How can the Seashore have a cruise on both December 27 AND December 30 2022...?

Hoping someone can help me out. Several sites (including MSC's own site) show an 8 night cruise on the Seashore on 12/27/22 RT Salvador and also on 12/30/22 RT Santos (Sao Paulo). I've searched around quite a bit and can't determine which one is actually correct. I've never sailed MSC but I know enough not to bother calling them. Does anyone have any input?

 

Thanks in advance!

Easy.  MSC commonly has passengers embark and disembark at multiple ports.  It's the same cruise. I believe it's called interporting.  When it gets to a port, some people join and others leave.  Just look at the maps of the itineraries and it's easy to see.  Now if the cruise had the same dates from the different ports, that would be a problem.  DIfferent dates, different ports, no problem at all.

 

We're taking Armonia in October and had the choice of getting on at Venice, Brindisi, Athens, etc.

Ahhh ok this makes sense. Thank you so much for the info. It seems MSC really is different. I'm used to Celebrity so this should be interesting.
