MSC Cruises is to embark on the Company’s most comprehensive new ship launch ever and will carry out the largest face-to-face engagement drive with more than 14,000 travel agents on board MSC Grandiosa. The events will commence in St Nazaire, France when the Company’s newest flagship officially comes into service on 31st October.

Achille Staiano, MSC Cruises VP Global Sales, commented: “The events for the launch of MSC Grandiosa have been carefully designed to enable an extensive programme of activities, events and celebrations for the Travel Agency community, as well as other guests and stakeholders. We have designed an inaugural itinerary for the ship with overnight stays in multiple ports to enable as many Travel Agent partners as possible to stay on board or visit the ship in order to experience it first-hand.”

During the course of the launch events, seven ‘All Stars of the Sea’ awards events will be held to recognize the efforts and achievements of travel agents from all around the world, recognizing MSC Cruises distribution in more than 80 countries. Separate familiarisation tours and presentations will also be given to travel agency front-desk staff, managers, proprietors and tour operators.

MSC Grandiosa will remain in the Port of Hamburg from 6-10 November with the Christening on the evening of the 9th. The Blue Port will be condensed into a maritime stage around the Elbphilharmonie. Twenty locations in Hamburg’s harbour will become ambassadors of light art, shining with a significant blue light, mixing industrial harbour light with graphic drawing. The colour blue is significant for the events as it part of MSC Cruises livery as well as representing water to symbolise MSC Cruises’ long-standing commitment to the ocean. With respect for the environment and the climate, many small lights with low energy consumption will be used. The dazzling installations will be created by renowned international light artist Michael Batz.
