With the sale of the 37,983-ton, 835-guest Prinsendam complete, the ship will be chartered back to Holland America Line to continue sailing its planned voyages until next year.

The line is hoping to appeal to millennials with the shorter itineraries and action-packed offerings. New onboard experiences include Sky Pad, a gravity-defying bungee trampoline augmented with virtual reality.

The Fantasy will visit Tortola again on seven-night cruises departing on Sept. 8, 22; Oct. 6 and 27, and in 2019 on Sept. 7 and 21 and Oct. 5.

T25 will also offer Suite Class guests a singular experience along the path to The Retreat, with an exclusive lounge, lobbies, screening areas and even a private rooftop terrace.

The number of Cuba itineraries and Caribbean cruises with port calls at Havana (on the Atlantic coast), Cienfuegos and former capital Santiago de Cuba (both on the Caribbean coast) has soared in the last two years.

A fifth Meraviglia class ship is coming to MSC Cruises, representing an additional investment of over US$1 billion.
