MSC Cruises has the youngest, most modern fleet in the world. We’ve grown from three classic vessels in 2003, to a truly global cruise line with one classic and ten magnificent, eco-friendly contemporary ships by 2010. That’s what we call spettacolare!

Our fleet’s godmother, screen legend Sophia Loren, is the embodiment of who we are – beautiful, passionate, Italian. From the genuine warmth of our Italian officers, to our Italian-inspired décor and Mediterranean flavors of our signature La Cucina Italiana cuisine, our guests enjoy a truly European experience.

MSC Cruises offers a vast array of itineraries calling on well over 100 ports, including many not-often-visited locales. From a wide variety of departure ports, our guests can explore fascinating cultures and unforgettable places throughout the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Northern Europe and South America, as well as on our Transatlantic Ocean Voyages. And in Fall 2010, we’ll offer our fi rst-ever Canada/New England Fall Foliage cruises.

The exclusive MSC Yacht Club on MSC Fantasia and MSC Splendida offers luxurious VIP suites, Complete with personal Butler. Our private enclave includes 24-hour Concierge service, sumptuous private reception area, lounge, pool and bar. All-inclusive amenities abound, such as complimentary mini-bar, plus a special menu of complimentary drinks and luscious specialty foods served by our Butlers.

There are times when less is truly more. Notable is the absence of non-stop broadcast messages – only essential ones are made. There are no waiters pushing drinks – only servers fulfi lling your wishes. And our serene MSC Aurea Spa offers soothing Balinese treatments in a tranquil Zen-like atmosphere. These subtle, unique qualities and experiences add to a more relaxing atmosphere on board.

Guests enjoy a variety of delicious dining choices, from regional Italian specialties to perennial American favorites. In addition to our elegant main restaurants and casual eateries, our contemporary ships also offer themed and specialty restaurants, ranging from sushi bars to nouvelle French cuisine.

Our lavish theater productions feature talented international performers who garner standing ovations night after night. Guests, travel agents and the press agree, we have some of the finest ntertainment at sea. In addition to a different show each evening, we offer live music from jazz to classical throughout the ship.

Our signature Kids Sail Free program makes MSC Cruises one of the best values in cruising. Add to this our complimentary Kids Clubs and captivating play areas, plus a Teen Club and special places just for them, and you have a fantastic vacation for all ages. From our family to yours – buon viaggio – bon voyage!

The atmosphere on our ships is one of understated elegance with fine artwork, flowing design and open vistas. Our public rooms boast some of the highest space-to-guest ratios at sea. And our hallmark is that we always exceed the white-glove test – our ships are among the cleanest afloat, with an average score of 99 out of 100 on USPH inspections.
