Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Mediterranean on a MSC Cruises from Barcelona

Type of visa required depends on your nationality.

For most nationalities, cruising from Barcelona does not require a visa. This includes citizens of the United States, Canada, Australia and EU countries like Spain itself. These individuals will just need to bring their passport with them for identification purposes/check-in once they board the ship. 

However, there are some exceptions to this rule – specifically for citizens from non-EU countries who are planning a cruise lasting longer than 90 days or who plan on visiting multiple Schengen Area Countries while they are away (this includes non-Schengen member countries like Morocco). For these travelers, a Schengen Visa is required in order to enter any international waters (including during their journey between ports). 

It will depend which country your book your cruise from. 
For South Africa
When it comes to cruising with MSC Cruises, the amount of the deposit depends on from which country you’re booking and what type of cruise you’re going for. Generally speaking, for South African residents taking part in a Mediterranean or Northern European cruise, the payment due at time of booking is R3,300 (or around USD 200). This deposit will be applied towards your total balance.

The cost of an MSC cruise from Barcelona will depend on the type of cruise you book. Generally, cruises can range anywhere from around $660 per person for weeklong packages in an inside cabin in shoulder season.

Without getting too specific, here are some things you should consider when pricing out your ideal Mediterranean adventure:

First, consider the duration of your trip. A two night escape may be cheaper than a full week at sea but sacrificing a few days might set you back more in terms of convenience and experiences missed along the way. 

Second is to check out any available promotions or package deals; there's usually same reduced rates offered during off-seasons or online credit options which can provide discounts on certain routes/excursions. Keep an eye out! 

Thirdly, figure out which type of cabin best fits your needs (interior staterooms being one option). Interior staterooms tend to be cheaper than their counterparts such as balcony cabins but offer less space and no views whatsoever so bear that in mind if budgeting is an issue. 

Last but not least, factor in extra costs such drinks packages (for those who want unlimited beverages during meals) and additional amenities like spa treatments onboard etc…

All these add up quickly so it’s important to keep tabs early on!
