How can I book an MSC Bike Adventours experience?

You can book tours online or once onboard our ships. As these experiences are designed for small groups they frequently sell out, we recommend you book your tour online to avoid disappointment.

Do you have to be fit to participate in these tours?

We offer both easy city sightseeing tours and active adventures that require a bit more exertion. Typically most guests can participate if they are comfortable on a bicycle and have a healthy sense of adventure.

Yes, we offer both regular and E-bikes on our tours. E-bikes use electric power to augment your pedaling, you’ll glide over hills, and the long road suddenly feels much shorter.

On which ships do you offer MSC Bike Adventours?

We currently offer this program on MSC World Europa and MSC Grandiosa in the Mediterranean and on MSC Fantasia, MSC Euribia and MSC Preziosa in the Northern Europa. During winter 2023-2024, the program will be available on MSC Euribia, MSC Fantasia in Northern Europe, MSC World Europa in Mediterranean and MSC Virtuosa in the Emirates.

What will I receive on tour?

You will receive a safety briefing and helmet and a MSC Bike Adventours cycling water bottle, yours to keep!

What should I bring on tour?

You should dress for comfort and safety based on your itinerary. We suggest warm clothing or layers in cold climates. Always wear closed toed shoes. For an enhanced experience you can purchase exclusive MSC Bike Adventours cycling.
