Striking the right chord and pushing the boundaries of guest experience
MSC Virtuosa is one of the two largest in MSC Cruises’ fleet, along with her sister ship MSC Grandiosa, boasting an impressive array of guest features to deliver a memorable cruise holiday experience.
Delivered on 1 February, 2021, the second in the Meraviglia-plus class of ships features additional cabins and even more public space and, as one of the most environmentally-sound ships at sea, is an energy-efficient role model for modern cruising.
The name itself comes from the word virtuoso, meaning someone highly skilled in music, which is why each of the 19 decks bears the name of a different composer.
One of the highlights of the 181,000-ton MSC Virtuosa’s onboard entertainment will be the two brand new Cirque du Soleil at Sea shows, created exclusively for MSC Cruises’ guests to enjoy in the 945-seat theatre.
The Meraviglia generation ships are characterised by the iconic 101-metre-long promenade with a stunning LED sky dome as the social heart of the ship.
The two-deck space is lined with boutiques, restaurants and bars and is the ideal place to enjoy your stay while shopping, eating and relaxing. And in the evening, it comes alive with music, entertainment and more.
MSC Virtuosa has been designed to be rich in onboard features and offers guests a wide range of entertainment, dining, relaxation, shopping and other features as well as the exclusive MSC Yacht Club “ship within a ship” concept
Highlights include:
- MSC for Me technology with every cabin fitted with custom-built voice-enabled Artificial Intelligence. Zoe, MSC Cruises’ new digital cruise assistant, speaks seven languages and will be on-hand to offer guests a simple and stress-free way to cruise and information
- A huge choice of both fine dining and more casual options serving fresh, authentic food to meet the tastes of all guests
- An extended Promenade with a larger shopping area featuring a new restaurant concept exclusively for MSC Aurea experience guests. In addition, a new bar and lounge, L’Atelier Bistrot, offers lounge seating with a stage and a dance floor in the heart of the Promenade
- A wide array of family facilities and entertainment make this ship ideal for family holidays, with programmes and facilities designed in partnership with leading family experts including LEGO and Chicco.
