In a bold move to ensure that the tea-loving Brits never have to suffer a subpar cuppa, MSC Cruises has launched the first-ever Tea Library at sea, aboard the MSC Virtuosa.
The initiative is a direct response to research revealing that 76 per cent of British travellers believe tea never tastes the same aboard, leading over half to bring their own tea bags. A committed 37 per cent even pack their own kettle, mug, and sugar bowl!
MSC Cruises hopes to satisfy these sailors by offering nearly 100 types of tea from its Tea Library. From beloved brands like PG Tips, Tetley, and Yorkshire Tea to fancy alternatives, every tea aficionado should be able to find their favourite blend – but the tea-tastic experience doesn’t stop there.
The library also includes a plethora of milk varieties, sugars, sweeteners, mugs, cups, teapots, and tea cosies to ensure every detail is just right.
The cruise line has even sourced authentic UK tap water, ranging from the hardest water in London to the softest in Dundee, knowing full well the mineral content can significantly impact taste.
Having been offered all manner of wishy washy slosh when cruising, this new found attention to detail is appreciated. We are left wondering what there is to dunk though…

MSC Virtuosa is offering cruises from Southampton throughout the summer. Guests staying in the MSC Yacht Club can bask with their favourite brew in hand as they sail to Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, or the Norwegian Fjords.
If this tea trial proves successful, MSC says it plans to roll the experience out across its fleet by 2025.
As Antonio Paradiso, Managing Director of MSC Cruises UK and Ireland puts it, “We want our guests to feel like they’re home away from home when sailing with us.” And with the MSC Tea Library, that home now comes with an ocean view. For more about MSC Cruises, visit the cruise line here.
