Description — MSC Bellissima

MSC Bellissima is a magnificent blend of innovation, elegance, and cutting-edge technology. Scheduled to debut in early March 2019, this ship is the sister ship to the MSC Meraviglia! Its home port will be Genoa, though other options are also possible-including the ports of Barcelona, Naples, Marseille, and Messina.

On board the MSC Bellissima, you’ll find the new, revolutionary MSC for Me app (thanks to a partnership with Samsung). It offers a flexible approach that lets you plan your restaurant visits to fit your daily schedule.

The main attraction of the MSC Bellissima is its two-level indoor promenade with a massive LED dome that displays not only the ever-changing colors of the sky throughout the day but also a variety of enchanting images. Here you can take a stroll and enjoy the beautiful views, stop by one of the cafes or restaurants to savor a delicious, aromatic cup of coffee, and then head out to explore the boutiques and shops. The Horizon Pool, an outdoor pool that attracts sunbathers during the day and transforms into a dance and entertainment venue in the evening and at night.

More details about the entertainment programs that will take place on the cruise ship: music, fun games, spectacular shows, and other activities, including those for families with children. MSC Cruises partners with such famous brands as Chicco, Lego, and Cirque du Soleil!

We can’t fail to mention the wonderful cuisine that accompanies every MSC Cruises voyage. All of the company’s cruise ships-and the MSC Bellissima, of course, is no exception-feature excellent restaurants that serve exceptionally delicious and healthy dishes made from the freshest, highest-quality ingredients.

Not long ago, MSC Cruises signed a catering contract with the renowned Italian restaurant chain Eataly, whose signature dishes will perfectly complement the exquisite Mediterranean and international cuisine.
