MSC Splendida

Overview

MSC Cruises' newest ships are also their largest and filled with new features, including the MSC Yachts Club—99 luxury suites with their own private library, lounge, swimming pool, restaurant, and sun deck. The spa's well-being center has a thermal cave and therapy pool for relaxation. The children's play area includes a swimming pool with waterslide. Movies are shown in interactive "4-D" cinema. To test your driving skills, there are Formula 1 simulators. Unusual for a cruise ship, there is also a squash court.

Interior decor blends art deco and art nouveau touches with the authentic Italian designs for which other MSC Cruises ships are known. The extensive use of various colored marbles adds a luxurious quality to the traditionally styled public lounges.

MSC Cruises has always been sensitive to environmental issues, and Fantasia-class ships are on the cutting edge ecologically. They are equipped with the most innovative technological systems to guarantee savings in energy and protection of the environment, such as the water processing systems. Although MSC Divina had not launched as of this writing, it should be essentially similar; however, it will have more cabins and a higher double occupancy rate.
