Japan & Korea from Tokyo, 2 April 2026 (9 nights)

The MSC Bellissima is a lovely ship, a little smaller than the one we sailed on earlier this year, the Virtuosa, but still a joy to travel in. We upgraded to the Yacht Club which we feel was well worth it as the service level is that much higher, there's more peace within the club than elsewhere in the ship, the food was excellent and the use of a butler really does come into its own when leaving the ship for an excursion etc, for going to a show, in fact for doing anything on the ship as there's no queueing for anything, the butler just takes you to the front!For some strange reason I was surprised to find a large % of Japanese guests on the ship, which was stupid in hindsight, and we (English speaking) were definitely in the minority - although our Japanese fellow cruisers were extremely nice and friendly to talk to. We both felt that the food on board Bellissima was superior to the Virtuosa and the shows were much better with a good variety of real quality singers and dancers. The ultimate question would be - would we sail on Bellissima again - yes!

I traveled alone but in no time at all it was like I was traveling with a group great company many people were traveling alone and we all got on together it was the first time I traveled alone but it wouldn't stop me from doing it again as for the ship it had everything to could ask for great service lovely food cabin was so comfortable thanks once again I will definitely be booking with you in the future thanks so much

Went on 28 June, Beautiful ship, Yes it's noisy in buffet Restraunt, but doesn't spoil your cruise. Food in buffet was fine, but some food such as Chilli, and Pizzas which had bacon, meat was all day, but you can just get something else, but MSC need to take note. Main Restraunt was lovely, you where made too feel special and looked after well. Food choice was about 6 dishes or they would make you something, on request. West end style shows each evening which are free. We had Inside cabin for our first cruise beautiful and room service fantastic staff work hard throughout the ship, long hours, some looked tired, as they work 7 days a week 12 hour days, so give them some understanding and respect. I took a normal 2 piece suite, shirt and tie, but as long as your smart for the main restaraunt you'll be fine. Trips from ship sent really long enough i.e Pompeii, which was only 1.20 mins as we also went to Sorrento, so bear that in mind when planning your trips. Porta Fino is a must go trip. Where going on the same ship beginning of March to Dubai, so it must be good. P.S plenty of sun loungers with plenty of room, but the pool area is a busy place.
