The MSC Euribia has started its Northern Europe season, MSC Cruises announced in a press release. 

The ship will take guests to explore Norway’s fjords sailing from Kiel and Copenhagen, stopping in Hellesylt/Geiranger and the Flaam village, among others. 

Having been stranded in the Arabian Gulf for nearly two months, the ship was supposed to reposition to Northern Europe through Africa. 

However, it ended up returning to Europe through the Red Sea, transiting the Suez Canal for the first time on April 26, 2026. 

Three other MSC Cruises ships will sail Northern Europe this summer. 

The MSC Magnifica will operate seven- and 11-night sailings from Warnemünde (Germany), calling at destinations in Norway (Kristiansand, Eidfjord, Lyngdal, Oslo), as well as Copenhagen (Denmark), Gdynia (Poland), Klaipeda (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia) and Stockholm (Sweden). 

The MSC Preziosa will offer seven- to 14-night voyages from Hamburg (Germany), visiting destinations such as Norway’s Honningsvåg, Tromsø, Trondheim and Bergen, and Reykjavik (Iceland), plus Scotland’s Invergordon and Kirkwall. 

The MSC Virtuosa will sail itineraries from Southhampton (UK) that visit destinations such as Akureyri, Isafjordur and Reykjavik in Iceland, as well as Maloy, Hellesylt and Sandnes in Norway. 

It will also sail to the Mediterranean and Canary Islands.
