During the winter of the next two decades, the homeport of the new vessel will be inSouthampton.

The line saw huge demand for no-fly cruises and decided to base the new ship in the UK.

The ex- UK winter programme includes destinations such as Amsterdam. The price for a five-night cruise on MSC Euribia starts at $359 and the price for a seven-night sailing starts at $489.

The 21-night itinerary on MSC Euribia departing on January 5, 2024 has a lead-in price of over $2,500. The winter sailings on the Euribia will go on sale on October 24.

Antonio Paradiso, the managing director of the UK and Ireland, said: "We are committed to offering the best possible experience for our guests from the UK and Ireland."

Since our first full ex-UK season in 2018, we have seen huge demand for stress-free, no-fly cruises fromSouthampton.

We will be able to build on this success by offering our UK customers the chance to experience one of the most impressive cruise experiences offering cutting-edge design features.

There are five swimming pools, a theatre with grand-scale shows, and an aqua park on the ship.

There will be 21 bars and 10 dining venues.
