Southampton has been chosen by the world’s largest privately held cruise company, MSC, as the stage for this momentous naming ceremony giving a huge endorsement for the future of cruise in the city.
The Port of Southampton has been named the UK’s best departure port for seven years in a row and is Europe’s leading cruise turn-around port.
With cruise ships getting larger and bringing more passengers with them, ABP is investing significantly in the future of cruise in readiness for welcoming the larger ships over the next few years.
