MSC Cruises’ Post

To enjoy the luxury and guest-to-crew ratio of a small ship experience on a larger cruise, the solution is simple: a ship-within-a-ship cruise class. Over the past decade, major cruise lines have embraced this concept, and it's easy to see why. This special class offers cruisers upgraded service and exclusive access, while still allowing them to enjoy the ship's entertainment, dining, and amenities alongside the rest of the passengers. We experienced the 'Palace' life onboard Resorts World Cruises and got to enjoy the best of both worlds. According to Naresh Rawal from Resorts World Cruises, The Palace is the fastest-selling section of the ship among Indian travellers. This trend is driven by the increasing preference of Indian travellers for luxury over typical experiences. They are quick to choose this option when they perceive it as offering good value for money. #ResortsWorldCruises #Cruises #CruiseShips #LuxuryCruises #IndianCruiseConnoisseurs Mithun Shetty | Manvendra Singh Vaghela | Sarang Karnik

Great news for Tasmania! TasPorts has celebrated Hobart’s first partial cruise turnaround, marking a significant step forward. Partial turnarounds bring increased pre- and post-cruise travel opportunities, benefiting Hobart and surrounding regions with extended hotel stays, dining, and local tours. Sectors set to see these added benefits include local hotels and accommodations, restaurants and cafes, guided tours and excursion providers, cultural sites, and artisan markets. Additionally, transportation services such as car rentals, and taxis, as well as visitor attractions across the state will experience increased demand as visitors spend more time exploring Tasmania. This expanded activity not only drives economic growth but also supports Tasmanian jobs across these sectors, creating valuable employment opportunities and strengthening the state’s visitor economy. #WeAreCruise
