The MSC Fantasia sets sail from Brazil to Europe in April 2023. You can get onboard for £587 (~€687) in an inside cabin. However, the balcony cabin that starts at £738 (~€864) could be even more attractive for such a long trip (13 nights). All fares include taxes, fees, full board and tips.
You get full board service with breakfast, lunch and dinner (some speciality restaurants are excluded) as well as cold and hot water, coffee, tea and milk with meals. All cabins have double beds, which can also be converted to single beds if required.
