Guests heading aboard MSC Cruises through October can look forward to some specially themed seasonal entertainment, with a Halloween-themed programme across the fleet.
The line-up includes parties, quizzes, arts and crafts and live shows for guests of every age.
MSC Cruises' youth and cruise teams will lead dedicated activities for children, teenagers and adults throughout the month. Programming for younger guests and a separate line-up for teenagers will run across the month.
The themed entertainment is included in the fare, so families can simply turn up and take part, the cruise line said.
Half-term Halloween cruises remain available to book from the UK, including a seven-night sailing on MSC Virtuosa departing Southampton on 24 October and visiting La Rochelle, Bilbao, La Coruna and Le Havre, from £749 per person.
MSC, in its announcement, promoted some offers in October, including a seven-night Mediterranean sailing on MSC Seaview departs Civitavecchia on 25 October and visits Palermo, Ibiza, Barcelona, Marseille and Genoa, from £999 per person.
