MSC Armonia

MSC Armonia is the first ship of the Lirica class.

MSC Armonia was completely refurbished in 2014. After a major renovation, the ship features new children's areas, shops (including Dior, Lancome, and Dolce & Gabbana), a modern theater, a water attraction Spray Park for kids, and much more. All cabins will be fully updated and decorated, with new beds and LCD televisions installed. Many areas of the ship have new carpeting, walls and ceilings have been repainted and redecorated, and furniture has been replaced.

The children's clubs are now even more accurately divided by age: Teens (15-17 years), Young (12-14 years), Juniors (7-11 years), Mini (3-6 years), and - uniquely for cruise ships today - there are mini-clubs for children from six months to 3 years. We are sure parents will appreciate this.

Undoubtedly, MSC has paid great attention to the children's concept. But adults won't have to be bored either: pools and spa, a variety of restaurants and cafes, a casino, a lounge with live music, a real Irish pub, an ice cream café. even a huge concert hall for a ship, where new performances await guests every day. You can reserve a spot using a modern multimedia system, literally while waiting for the elevator.

Your dreams will come true in the luxurious setting of MSC Armonia, created with the sole purpose of ensuring you enjoy your vacation on board.
