MSC Cruises is standardising prices for all of its summer 2012 Mediterranean cruises, irrespective of the ship or the itinerary, the company said in a statement.

 “Welcome to the KIS promotion! KIS – Keep It Simple – does just what it says on the tin. No gimmicks, no confusing red tape and no spending hours comparing prices and routes,” MSC Cruises said.

 Booking periods are divided into three seasons: low (April, May, October and November), medium (June and September) and high (July and August). Prices for any 7/8 night 2012 summer Mediterranean cruise departing during low season start from £549 per person including flights (£699 for 11 nights). All Medium season prices start from £699 per person including flights (£849 for 11 nights) and All high season prices start from just £849 per person including flights (£999 for 11 nights).

These prices translate into quite incredible savings for MSC customers, ranging from as much as £410 per person in low season through to a staggering £840 in high season. Passengers can choose a cabin upgrade, and again there will be just one price across all MSC’s ships sailing the Mediterranean in summer 2012, over the three booking periods.

Cruise only prices are available on the same basis, with prices reduced by £200 per person.  MSC Opera itineraries from Southampton and Northern Europe sailings from Kiel and Hamburg are excluded from this offer. The KIS promotion is valid on new bookings made from 27th December 2011 to 29th February 2012.
