MSC Lirica headed to the UAE

Dubai: The cruiseship MSC Lirica will return to the United Arab Emirates for the 2013/2014 winter season.

On November 5, MSC Lirica will set off on an 18-night voyage from Genoa, Italy, arriving in Dubai, UAE, on November 22.

From November 23 until March 29, 2014, MSC Lirica will offer 18 seven-night cruises from Dubai, calling in Abu Dhabi, UAE; Khor al Fakkan, UAE; and Muscat and Khasab, Oman, with an overnight stay in Dubai.

"The UAE government's recent decision to allow multiple entry visas for cruiseship passengers has dramatically simplified visa procedures," said MSC Cruises ceo Pierfrancesco Vago. "This makes the region even more attractive to cruiselines and ensures that many more travellers can discover this truly unique destination with ease."  [08/04/13]
