We are continuing on with our article from last week. Each step that we get closer to cruising is a great step. Last week we shared excursion ideas for Norwegian Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. This week we will have MSC Cruises & Virgin Voyages.
Ocean Cruising on MSC Cruises
We love the activities and excursions proposed by MSC Cruises. They have collaborated with local agents and tour operators to make sure you have a lot of fun during your time at each port. There will never be a dull moment as you discover all kinds of natural, cultural and historic wonders when you step off your luxury cruise liner.
Rose Hall is a Jamaican Georgian plantation house now run as a historic house museum. When you arrive at the Montego Bay attraction in Jamaica, you can choose from three tours, including the Rose Hall Grand House and Garden Tour. On that tour, you will be given a witch's brew to enjoy as you take in the scenic views of the coast. Learn all about the history of Rose Hall, including the story of the famous white witch Annee Palmer.
Once a grand and impressive plantation great house, it got run down by the 1960s but was later restored back to its original glory.
Here are some more travel ideas for your cruise with MSC Cruises.

Ocean Cruising on Virgin Cruise Lines
Virgin Cruise Lines know how to have a great time on the ship and off the ship. They recommend a range of inspiring activities to try at each port. They like to keep travelers busy on land so they can pamper you when you get back on the cruise liner. Here's some of what they suggest.
It is almost a must to visit Chichen Itza, which is one of the seven new wonders of the world. The Mayan ruins in Mexico include a giant step pyramid as well as many other smaller ruins. You can still see impressive stone carvings at areas including the Temple of the Warriors and the Wall of the Skulls. Booking a tour guide is a great idea if you want to hear historical details about Chichen Itza.
