MSC Meraviglia is the first ship to be built from the MSC Vista generation of cruise ships, and is the largest ship built by a European based cruise line. MSC Meraviglia visits a range of exciting destinations, and provides an outstanding level of comfort and style to all who sail with her. Initial itineraries feature popular ports in the Mediterranean and Europe including Barcelona, Naples, and Sicily; with Genoa, Marseille, and Barcelona being the ships three homeports.
Meraviglia comes with a number of new innovations and onboard technologies, including Near Field Communication (NFC) which allows quick and easy onboard payment along with location and booking services. Guests can use MSC for Me technology to book spa treatments, unlock their cabin, or even check on the kids with geo-location.
Family cabins have received an update, and new
cluster cabins - the size of three cabins - are now available for larger families. With up to 17 different cabin types available, there is sure to be something for everyone.
MSC Meraviglia can comfortably accommodate up to 5,700 passengers, and with generous levels of entertainment onboard there is guaranteed to be something to suit everyone.
Foodies can get their fix from the Mediterranean style village with speciality dining, and everyone will be wowed by the grand LED dome ceiling providing mood lighting and spectacular displays.
