MSC Cruises and Vacation.com have announced a new partnership during Vacation.com’s 13th International Conference & Trade Show held at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, June 19 to 23.

Vacation.com is a new outlet and supplier for MSC. The partnership further expands MSC’s existing relationship with Travel Leaders Group and its family of companies.

MSC Cruises has created exclusive offers for Vacation.com member agents to sell, including up to a $200 shipboard credit on select 2012 sailings to the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Abu Dhabi, Northern Europe and Europe through Vacation.com’s Amenity Departure Dates program.

In addition, MSC has developed an exclusive offer for bookings of select seven- and 11-night MSC Yacht Club winter sailings via Vacation.com’s Vacation Vignettes program. These hosted cruises feature amenities at no additional cost, including a concierge host, an invitation to a private cocktail reception, and an exclusive shore event.

The MSC Yacht Club is an enclave of 71 suites onboard MSC Fantasia, MSC Splendida and MSC Divina (which debuts summer 2012) with butlers and concierge services, complimentary wine and spirits, private dining and more. Plus, with the purchase of Yacht Club accommodations, guests receive free air, hotel and transfers.  For a limited time, guests booking a cruise in the MSC Yacht Club by Aug. 15 receive up to a $500 shipboard credit.
