MSC Cruises has emerged as a fast-rising star in the European-style premium cruise market. Backed by the world's second largest cargo shipper, Mediterranean Shipping Company is a well capitalized shipping company that's determined to enter the Cruise industry in grand style. The company started a $3 billion expansion program in 2003, with the introduction of the new MSC Lirica in 2003. MSC Cruises added the MSC Armonia (built in 2001) to its fleet in spring of 2004 and the new MSC Opera debuted in June 2004. The line purchased the MSC Sinfonia (built in 2002) in July 2004 (the ship began cruising in March 2005) and has built two new 2,600-passenger ships MSC Musica(2006) and MSC Orchestra (2007). MSC's most recent mega ships MSC Splendida and MSC Fantasia are the largest built by a European ship owner and are in excess of 137,000 gross tons and have more than 1600 statero0ms. Today, MSC Cruises is the industry's fastest growing cruise line and they clearly determined to make a name for themselves. more

Featured Destination: Transcanal/Panama Canal
In 1903, the United States began construction of the Panama Canal, one of the world's most amazing feats of modern engineering. It took 10 years, $387 million dollars, and tens of thousands of lives to build the 50 mile "ditch" connecting two continents! Because they sail from the East Coast to the West Coast (or visa versa) a Panama Canal Cruise gives you the opportunity to see many of the same ports you may see on cruise to the Mexican Riviera, the Western Caribbean, or Southern Caribbean. It is almost like 4 cruises in one. Almost all First Class and Luxury Cruise Lines have some sort of Panama Canal itinerary. They are especially popular in April when the cruise lines move their ships from the Caribbean to Alaska and again in October when they return to the Caribbean. Most Canal cruises are 10 or 11 nights long, but true "Cruise Fanatics" may be lucky enough to catch a nice 21 day cruise from Vancouver to Ft. Lauderdale. more |
