Mediterranean Shipping Company, a privately owned company with a longstanding history on the seas headed by captain Gianluigi Aponte, entered the cruise industry in 1988. After acquiring the Starlauro, a prestigious shipping company, and executing a total renewal and re-launch, MSC Cruises was officially born.

Can't fault Cruisenation

I have used Cruisenation on many occasions to book cruises. Staff have always been very courteous and helpful My latest booking required adding on extra days and changing flight, this was no problem at all.
