The Cruises Division of MSC Group, the leading privately held Swiss-based shipping and logistics conglomerate with over 300 years of maritime heritage, is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and has two distinct brands within its structure - the contemporary and luxury brands. MSC Cruises, the contemporary brand, is the world`s third largest cruise brand as well as leader in Europe, South America, the Gulf region and Southern Africa with more market share in addition to deployed capacity than any other player. It is also the fastest growing global cruise brand with a strong presence in the Caribbean, North America and the Far East. Its fleet comprises 18 modern vessels combined with a sizeable future global investment portfolio of new vessels and is projected to grow to 23 cruise ships by 2025 with options for six vessel orders in place through 2030. MSC Cruises offers its guests an enriching, immersive and safe cruise experience inspired by the Company`s European heritage. Meanwhile the soon to be launched luxury brand is set to start operating in 2023 with a fleet of up to ten vessels coming into service by 2030 with the latest and most advanced environmental and maritime technologies available. These super-yachts will introduce to the luxury segment a broad range of new guest experiences and other activities as well as generous ratios of public spaces. MSC`s number one priority across all its operations has always been the health and safety of its guests and crew, as well as the communities at the destinations its ships serve. In August 2020, MSC Cruises implemented its comprehensive health and safety protocol to become the first major line to return to sea. MSC has long been committed to environmental stewardship with a long-term goal to achieve zero emissions for its operations. The Company is also a significant investor in next-generation environmental marine technologies, with the goal to support their accelerated development and implementation.

The All-Inclusive Crystal Experience® is a heady combination of indulgent services and enriching discovery. Since our debut in 1990, we have been elevating and redefining the traditional notions of luxury cruising with innovative excellence, exquisitely designed ships, bold itineraries, customized destination immersion, and the highest standards of personalized service at sea and on land. A proven leader in evolving the guest experience to stay ahead of global luxury travel trends, we were the first cruise line to partner with celebrity chefs—our Silk Road and Sushi Bar alternative dining venues are the only sea-going restaurants in Nobu Matsuhisa`s worldwide empire; the first to debut a Computer University@Sea® with personal e-mail and Internet services; the first to launch a now critically-acclaimed Wine and Food Festival; and the soon-to-be first luxury line to transit the Northwest Passage in 2016 and offer four distinct World Cruise options in 2018.
The Voyages of Discovery business was established in 1994 to supply educational cruises to school children. In 1997 the business was acquired by All Leisure Group and adult cruises were introduced. From 1997 to 2001 the Group operated the Voyages of Discovery business as a supplier of cruises around the eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea, for both school children and adults. In 2001 the Group risk began offering cruises around Northern Europe and Scandinavia. During summer 2002, the Group operated these tours through the short term hire (generally of up to a seven week period in each case) of different cruise ships. In late 2002 the Group signed a five year lease for Discovery for use during the summer season of May to November commencing May 2003. In May 2005, as a result of the owner having received an offer to purchase the ship from a third party, the Group completed the acquisition of Discovery. The acquisition included the winter cruise business that the previous owners of Discovery had been operating and included a sales office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Swan Hellenic brand was added to the Group in July 2007 and in November of the same year the charter of mv Minerva began. The Group continued to grow with the acquisition of the Hebridean Princess in April of 2009 and followed by mv Alexander von Humbolt in November 2009. The AVH was renamed in December 2012 and now sails as mv Voyager entering service with Voyages of Discovery. May 2012 saw the further acquisition by All Leisure of the holiday company Page and Moy. The Company, through its subsidiary All Leisure Holidays, now has six main business divisions: Voyages of Discovery, Swan Hellenic, Discover Egypt, Travelsphere, Just You and Hebridean Island Cruises.
