Msc Rhapsody: Follow Your Hobby On A Cruise

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (July 19, 2007) – No time to enjoy new pursuits? Make time to pursue relaxing, creative and worthwhile hobbies by joining MSC Cruises’ MSC Rhapsody for an 11-night cruise to visit some of the most beautiful European countries while furthering your skills and knowledge of current hobbies or perhaps discovering new interests.

The ship departs Amsterdam Aug. 31 for Dover, the English port known for its dramatic white cliffs and as a gateway to London. From there, sail along the French coast to Saint Malo in Brittany and marvel at the view from St Michel’s Mount. Then it’s on to Spain and a call into Coruna near Santiago of Compostela before proceeding to Lisbon, the Portuguese capital. From there it is once again on to Spanish soil, calling into Cadiz and Barcelona. Then visit Marseille and finally Genoa.

From one port of call to another, the onboard entertainment will be plentiful – a rich program of activities, from games to courses, demonstrations and tournaments. Broaden your horizons, enjoy your favorite hobbies and learn new ones -- unleash your creativity and discover hidden talents.

The cruise offers plenty of opportunities. Design T-shirts. Play games and challenge old friends to a game of bridge or enjoy the casino. Those who are passionate about photography can make the most of professional tips and improve their video techniques. On the other hand, if your interest is health and well being, the onboard programs will enrich your knowledge and also enable you to watch demonstrations on new techniques for efficient massages.

Students of astrology can learn more about the Zodiac and calculate ascending star readings. Those interested in learning about biorhythms will have the opportunity to do so. Botanic enthusiasts can learn more than just the names of flowers, while those interested in astronomy can examine astral charts and enjoy night time observations as well as evenings dedicated to stars and magic.
