drinks packages.

The promotion covers the classic Mediterranean route with stops in Barcelona, Rome, and the French Riviera, plus some less obvious gems. Flight prices jump to £199pp and £299pp for peak summer dates, but even those rates are competitive when you consider you're getting a coordinated package.

Capacity is limited based on cabin and flight availability, so the best deals go to early bookers. If you're flexible with dates, you'll find the strongest savings on shoulder season departures in April, May, September, and October.

MSC's UK customer service team handles everything from booking questions to post-cruise feedback. They're available seven days a week with extended hours during peak booking periods.

• Booking assistance: 0203 426 3010 (Monday-Friday 8:30am-9pm, weekends 9am-6pm)
