MSC Cruises’ MSC Euribia has returned to service after being delayed in Dubai since the Iran war broke out at the end of February 2026. Iranian authorities announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on April 17, allowing multiple ships to depart the region safely, and MSC Euribia to resume her Northern European season.
MSC Euribia is sailing from Kiel and Copenhagen, offering an immersive voyage through Norway’s iconic fjords and some of the region’s most scenic destinations. Whether cruising between cliffs, waterfalls, or mountains, the scenery is best viewed from the ship.
The itineraries include stops in the Heritage Fjords, the Hellesylt/Geiranger area, and the Flaam village. Guests can enjoy Nordic towns and Norway’s natural wonders, and shows at the Delphi Theatre in Berlin. The breathtaking UNESCO-listed fjords and charming coastal cities, which are some of the most sought-after destinations, are sure to create memories of a lifetime.
Onboard the ship, guests can visit more than 10 dining venues and 21 bars and lounges, and experience the award-winning family programming, which includes a dedicated kids area and spaces tailored to children and teens. Guests will also enjoy the five pools and the Ocean Cay AquaPark, and the Carousel Lounge–a technology-packed lounge found on the cruise line’s Meraviglia-class ships. The lounge features Carousel Productions at Sea, blending acrobatics, dance, and live music.
