Anticipation is building for the 4th ship in
MSC Cruises' Musica class, MSC Magnifica.
Set to join MSC Poesia, MSC Fantasia and MSC Splendida as a new addition to the cruise class - which is to introduce VIP cruising through butler service and exclusive areas - it has been announced that the ship's aft section has been positioned in the Aker Yards at France's St Nazaire.
When the ship joins the fleet in 2010, it will be the 12th
MSC Cruises vessel and will continue the line's tradition of offering Italian-style cruises that are suitable for families, couples and single people alike.
Children's play areas provide a convenient way for families to organise their holidays while a spa area and pool enable travellers to balance their sightseeing with relaxation and rejuvenation.
Of the vessel's 1,275 staterooms, 80 per cent are to be outside staterooms while 65 per cent of these will have a balcony.
The company recently revealed details of its 2008-09 Caribbean season.
