Angelo Capurro, the executive director associated with MSC Cruises, mentioned that Malta has always been an integral part of operations for about 25 years, and they have brought hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers to visit the gorgeous island.
In the future, they will continue bringing more guests to Valletta, and they are proud that MSC World Europa, an exclusive and ultramodern metropolis at sea, is going to be a weekly visitor for the next 18 months (at least) at the port of registry.
MSC Cruises welcomed about 200 passengers on the MSC World Europa, including eminent government officials, the Minister for Tourism (Malta) Clayton Bartolo, along with local tour operators and agents.
The vessel, which can accommodate about 6,762 guests, will be visiting Malta’s capital city every week all through summer this year, winter 2023 to 2024, and summer 2024 while it sails on its seven-night voyages to Italy, France, and Spain.
