The line has also cancelled three repositioning Grand Voyage sailings in April because of the continued risks in the Red Sea.

Antonio Paradiso, vice-president of international sales for MSC Group’s cruise division and UK & Ireland managing director of MSC Cruises and Explora Journeys, said: “We know this sailing will be popular among all European guests, especially those from the UK and Ireland, which is why itineraries are now on sale.”
