9 night Summer Holiday Cruise, Spain France & Portugal from Southampton, MSC Virtuosa

This 9-night Spain and Portugal cruise is tailor-made for a stress-free, action-packed summer holiday with the kids! This Amazing offer includes a Balcony Cabin, Premium Drinks Package and FREE Port Parking.

🗺️ The Family-Friendly Route

Departing right in the middle of the school summer holidays, this round-trip cruise means no airport stress, no baggage weight limits, and no flights with restless kids.

• The Journey: You’ll sail from Southampton down to Brest (France), the beautiful capital of Lisbon (Portugal), the famous Rock of Gibraltar, and the sunny Spanish ports of Málaga and Cádiz.

• The Pace: With three full days at sea, the kids have plenty of time to explore the ship, while the port days offer easy, walkable cities perfect for family sightseeing, castle-climbing, and beach trips.

🌊 Endless Fun for Kids & Teens

The MSC Virtuosa is essentially a floating amusement park. You won’t hear “I’m bored” once:

• The Polar Aqua Park: A massive water park on the top deck featuring three thrilling twisting water slides, a splash canyon, and interactive water features for younger kids.

• The Savannah Aquapark & Sportsplex: An indoor sports arena for basketball, football, and volleyball, which transforms into a roller disco or a neon sports zone by night.

• F1 Simulators & Arcade: Older kids and teens will love the full-sized Formula 1 virtual racing cars, the immersive XD cinema, and the full-scale bowling alley.

• LEGO® at Sea: MSC has an exclusive partnership with LEGO. The ship features dedicated, age-appropriate kids’ clubs (from toddlers to teens) packed with bricks, PlayStation/Xbox consoles, and supervised games so parents can actually get some downtime.

🍔 Stress-Free Dining for Picky Eaters

Feeding the family is incredibly easy onboard:

• The Marketplace Buffet: Open 20 hours a day, featuring a dedicated kids’ corner with familiar favourites (nuggets, burgers, pasta) alongside freshly made pizza, a carving station, and endless desserts.

• Main Dining Rooms: Elegant but family-welcoming three-course dinners with a specially designed, rotating children’s menu.

• Sweet Treats: A massive Jean-Philippe Maury chocolate shop and crêperie, plus an artisanal gelato station right by the pool.

🎭 Entertainment the Whole Family Can Enjoy

• The LED Dome Shows: The central indoor promenade (Galleria Virtuosa) features a 112-metre LED sky. Every evening, the family can look up to watch spectacular, animated digital light shows set to music.

• Rob the Robotic Bartender: Head to the MSC Starship Club where a futuristic humanoid robot mixes cosmic mocktails for the kids and cocktails for the adults while cracking jokes.

• Broadway-Style Theatre: Every night features high-energy, visual-heavy productions (think acrobats, magicians, and musicians) in the main theatre that will keep all ages entertained.
