MSC Cruises has revised the itinerary of MSC Seaview, cancelling its scheduled call at Ibiza on November 11th, 2026, due to disruption expected from a nationwide 24-hour general strike in Spain. The vessel will instead call at Cagliari, Sardinia, on November 10th.
The strike, involving several major trade unions, is expected to affect public and private sector activities, including port services and local transportation. MSC Cruises determined that the anticipated disruption could affect shore arrangements and the passenger experience in Ibiza, prompting the itinerary change.
Under the revised schedule, MSC Seaview will arrive in Cagliari at 10 a.m. on November 10th and depart at 7 p.m. The following day will become a sea day instead of the originally planned Ibiza call, scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
The changes also affect two other port calls. On November 9th, the vessel's stay in Palermo will be adjusted to 11:30 a.m.–7 p.m., instead of 11 a.m.–8 p.m. The November 12th call at Tarragona will be shortened by one hour, with departure moved from 6 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The general strike is linked to demands for measures addressing housing affordability and the rising cost of living, as well as higher wages, improved employment and social rights, shorter working hours and better workplace conditions.
