MSC Lirica offers cruises in a traditionally elegant setting, decorated in Italian style. On board, you will find a vast array of entertainment! Here you will discover pools, numerous bars and restaurants, a beauty salon, a casino, a theater, and even a mini-golf course!

MSC Lirica is the first ship fully built and equipped in its exclusive style by MSC Cruises (in 2003).

For its outstanding seafaring qualities and excellent service, MSC Lirica has earned a number of prestigious international awards, including four stars from the Berlitz Guide.

MSC Lirica offers you unforgettable cruises along classic routes, focused on elegance, comfort, and hospitality in the best traditions of the Mediterranean lifestyle of MSC Cruises. The spaciousness of the ship is highlighted by its perspectives in the main atrium and the stunning ocean views from the panoramic windows.

But you will also find many other places, such as Swish Bar Beverly Hills or the traditional English-style pub Lord Nelson, the perfect spot for a drink before the theater. Modernity and tradition blend on this eco-friendly ship. The Broadway theater is a state-of-the-art reinterpretation of traditional cruise lines.

Please note that attendance at the theater for evening performances is only possible with a reservation (not required for other ships). There are three quick and easy ways to make a reservation: connect to the free onboard Wi-Fi with your smartphone or tablet, use the touch screens located on various decks of the ship, or ask at the reception.

The ship features spacious new cabins with balconies to delight our guests with stunning panoramic views, and the restaurant and buffet have been expanded to offer an even greater variety of culinary delights.

With the help of companies like Chicco, LEGO®, and Namco®, amazing new play areas have been created for children of all ages, starting with the exciting Spray Park filled with fun water features.

And to offer even more ways to relax, the luxurious MSC Aurea SPA has been expanded on the ship, adding more space for massage rooms.

Experiencing something new to enjoy every moment on board, it’s no wonder that travelers become lyrical, as the cruise ship MSC Lirica is the heart of their journey, as well as the incredible places it unveils.
