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.
