Join me as I cruise once again with MSC Cruises. This time I travelled on one of their smaller ships, the MSC Lirica, around the Mediterranean visiting France, Spain, Malta and Italy. On this page I share the articles, videos, audio podcasts and photographs from the trip packed full with observations, tips and advice one cruising the Mediterranean and with MSC Cruises.

This is the route I took:

If you want to find out more about other MSC ships I have cruised with please visit my MSC Preziosa and MSC Divina pages.

eBOOK

I have produced an ebook that can be downloaded to read on your Kindle device or tablet. If you do not have a Kindle you can download an App that allows you to read books you get off Amazon.

My “Cruising with MSC Cruises” book looks at the background of MSC Crusies and looks in details at cruising with them on both their smaller ships, like MSC Lirica, as well as the large Fantasia Class ships like MSC Preziosa and MSC Divina. I have also a chapter on general cruising tips and advice like the most common mistakes made and best cruise resources.

See the book on Amazon USA and Amazon UK. It is on all Amazon stores worldwide.
