MSC Meraviglia Heads into Drydock, Prompting Cruise Cancellations

MSC Meraviglia, the flagship of MSC Cruises' Meraviglia class, has entered drydock earlier than originally planned, resulting in the cancellation of several scheduled sailings. The ship departed in early April 2025 for maintenance in Malta, where it will undergo routine inspections and technical updates.

The drydock is expected to last several weeks, with MSC reaching out to impacted guests to offer rebooking options or refunds. The ship is anticipated to return to service in early May, in time for the Mediterranean summer cruise season.

Changes like these highlight the importance of booking through a travel advisor. From helping you navigate unexpected itinerary changes to providing personalized support throughout the process, a trusted advisor can make all the difference.
