MSC Opera Sets Sail for Caribbean After Cruise Cancellation

The MSC Opera is deadheading to the Caribbean after having its repositioning voyage from the Mediterranean cancelled.

Sailing from Italy to the Dominican Republic, the 18-night cruise was set to depart in late October but was cancelled due to a technical issue onboard the 2004-built vessel.

Now sailing with no guests onboard, the MSC Opera is heading straight to La Romana, where it is set to arrive as scheduled on November 16, 2026.

The ship will then kick off a series of seven-night cruises from the Dominican Republic, becoming the first MSC Cruises ship to sail year-round in the Southern Caribbean.
