Celebrating U.S. Arrival of MSC Orchestra
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 17
MSC Cruises, the world's fastest growing cruise line, invites everyone
to join in the year-long celebration leading to the arrival of one of
MSC Cruises' newest ship, MSC Orchestra, in America.
"We're excited to welcome this beautiful ship, one of the newest in
our fleet, to Fort Lauderdale," says Richard E. Sasso, president and
CEO of MSC Cruises (USA). "To share our excitement and introduce
American and Canadian travelers to this magnificent ship, we have
launched www.theorchestraiscomingtotown.com."
The new website features:

the
chance to win a free 7-night cruise on MSC Orchestra in the
Caribbean;
* Ship information, including an extensive slide show and flash
presentation complete with factoids;

e-cards,
shuffle picture puzzles and memory games;
* Offers -- special promotions on MSC Orchestra itineraries,
including
the line's "Kids Sail Free" offer -- youngsters under age 17

when sharing a stateroom with two full-fare-paying adults.
Developed by eContact, Inc. of Boca Raton, Fla., the site includes a
section for travel professionals. Since it will frequently change
until the ship's Jan. 2, 2009 arrival in Fort Lauderdale, consumers
are encouraged to visit the site often.
With more than 236,800 square feet of public areas, 5 restaurants
(including the only dedicated Chinese restaurant at sea), 10 bars, a
21-foot by 12-foot outdoor LED screen, and a 16,146 square-foot spa,
MSC Orchestra represents the perfect combination of grace and style.
Following MSC Orchestra's Jan. 2, 2009 arrival in Fort Lauderdale, the
ship will sail alternating 7-night roundtrip itineraries through April
25, 2009:

Bahamas, as
well as two days at sea.
