MSC Updates Family Programs

May 31, 2018

MSC Cruises has launched a new family excursion program designed to get parents and children working together to discover all there is to see in ports around Europe.  The Family Explorer Club tours, which are available in select ports in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, are interactive tours where you children act as detectives and explorers to accomplish a unique mission in each port of call.  Your family will be equipped with interactive explorer maps. For every task completed, the children get a sticker to take home as a souvenir. Tasks might include playing games and solving riddles.  Inspired by the history of the destination, the tours feature an iconic historical character as part of the storyline; they also include trained guides and an official storyteller to lend assistance as needed.  Children pay half-price and the excursion is made up entirely of families. The excursions typically start later in the morning and last no longer than three to four hours, so that children do not get too tired.  Also the new MSC Seaview will begin sailing the Caribbean next month with a range of interactive games and other activities for children of all ages including a new interactive live family show; the Doremi Summer Game, where parents and children can challenge each other to name popular songs and videos; and the Doremi Summer Parade, which will take place every sea day on the pool deck. Teenagers will also be able to participate in the Summer Selfie Contest, which will involve taking 30 must-have ‘selfies’ around the ship.
