MSC Virtuosa laundry services: packages, prices, and alternatives

The MSC Virtuosa does not have a self-serve laundry room, but it does offer laundry services. You can either pay per item or purchase a package for a fixed number of items.

• Trousers: €5.90
• T-shirt: €2.90
• Shorts: €3.50
• Underwear: €1.90
• Dress: €9.00

Dry cleaning services are also available.

Laundry packages

Laundry packages are available for purchase before the cruise or on board. It is usually cheaper to buy them in advance. The packages include washing and ironing and are bought per cabin, so they can be shared between guests. The packages are as follows:

• €10-€15 Package (For American cruises this package costs $28): Includes washing and ironing of 10 items.
• €20-€25 Package (For American cruises this package costs $38): Includes washing and ironing of 20 items.
• Back Home 40 Package (For American cruises this package costs $49): Allows up to 40 items to be washed and ironed.

MSC also offers discounted packages for babies/young children’s clothes (aged 0-6). You can purchase a 10 or 20-piece laundry package with the same terms as the adult packages. Baby laundry is washed separately in special gentle cleansers.

Free alternatives

If you want to avoid paying for laundry, you can pack a small amount of travel wash and wash a few items of clothing in the sink. This method is easy and almost free, but it is not suitable for large items as they take longer to dry. Alternatively, you can hang your clothes in the bathroom while you take a hot shower to let the steam remove the creases.

Laundry service not available on the last day of the cruise

The MSC Virtuosa does not have self-service laundry facilities, but it does offer laundry services for a fee. However, it is important to note that the laundry service is not available on the last day of the cruise. This means that if you are cruising on the MSC Virtuosa and wish to have your clothes laundered, you should plan ahead and not leave it until the final day.

The laundry service on the MSC Virtuosa is a same-day service, where items are collected before 12:00 pm and returned within 48 hours before dinner. There are several laundry packages available, with prices starting at €10-€15 for the basic package, which includes washing and ironing up to 10 items. The packages are bought per cabin and can be shared between guests. For those travelling with young children, there are also discounted packages for baby/young children's clothing, washed with special gentle cleansers.

If you are looking to save money, there are free alternatives to doing laundry on the MSC Virtuosa. You can bring your own laundry detergent and wash a few items of clothing in the sink or shower, as there are clotheslines in the bathroom to hang clothes to dry. Another option is to use a crease release spray to remove wrinkles from your clothes without having to wash them.

While the MSC Virtuosa does not have irons in the cabins due to safety reasons, there are ways to minimise wrinkles without using an iron. You can hang your clothes in the bathroom while taking a hot shower, as the steam will help release creases. Additionally, you can purchase a crease release spray to further help remove wrinkles and leave your clothes smelling fresh.

In summary, while the MSC Virtuosa does not have a self-serve laundry room, it offers laundry services for a fee, except on the last day of the cruise. To save money, you can opt for free alternatives like handwashing or using crease release spray. Remember, irons are not allowed onboard due to safety reasons, but you can use the steam from a hot shower or purchase crease release spray to remove wrinkles.

Irons are banned on all MSC cruise ships

If you're worried about wrinkled clothing, there are a few alternatives to using an iron. Firstly, you can purchase a wrinkle-release spray, which will remove creases and leave your clothes smelling fresh. You can also hang your clothes in the bathroom while you take a hot shower, as the steam will help to remove creases.

MSC also offers laundry services for an additional fee. You can choose to pay per item or purchase a laundry package. For example, the basic laundry package includes the washing and ironing of 10 items for between €10 and €15.

If you're looking for a self-serve laundry room on the MSC Virtuosa, you won't find one. None of the MSC cruise ships have self-serve laundry rooms. However, all cabins on the MSC Virtuosa include a large wardrobe and additional shelves, so you'll have plenty of space to hang your clothes.
