MSC Cruises
European elegance, Italian soul and world-class entertainment across a fleet of 22 ships — from intimate Lirica-class classics to the LNG-powered World Class pioneers.
A Legacy of European Seafaring Excellence
Founded in 1989 as an extension of the MSC Group — one of the world's largest shipping companies — MSC Cruises has grown from a single vessel into a fleet of over 22 modern ships. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the line is built on a tradition of Italian artistry, Swiss precision and genuine Mediterranean hospitality that guests feel from the moment they board.
MSC Cruises sails to more than 200 destinations across all seven continents — from the sun-drenched Greek islands to the fjords of Norway, the vibrant Caribbean to the ancient Red Sea. Eight distinct ship classes span every style of cruising: from intimate Lirica-class classics perfect for port-rich Mediterranean itineraries, to the revolutionary World Class fleet powered by LNG technology — the most advanced cruise ships ever built.
The MSC Yacht Club — a ship-within-a-ship available on most modern vessels — delivers butler service, private pools, exclusive dining and keycard-only access, offering an ultra-luxury experience within the greater ship. And the line's private island, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas, is a destination in itself.
LNG-powered mega-ships — the future of cruising. Revolutionary design with 7 immersive districts, record-breaking thrills and the most advanced technology at sea.
Enlarged Meraviglia class with the longest LED domes at sea, 12+ restaurants, Galaxy Pavilion VR entertainment, and the exclusive MSC Yacht Club.
The LED dome pioneers — 93m of indoor sky transforms nightly into a cinematic spectacle. Broadway shows, 12 themed restaurants and the Galaxy Pavilion.
Built for the sea — floor-to-ceiling glass, infinity pools and record-breaking thrills like Robotron keep the ocean always in sight.
Purpose-built to keep the sea always in sight — boardwalk promenades, glass lifts and aft pool terraces facing the open ocean.
