MSC Cruises has always put a great deal of effort into the choice and preparation of meals served onboard. You can choose between 5 restaurants, 7 bars and lounges and 2 outdoor bars. Cuisine onboard tantalizes taste buds with thousands of different delicious dishes to choose from.
You will not only taste wonderful Mediterranean cuisine, but you will also be able to enjoy dishes that are typical of the countries you visit, prepared with specially selected, fresh ingredients. From breakfast to lunch and spectacular dinners under the stars, you will find MSC Cruises’ unbeatable style in all dishes.
Entertainment onboard MSC Magnifica is guaranteed from morning to evening. Expect 10 pin bowling, 4D cinema and even a futuristic disco. Night-time entertainment won’t disappoint either and whether you choose to watch a show at the Royal Theatre, hit the jackpot at the Atlantic City Casino or give your vocals a workout at karaoke, you may well find yourself stumbling into bed in the early hours of the morning.
If you’d prefer to spend the evening kicking back and enjoying a drink, there’s a bar onboard to suit every mood:
MSC Magnifica's award-winning spa offers massages, beauty treatments, a sauna, Turkish baths and arelaxation area so you can leave feeling like you’ve been well and truly pampered. For those who like to stay active during their holiday, there’s a well-equipped fitness centre and a jogging track, meaning you can work up a sweat (and maybe work off all of that food you’ve indulged on?).
Young cruisers will love the age appropriate youth activities onboard, with 5 different kids and teen clubs. Each venue has its own unique design and theme.
Other activities onboard include:
MSC Magnifica is offering an incredible world cruise in 2026. For more information, see our blog - Best World Cruises.
Stay connected on the seas with new SpaceX Starlink connectivity on MSC Magnifica. With improved Wi-Fi in both public spaces and your cabin, you can enjoy faster internet speeds with one of two packages on offer: MSC’s Browse Internet Cruise Package and the Browse & Stream Cruise Package. With both offering slightly different services, but fantastic internet connectivity, be sure to choose the best package for you!
Myself, my husband and my son - balcony cabin. The extra space was good, however, the sofa bed was against the dresser, which had a stool underneath, therefore unable to sit at it to dry my hair etc. I had to sit on a cushion on the metal frame of the bed. The sockets for plugs were so low down - almost against the dresser, my plugs (being European and American) didn't fit. We had to hire an extension cable from reception - $30, which was refunded on leaving. These were the only sockets, so charging 3 phones and using hairstyler, wasn't great. The entertainment was good but no Broadway type shows compared to other cruiselines . Lovely lounge and bar areas and singers, musicians etc were all good and always something going on. Outside entertainment really good. Deck parties really good. Silent disco was great. The main dining room menu was fine, but a bit repetitive and the meat was sometimes fatty and I had to return a few mains as they were cold. Service was slow but staff very nice and helpful. Used the buffet more. Had a great holiday - islands were all lovely. Stunning beaches. Would sail with MSC again, but on a newer ship.
I didn't make use of the entertainment, activities, or excursions so cannot really comment. Hence the negative response.
Had a wonderful cruise apart from the accident with my granddaughters switch game in the cabin.
Lovely ship. friendly staff, fantastic food, amazing value, impressive facilities. Photographer's pester too much, excursion rules terrible, swabbing stressfully too late in the embarking process (should be done on arrival, not whilst waiting to board the ship with key cards in hand and excited children)
