As her name implies, MSC Armonia is a sociable ship with a real fun loving atmostphere. She’s been carefully designed to put passengers first and, make no mistake, she was built for good times! And, best of all, these good times take place against some spectacular backdrops. MSC Armonia operates some of the most interesting and fun loving itineraries of any ship in our fleet. Whether you’re cruising the clement Canary Islands in the winter months, or slipping serenely out of Venice into the Adriatic heading for the best of the Eastern Med’ in the summer, you’re always bound for enjoyment.
MSC Armonia is a great ship to enjoy the company of friends and family whilst enjoying the sunshine at the external spa and swimming pool complex. And, should you find yourself over doing the fine Italian and international cuisine on offer, then you can always make redress at the gym, the Armonia Spa or why not simply dance the night away in the Starlight Disco?
Aside from being thoroughly convivial, MSC Armonia is also a most comfortable ship. She offers a selection of spacious suites with private balconies and splendid views. But, the usual caveat applies: once you’ve cruised in a balcony cabin aboard MSC Armonia you’ll want to keep doing so again and again!
British cruisers especially appreciate the White Lion pub where friendly service and an easy-going charm will quickly turn everyone into a ‘local’. Later on, as you leave the setting sun and another port of call in your wake it’s time to explore the many bars, lounges and, perhaps, a special evening at the Teatro La Fenice?
Whatever you do and wherever you go aboard MSC Armonia, a happy and harmonious cruise comes as standard!

MSC Divina now cruises twelve months of the year around the paradise islands of the Caribbean. Good news indeed, but why else book a Caribbean cruise aboard MSC Divina? Well, consider this: she was designed to take MSC's acclaimed Fantasia Class of ships to a new level with added inspiration from screen legend, Sophia Loren. Therefore, it’s no surprise to learn that MSC Divina simply oozes a rather special kind of glamour, a little extra something that will enhance your Caribbean cruise experience no end.
From her West End-sized theatre to the sweeping grace of her Swarovski crystal staircases and the exquisite illusion created by her Infinity Pool, MSC Divina possesses a stylish and sophisticated ambience that few ships can match. Little touches like the adults-only sanctuary, Top 18, where you can soak up the glorious Caribbean sunshine whilst enjoying truly stunning sea views, a dedicated spa service, bar menu and complimentary fruit skewers help create one of the most impressive and relaxing cruise experiences you’ll find anywhere.
An MSC Caribbean cruise means you’ll get to explore paradise islands most days of the week leaving plenty of time to discover MSC Divina. Perhaps you’ll stroll through the 150 fountains of the Aqua Park and stop off at the poolside gelato bar? How about a suitably exotic drink with a light meal at the new Galaxy Club restaurant or simply letting the conversation ebb and flow as you enjoy the music in the Italian piazza prior to a spot of shopping? And, if you've had a long or stressful year, why not allow spa therapists to soothe away your aches and pains with a Balinese massage at the acclaimed Aurea Spa? If, on the other hand, you’re after excitement then how about a circuit or two on the F1 simulator or a long and hair-raising ride on the water slide? You can go bowling in the Sports Bar or take your chances at cards or the roulette wheel in the poker room. Night owls can enjoy smooth sounds in the Jazz Bar or dance until dawn in the disco.
If you’re looking for the ultimate accommodation how about the only luxury suite at sea designed by Ms Loren herself, the Sophia Loren Royal Suite? Located within MSC Divina’s exclusive enclave, the MSC Yacht Club those lucky enough to stay here will be able to relax amongst rich, red upholstery, specially designed lamps and a wild heather and deep red carpet especially chosen by the lady herself. The walls are adorned with photographs of her most famous screen roles, whilst those wishing to get ready for a really special evening can do so at a replica of Ms Loren’s dressing table – a proper film star experience!
But, whether you choose a luxury suite in the Yacht Club, a Balcony Cabin, a Super Family cabin or an Inside Cabin we like to think of each MSC Divina Caribbean cruise as paradise found!

These days when vast and impossibly glitzy cruise ships seem to appear every year, it is something of a comfort to know that there are cruise ships that maintain a certain restrained style. MSC Lirica is one such vessel, owing nothing to the ‘biggest and brashest is best’ school of cruise ship design.
Instead MSC Lirica delivers a high quality cruise experience to those looking for comfort and hospitality of the highest order. Her restrained sense of style comes courtesy of Giuseppe de Jorio whose skills have graced a number of MSC Cruises’ fleet. Passengers will discover tastefully decorated public areas with lots of brass and marble and intimate spaces like the Lord Nelson pub where nautical prints adorn the walls and easy-going, efficient service make it the perfect place for a pre-theatre drink.
Tradition gives way to modernity and super clean design in the Aurea Spa where you can enjoy amazing sea views as well as some of the finest spa treatments afloat – MSC spas are award winning, and it shows!

There’s never a dull moment aboard MSC Magnifica, though there’s ample deck space to find somewhere quiet to read a book or watch the waves go by if that’s your preference.
For sunny days there’s a solarium to make the most of those precious rays, whilst one of her 3 swimming pools features an ingenious ‘Magrodome’ (retractable roof) that’s just the ticket for those days that are less than perfect.
When it comes to fine dining and entertainment MSC Magnifica doesn’t disappoint; there are 5 restaurants, numerous bars, an internet café, cigar lounge and a beautiful state-of-the-art theatre. Elsewhere a cinema, casino and disco all compete for your attention whilst MSC Magnifica makes her way to the next port of call. And, just in case you’re worried by the effect that those 5 restaurants might have on your waistline then don’t forget the fully equipped gym, the sauna, the tennis, basketball and the spacious wrap-around decks that are perfect for a spot of jogging!
However, if pampering is more your cup of tea then MSC's award-winning Aurea Spa can turn the art of well-being into and all together more leisurely, more pleasurable pursuit.

Life onboard MSC Orchestra revolves around you and, given the facilities on offer, life can be pretty much what you want it to be. If relaxation is your cruise goal then you’ll have no trouble escaping from the pressures of everyday life. If you prefer your cruise to be a little more active then you can get fit on the jogging track, in the Sports Centre and the Body and Mind Spa. If you take a more leisurely approach to fitness then you may find a Turkish bath, sauna or a programme of massage will get you feeling toned up and feeling on top of the world. And, for those that really prefer a low impact attitude to life, then the simple pleasure of watching the world literally go by from the jacuzzi takes some beating!
Like all the MSC ships, MSC Orchestra is well equipped to take you on an exciting culinary journey. Why not begin that journey at the Shanghai Chinese restaurant or try the Four Seasons for an authentic a la carte experience? And, rest assured, you’ll find that every meal in the L’Ibiscus and Villa Borghese restaurants are occasions in themselves. If you're in the mood for something lighter try La Piazzetta and discover the best pizza outside Naples!
You’ll find the décor aboard MSC Orchestra is simply thrilling. You can soak up the ambience in the leopard-style Savannah Bar, try your luck at the Palm Beach Casino or catch a spectacular show at the equally spectacular Covent Garden Theatre.

Christened in Dover in April 2008 by MSC Cruises (UK), MSC Poesia is like MSC's very own poem to the sea. She is such a lovely ship that it's easy to wax lyrical about a cruise aboard MSC Poesia, just as it's easy to imagine yourself on a private balcony - there are 809 cabins with a balcony to choose from - overlooking the ocean under a star-filled sky.
During the summer months MSC Poesia cruises European waters taking in the majesty of the Norwegian fjords and the history and culture of the Baltic states. As summertime packs its bags and leaves Europe, MSC Poesia heads south for the perpetual carnival that is South America.
If you're lucky enough to enjoy a cruise aboard MSC Poesia you'll discover luxury cruising at its best. Like her sisters, MSC Poesia is designed with an eye for the spectacular. On board you'll find a waterfall with bridges in the foyer, a zen garden in the sushi bar and a serene 13,000 square foot spa. And as well as looking after you, MSC Poesia, the third MSC Musica class ship, also looks after the environment with the latest eco-technology.Suites and staterooms are spacious and elegant and most have private balconies. When you're out and about you can enjoy a glass of something with a certain vintage from the well stocked cellars of Il Grappolo d'Oro, or perhaps you'd prefer the casual ambience of the outdoor Mojito Bar? From casino to theatre and spa to cigar room, MSC Poesia has something for everyone.
Naturally MSC look after the kids too, with all manner of activities and a delightful Stone Age dinosaur-themed play area! Just as poetry brings lasting pleasure, the magnificent MSC Poesia cruise ship introduces a new dimension of enjoyment to the art of travelling by ship.

So what makes MSC Preziosa unique? Plenty is the short answer, but let’s start with some special ingredients aimed at the youngest guests like the one-off wonderland that is Doremi Castle. This spectacular aqua park will keep kids entertained – and thoroughly soaked – for hours. There’s a battery of water cannons and the suspenseful ‘drenching bucket’ to ensure that good natured water based fun is always on tap(!).
Not exclusively for the young, but aimed squarely at the young and adventurous at heart, Vertigo is the longest single-rider water slide afloat. This twisted 120 metre monster takes riders on a thrilling ride from Deck 18 out over the sea and back for happy landings on the decks below. We’re really proud that Vertigo was awarded the ‘Best Innovation’ by Cruise International in 2013. For more serene aquatic pleasures there’s a dreamy ‘infinity’ pool and, just so that the odd spot of inclement weather cannot spoil your fun, there’s even a retractable roof on one of the main pools. For sun-worshippers looking for peace and tranquillity the Top 18 area dedicates premium deck space and stunning sea views to adults who’ll appreciate its dedicated spa service, bar menu and complimentary fruit skewers.
Below decks the award-winning MSC Aurea Spa offers beauty and wellness treatments that will sooth away the tensions of everyday life, whilst the high end luxury of MSC Yacht Club’s exclusive suites, butler service, dedicated facilities and private decks remain the toast of luxury cruising. Naturally we could tell you more about the bars and lounges, about the Sports Bar and Diner with its bowling alley and F1 simulator, about the restaurants like Eataly where the best of Italian cuisine can be sampled in a sophisticated, minimalist environment or the exclusive Ristorante Italia, where a seriously upscale menu is available every night. But, with so much to tell you about, we thought we’d leave some things for you to discover yourself when you cruise on the Preziosa!

MSC Splendida was the second of ‘Fantasia class’ of cruise ships and the acclaim that greeted the launch of her sister would bode well for MSC Splendida. Indeed, the fact that MSC now have four ‘Fantasia class’ vessels says an awful lot about the quality of the original design.
Like her sisters MSC Splendida is a thoroughly modern yet decidedly stylish lady. She may bristle with features and facilities like squash courts, a 4D cinema and an F1 simulator but there is nothing ‘gimmicky’ about the on board experience on offer.
Nothing exemplifies this quality like the MSC Yacht Club, a VIP ‘ship within a ship’ area featuring 71 spacious suites and 24 hour butler service. Similarly the quality on offer at the MSC AUREA Spa has already garnered awards from the international cruise community. This class leading spa is run by highly-trained staff and combines the magic of Balinese massage with the most modern and exclusive treatments. Specialities include: traditional water treatments (a legacy from Roman times), saunas, Turkish bath, solarium, relaxation room, thalassotherapy, massage room and whirlpool baths. And, for those seeking more 'high impact' activities, there is an exercise room filled with the latest gym equipment.
Those looking to exercise outdoors will appreciate the jogging track, whilst those looking to cool off will appreciate MSC Splendida’s spectacular main pool complex (there are four pools onboard in total) where 150 fountains and water jets provide fun and a great antidote to the Mediterranean sunshine!
Want to sunbathe in peace and privacy? Soak up the sun in style in this adults-only sanctuary of serenity. Top 18 boasts premium deck space and stunning sea views, not forgetting its own dedicated spa service, bar menu and complimentary fruit skewers. For groups of friends, couples looking for a romantic hideaway or parents looking for some quiet time, Top 18 is the perfect place to relax, unwind and watch the waves go by.
MSC Cruises has always been sensitive to environmental issues and MSC Splendida is at the cutting edge ecologically. She is equipped with the most innovative technological systems to guarantee energy savings and to help protect the environment.

From breakfast in the morning to the midnight buffet, there are several dining options available on board. Have brunch delivered to the privacy of your stateroom, enjoy a casual outdoor lunch by the pool from the grill or pizzeria and sample a variety of snacks during the afternoon and evening.
Dinner is always a special occasion, the Italian meal itself is an art form! Traditional Italian cuisine is home cooking, la cucina casalinga, amateur cooking, from amare, cooking with love. Like our warm service, the spirit of our cuisine is always hospitable.
During our renowned seven-course dinner menu, experience the zest of flavours and gaiety of colours from an authentic Mediterranean cucina garlic, olives, basil, red pepper and tomatoes in our traditional family recipes. Our well-trained dining staff serves regional specialties creatively prepared from scratch by our chefs as well as classic favourites.
Wine connoisseurs will savour the selections or cap dinner off with a cappuccino or espresso. Afterwards, dessert! From Italian treats of tiramisu and cannolis to your favourite cakes, pastries and tarts! If you are celebrating a special occasion like a birthday, retirement, honeymoon or anniversary, do it with classic operatic drama: a cake, some bubbly and an Italian serenade.
