For a limited time, MSC Cruises offers guests special savings on select 2012 five-night and longer cruises in Europe, including several sailings of the new MSC Divina, which debuts in May 2012.

Guests who book select 2012 itineraries in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe through Nov. 30, 2011 will receive 50% off the Early Booking Rate for the second guest in the stateroom.

The “50% Off 2nd Guest” offer applies to the following stateroom categories:

*  Fantasia & Musica Class (MSC Fantasia, MSC Splendida, MSC Divina, MSC Musica, MSC Orchestra, MSC *  Magnifica and MSC Poesia): Standard and superior balcony, suites
*  MSC Melody: ocean view and suites
*  MSC Opera: ocean view, balcony and suites
*  MSC Lirica, MSC Armonia and MSC Sinfonia: ocean view and suites
*  MSC Yacht Club accommodations are not eligible for this offer.

With this promotion, for example, the rate for a balcony stateroom on MSC Splendida’s 7-night roundtrip Mediterranean sailings from Genoa in April 2012 is $1,199 for the first guest and $599.50 for the second guest; both guests pay $44.86 government fees and taxes.

Guests seeking to be among the first to sail on the new MSC Divina can book a balcony stateroom on a June 2012 roundtrip Mediterranean sailing from Venice for $1,499 for the first guest and $749.50 for the second guest in the stateroom, plus $24.09 per guest in government fees and taxes.

All rates are cruise only, per person, double occupancy. Government fees and taxes for all guests are additional.
