MSC Virtuosa’s naming ceremony is to take place at Dubai’s Port Rashid on 27 November, a day ahead of its maiden Gulf voyage. The event will also coincide with the UAE Golden Jubilee.
Helal Saeed Almarri, director general for Dubai Tourism, was quoted as saying: ‘A partnership with a cruise line such as MSC Cruises is testament to the global appeal of Dubai’s cruise industry and its position as a multi-faceted tourism destination.’
