He added: “Reinforcing its presence in the country, this great news is due firstly to the great pre-sales carried out in the first half of the year and secondly to the support received from the national authorities based on the incentive policy for the current season, announced days ago. This great news further highlights the leadership of MSC Cruises in the region and in the port of Buenos Aires in particular(…)”

The Ports of Buenos Aires are very interested in extending the cruise season, and the Ministry of Tourism is expressly supporting the increase in private investment. In this sense, MSC has not stopped growing and today 50% of the arrivals to Argentine ports of vacation cruises belong to the Italian company. The said organization is also facilitating the permits and visas for crew so that they can disembark, tour and consume in the Argentine capital every time they call there.
