Once you step aboard an MSC ship, you'll feel the difference true Italian style can make in cruise design. It's in the grand ambiance of our lobbies, many with sweeping staircases. And in the luxury decor of gleaming wood, Italian marble and Swarovski crystal stairs in the Yacht Club aboard the new MSC Fantasia. You'll discover the difference in the high quality, tranquil experience of our luxury style spas. Or the cozy ambiance of our espresso bars and the comfortable style of our accommodations.

Our Italian inspired luxury decor captures the best of Italy's renowned art, design and architecture, in an atmosphere of understated elegance and European sophistication.

Italians are known for l'arte di vivere - the art of living and enjoying life. And so you will discover an endless array of pleasures and fun activities onboard.

Perhaps you'll begin with an invigorating yoga class, volleyball game, tennis or miniature golf. Stop by the Internet Cafe or international library while the kids enjoy the fun of our complimentary youth program that includes art, dancing and games for kids of all ages. Enjoy shopping in our onboard boutiques, or enrich your mind with an Italian lesson.

When evening arrives, la notte magica - the night is magical. Inspired entertainment brings standing ovations for our unique brand of exotic theatricality. We offer different shows in our theater each night, such as passionate flamenco dancers from Spain for a touch of the Mediterranean.

Your enchanted evening continues with dancing in our disco and live performances throughout the ship, from a classical string quartet to jazz and piano. Or have fun singing along to your favorite Italian songs. And in the European gaming tradition, we invite you to try your luck in our casino. Then end your evening with a romantic stroll on the pool deck where le stelle brilliano luminose - the stars shine bright.
