Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:12:00 GMT http://www.msccruises.com/gl_en/About-MSC-Cruises/News/MSC-Magnifica-guest-in-a-shell.aspx This is the story of Isabel, the green sea turtle, and a heart-warming story it is - especially considering 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity. Rescued by the famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau forty years ago, Isabel lived in captivity at the Stuttgart Aquarium for thirty years before being transferred to the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn in Naples. She could have lived to the end of her long life in either of the marine centres, but that would have been a blow both for Isabel and for biodiversity, since she would have been without a male companion and unable to follow her instincts and return to the few remaining nesting areas of her species, Chelonia mydas - an endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List™.

Typical of the Italian family-owned company’s dedication to its guests, MSC Cruises’s frequent holidaymakers get much more than a loyalty scheme, they get a club of their own - MSC Club - and are treated as members in every way. What’s more, there’s no joining fee. You become a member of MSC Club automatically, immediately after your first cruise.
