World Encounter – Easter Island & Sydney
About this cruise
115 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Barcelona on January 7, 2028 and the route takes you through Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Grand Turk Island and Ocean Cay, with additional stops along the Southeast Asia at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 40 port calls start. The Southeast Asia route takes in Spain, Turks & Caicos Islands, Bahamas, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, French Polynesia, Tonga, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Italy and France, 28 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Manta: Ecuador's tuna capital with a surfer's soul. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Magnifica keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. 40 ports, 28 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
