The line’s largest ship, with capacity for up to 6,300 passengers, is due to enter service on 31 October and MSC is planning to host 14,000 agents from 40 countries at events in eight different ports in November.
UK and Irish agents are being invited to Southampton on November 12 for a one-night stay onboard Grandiosa, which will include an interactive ship tour, theatre shows and dinner in one of the ship’s 12 dining venues.
MSC will also be hosting the All Stars of the Sea awards for its best-performing agents.
Antonio Paradiso, MSC Cruises’ UK and Ireland managing director, said: “Over the past three years we have made it our priority to get as many agents as possible on our ships to experience everything MSC Cruises has to offer.
“The feedback from our MSC Bellissima event in March which saw over 3,000 agents visit the ship was overwhelming, and it’s a pleasure to be back in the Port of Southampton with an even bigger ship and the chance to give a further 500 agents a chance to spend the night onboard.”
Grandiosa will begin sailing on seven-night cruises in the western Mediterranean from 23 November.
