Blackeye Gin Sets Sail with MSC Cruises on MSC Virtuosa

Blackeye Gin has officially joined the onboard drinks offering on MSC Virtuosa, following an exciting new partnership with MSC Cruises.

The award-winning English gin, founded by Mike Tindall, James Haskell and Alex Payne, is now available across all bars on MSC Virtuosa, as well as being included for guests with the Premium Drinks Package and those staying in MSC Yacht Club.

The launch follows a successful onboard trial in 2025, where guest feedback showed strong demand for Blackeye Gin at sea. The partnership has since been featured across national, travel and cruise press, including Travelmole, Seen in the City, The Mirror, Daily Express, MSN and Sailawaze.

For Blackeye, the partnership marks another exciting step in bringing the gin to new audiences, from rugby fans and spirit lovers to guests enjoying one of MSC Cruises’ most popular ships.
