WHAT'S IT LIKE TO CRUISE WITH MSC?

Imagine your journey, a new horizon everyday

To see the world with MSC is to be transported to incredible vistas and enjoy unforgettable experiences. Make time for relaxation and discovery in surroundings that feel as welcoming and comforting as home.

BE OUR GUEST ALL THE COMFORT

Welcome on board your MSC cruise; your vacation is about to start! In your thoughtfully-designed cabin, take in the stunning sea views and listen to the sound of the ocean. Unpacking just once, the world is waiting to greet you!

Whether it’s a suite, a balcony cabin or interconnecting cabins for families, every detail has been carefully considered to ensure you’ll feel wonderfully rested and pampered. All settled in? It’s time to take a peek at the daily programme to find out what’s in store. Head to the professional hair and nail salon or barbershop to be glammed up. Then, it’s time to shine as you walk down the staircase to start your journey in style.

READY, SET, GO! ALL THE ACTIVITIES

There are so many thrills and spills at your fingertips that the days spent at sea will be just as memorable as those in port. The only tricky bit will be choosing what to do.

First, it’s time for some fun.

From shopping to sipping cocktails by the pool, there’s something for all ages. As the sun sets, there’s even more to do.

A cruise is about making unforgettable memories: ashore and onboard. There’s so much to do that every second will be one to treasure. Memorable moments await whether you choose to do as much or as little as you want.

IT’S SHOWTIME! ALL THE ENTERTAINMENT

After a busy day exploring all the extraordinary sights ashore, you’re back on board for a spectacular evening of fun and entertainment. After another delicious meal, you’re spoilt for choice with the range of night-time activities every night.

First, check out that top-end show you love featuring an international line-up of artists in the Broadway-style theatre. Then, catch that live band you love as you enjoy a digestif.

If that’s not what you feel like doing tonight, then why not hit the casino for a night of glamour and roulette or dance the night away at the disco.

Or if you’re looking to spend some quality moments with the kids, then why not head to the arcade for some classic family time? Oh, and don’t forget to sign up for the everpopular MSC MasterChef cooking competition (this is itinerary dependent).

The schedule’s packed with fun!

We’re here to ensure every meal onboard is a celebration. Whether healthy or indulgent, fine dining or casual cuisine, sophisticated or simple, we are passionate about making fantastic food.

EXPLORE THE WORLD THROUGH FOOD

From yummy sashimi to gourmet meals, and whether you are a foodie or a fussy eater, our restaurants offer a kaleidoscope of global choices and styles.

SAVOUR THE FLAVOUR ALL THE TASTES

Every meal on the ship will take you on a journey of discovery with delicious dishes inspired by each destination and daily specials based on fresh local ingredients

So, this morning you’ve woken up craving the exotic. No problem. We have the perfect choice for your taste and mood. From snacks-on-the-go to kid-friendly options, from light and tasty dishes to indulgent desserts, there’s mouth-watering cuisine for every moment.

Planning to stop by the buffet for lunch? Then pull up a chair and watch our skilled chefs at work as you feast on various cuisines with the freedom to treat yourself at any time. As night falls, do you feel like being even more spoiled? Step inside one of our Main Restaurants and sit for a white tablecloth dinner designed to wow. Impeccable service and incredible sea views will make your meal more than a mouthful of memories. Delicious!

TIME TO UNWIND ALL ABOUT YOU

There’s nothing like a day of discovery ashore, but today you’ve made an appointment with yourself.

After a hi-tech gym workout, you’re ready for some rest & relaxation in the sumptuous MSC Aurea Spa. Expert Balinese massage therapists will immerse you in the ancient knowledge and rituals of the Orient. It is a unique and unforgettable experience that revitalizes your body, mind and spirit, infusing all with a calming sense of peace.

THE NEXT ADVENTURE ALL ABOUT DISCOVERY

What do you want to do today? Whether it’s discovering histories and traditions, seeing breathtaking natural wonders, kicking back on the beach or getting an adrenalin hit, the excursions you’ve chosen will let you experience each place just as you wanted to.

Why not choose one of our unique eco-friendly shore excursions. Like all the others, this one will stay with you forever. The only thing left to do is book your next cruise.

Happy planning!
