Ship Experience
MSC's incoming flagship and one of the largest cruise ships in the world — LNG-powered, 333 metres, 22 decks and seven pools. The pitch is an outdoor theme park at sea: an aquapark, a 50-metre over-water swing, a high ropes course and a dry slide spanning eleven decks, with a Yacht Club suite enclave at the top of it. Despite the name she sails the Western Mediterranean, on seven-night loops from six turnaround ports.
