Offering a rich history, European elegance and state-of-the-art megaships, MSC Cruises is the third-largest cruise brand in the world. Based in Switzerland as part of the global MSC Group shipping dynasty, they have been taking passengers on enriching and immersive voyages for almost 50 years.
There are more than 20 ships in the MSC fleet, each carrying between 2,500 and 6,700 people, making them some of the largest vessels at sea. Their ships are popular for a family cruise holiday, with features like swimming pools, waterparks, waterslides, rollercoasters, 4D cinemas, bowling alleys and ziplines. Expansive shopping areas, onboard art galleries and billiard rooms add a touch of sophistication, while the Bridge of Sighs glass skywalk on MSC Seascape offers unbelievable views. Luxury travellers should book in to the Yacht Club, a five-star ‘ship within a ship’ concept with premium suites, private spaces, exceptional dining and butler service.
Hop aboard a Mediterranean cruise, sail the icy waters of Greenland, explore the dramatic landscapes of South Africa or marvel at the glamorous beaches of South America. On a Caribbean cruise, spend the day at the exclusive Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, a private island in the Bahamas.
Sustainability is a key focus and each MSC ship has industry-leading features like advanced wastewater treatment, smart HVAC, LED lighting, heat recovery and energy efficient systems. Many ships, like MSC Euribia, are powered by LNG (liquid natural gas) and the whole fleet will be at net zero emissions by 2050.
