MSC Fantasia

Elegant and sophisticated dining options are available onboard MSC Fantasia at the main restaurants. These arrangements are designed for a relaxed night of fine cuisine where guests have the choice of two sittings per evening. State your preference before you cruise and a table will be allocated to you for the entire duration of your cruise. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menus cover a wide variety of tempting choices, which can also cater for gluten-free, vegetarian and kosher.

The buffet onboard a cruise is always a big hit and MSC Cruises has introduced an even more flexible service, serving Mediterranean and International cuisine non-stop for 20 hours a day, from 6:00 until 2:00. Individual stations include a Meat Carvery, Bakery Corner, Wellness Corner, Take-away Station and a dedicated Kids Corner.

Other complimentary dining options include a continental breakfast delivered to the privacy of your stateroom and a casual outdoor lunch by the pool from the grill or pizzeria.

Book MSC Yacht Club Class and you will have private access to Silver Service Restaurant, which has exclusive delicacies, an extensive wine list with expert sommelier guidance and a dedicated gourmet healthy eating menu. The Top Sail Lounge offers a variety of Italian and international dishes, freshly prepared, plus an à la carte connoisseur selection of premium beverages and fine wines. The top-class pool sundeck is also exclusive to MSC Yacht Club members and features pool snacks and a refreshing drink menu.

Whether you are here to enjoy the shows, to dance the night away or to star gaze on the wonderful sun deck, MSC Fantasia is ready and waiting to entertain you.

The lounges have bands playing music for all tastes from pianists and string quartets to pop, rock and oldies. Many of the nightly shows have an accent of the Mediterranean—vivid Flamenco dancers from Spain or historical glances back to Old Europe. Next, it's time for Vegas. Test your luck with poker, roulette or blackjack in the casino. After a visit to the midnight buffet for a late-night snack, have one more dance or slip off for a night cap.

Spa and fitness

Onboard MSC Fantasia you'll find fluffy towels and plush robes for the steam room and sauna, delicate flower petals and warm lighting in your massage room and state-of-the-art fitness equipment in the gym. Right near the luxurious private spa treatment rooms, there is a relaxation and meditation area surrounded by glass overlooking the open ocean. Furnished with small teak beds and located on the top deck of the ship, it’s the perfect place for some quiet time to rest and rejuvenate.

MSC's beauty treatments blend the best of ancient and modern practices incorporating elements of natural minerals, healing salts and aromatherapy to modern methods such as electronic stimulation. The health centre offers specialised treatments targeted for various purposes including anti-wrinkle facial treatments, firming and exfoliating all-over body treatments and several types of massage incorporating shiatsu, reflexology and sports therapy. Meanwhile, the salon offers a full range of services from cuts and colouring to make-up application and waxing.

Recreation

Each day brings different activities. No matter whether you like to sleep in or wake up early, stroll around the deck or run on the jogging track, refresh yourself with a swim or relax in the whirlpool, play deck games or relax in the card room, there is the perfect area to suit every guest. The library is stocked with books for your perusal and there’s an Internet Café to email friends and family with updates throughout your journey.

If you’d like to pick up a memento to remind you of your cruising holiday, head to the shops where there is an extensive offering of duty-free treats, as well as all the basics that you may need during your holiday.
