The latest ships of the MSC fleet are the fruit of the creativity and all-Italian style of the De Jorio Design International studio, established in Genoa in 1956 by the architect Giuseppe de Jorio. De Jorio Design International is a leading Italian company in the architecture and interior/exterior design sector, and specializes in furnishings and artistic projects.

The last two sea jewels that joined the MSC Cruises fleet are MSC Fantasia and MSC Splendida both build by Aker Yards France. These are the largest ships built by an European ship owner and represented an investment of over 1 billion Euros. Each is 133,500 grt, 1,093 ft long and  124 ft wide. The two ships can accommodate up to 3,959 passengers and 1,325 crew each.

MSC Magnifica (Musica class ship) will join the fleet in 2010.

Today MSC Cruises has a fleet of 10 cruise ships, by 2010 the fleet will increase to 11 ships!
