MSC Cruises has the family fun covered onboard and on shore

MSC Cruises is offering amazing family friendly excursions on cruise holidays

MSC is a family run and owned cruise line and is dedicated to family values. The kids under 18 cruise free guarantee means that children are more than well catered for whilst onboard and have amenities galore whilst cruising the world’s oceans both onboard and on land.

The cruise line has thoughtfully compiled a programme of shore excursions for summer 2011 which is certainly aimed towards getting the family together for some light hearted fun.

With so many amazing places to visit in the world MSC certainly had their work cut out for them whilst putting together this programme exclusively for families. Some of the organised excursions really do sound amazing and I am sure you will agree are perfect for some family time in the sun.

Whilst in Magaluf families with slightly older children can enjoy Pirates – The Ultimate Adventure. This show has been running for the last 26 years and is always a crowd pleaser. Combining acrobatics and amazing gymnastics it is a spectacle that must be seen to be believed.

If you are enjoying a cruise holiday that has Malta on the itinerary then Popeye Village is the one to do for families. Here you will find splash pools, water trampolines, boat rides and even a private beach. The location (Anchor Bay) was also the location for the 1980’s movie of the classic and well-aged cartoon.

Families cruising to Palermo, Sicily, can also enjoy a visit to the Monreale Aquapark, a 22,000 square metre water paradise. Here there is something for all the family regardless of age. You can relax by the pool or take part in the white knuckle water rides bonanza. There are also convenient splash pools for the younger ones.

This is just a small selection of excursions on offer whilst cruising with MSC. The cruise line is also running special promotional deals throughout the month of August on most family excursions so be sure to enquire at the time of booking.
