MSC Cruises

Mediterranean Shipping Company was launched in 1970 and is one of the leading global shipping lines of the world, operating 134 container vessels.

A privately owned company with a longstanding history on the seas headed by Captain Gianluigi Aponte, MSC entered the cruise industry in 1988.

MSC Cruises operates a fleet of 5 ships in the
Mediterranean and Caribbean.

The MSC Experience

In essence, MSC Cruises has made true Italian service the heart of its business and its key point of differentiation in the cruise industry.

MSC service, cuisine and entertainment is European in style and flavour, offering a nice change of pace from the super-liners of North American heritage.

Its newest ships are the Lirica, launched in early 2003 , and Opera, due to launch in 2004. Both are over 50,000 tons and offer outstanding amenities and entertainment options.

Passenger Profile

Predominantly a European crowd aged 30+, and quite a lot of families with children in the summer months.

Children’s Programs

Apart from certain high season sailings, children under 14 cruise free. This combined with a good activities program ensures there are usually a good number of kids onboard.
