Making MSC Meraviglia

05 Sep 2016 | by Sarah Clarke

Mediterranean style cruise line MSC Cruises recently celebrated the launch of it's first Vista Class cruise ship, MSC Meraviglia. The ship is the largest to be built by a European based cruise line and comes built with many innovative features and exciting highlights, including MSC for Me onboard technology.

Sailing the Mediterranean from 2017, MSC Meraviglia transports guests to popular ports such as Barcelona, Naples, Genoa and Sicily. There is plenty to do onboard during sea days with entertainment ranging from live ariel performances to augmented reality experiences.

Vista Class smart technology includes a 262 ft LED dome providing impressive light shows, passenger smart NFC wristbands and even a TV studio with a radio broadcasting suite onboard. Planet Cruise have been lucky enough to follow MSC Meraviglia's process from construction to christening and captured a few action shots of MSC Meraviglia in the making.
