About MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises is a division of Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), a privately owned company with a longstanding history on the seas headed by captain Gianluigi Aponte. MSC, the world’s second-largest cargo line with approximately 300 ships, entered the cruise industry in 1988 with the introduction of MSC Cruises.  MSC Cruises combines a deep heritage at sea with an enthusiastic, young, motivated management team to present a company philosophy of innovation and Italian tradition. MSC Cruises currently operates eight cruise ships, including the MSC Orchestra (2007), Orchestra’s sister ship MSC Musica (2006), MSC Opera (2004), MSC Lirica (2003), MSC Sinfonia (2002), and MSC Armonia (2001.)  In addition, MSC has a third Musica-class vessel under construction for 2008 delivery to be named the MSC Poesia.  What’s more, Aker France has recently cut the first steel that will become MSC Fantasia, which will be 133,500 gross tons when it is delivered at the end of 2008. MSC has two Fantasia-class vessels (MSC Fantasia and MSC Serenata for 2009) on order, each which will each have 3,900 lower berths and a crew of 1,300.  These ships are the largest commissioned by a European ship owner to date, and will conclude a 4 billion Euros investment in cruise ship building initiated with the construction of the MSC Lirica in 2003.  This aggressive growth has vaulted MSC Cruises to the status of fastest growing cruise line in the industry, and with 12 ships in service by 2009 MSC Cruises expects to host more than 1 million guests annually by 2010.

MSC Cruises offers itineraries in the Mediterranean all year round, in Northern Europe, Transatlantic, the Caribbean, South America and South Africa.  MSC Cruises also co-sponsors Alinghi in the 32nd America’s Cup, which will take place in Valencia in June 2007.
