On October 30, MSC Virtuosa will set sail on a 23-night voyage taking in destinations such as Naples, Athens, Petra and Muscat, as well as crossing the Suez Canal before arriving in the United Arab Emirates.
The cruise facilities of the Port of Bilbao in Getxo are expected to exceed previous records this year, with 80 calls scheduled this season. There will be 14 first time vessels to the Spanish port including those from Ambassador Cruise Line.
Ranging in size from The World to Anthem of the Seas, vessels from brands such as Cunard Line, Oceania Cruises and Disney Cruise Line will form part of the line up.
