Things to do
Spa and fitness
Downtime onboard MSC Armonia can be spent however you wish. Visit the Aurea Spa to experience a traditional Balinese massage or take advantage of the stunning sea views while you work out at the well-equipped gym.
However, getting active onboard doesn’t have to involve a trip to the gym, so get that blood pumping up on deck with a game of tennis or basketball, reach new heights on the climbing wall or test your golfing abilities with a turn on the miniature putting green.
Recreation
Daytimes onboard MSC Armonia have a wealth of activities for guests to enjoy. Nothing says “cruise holiday” more than hours spent lounging by the pool with a drink in hand and with two pools, sun loungers and hot tubs, choose your favourite spot and settle down for a day of relaxing. Inside, cruisers can find several shops where you can find a range of duty-free bargains.
