A Ship Designed to Amaze
MSC Meraviglia is a masterpiece of modern shipbuilding, offering a blend of elegance and innovation. At more than 1,000 feet long, she can accommodate over 5,000 guests yet never feels crowded thanks to clever design and spacious decks.
At the heart of the ship lies the Galleria Meraviglia, a 315-foot indoor promenade lined with restaurants, cafés, and boutiques. Overhead, a vast LED dome displays sunrises and starry skies, transforming the space into a living work of art. By day, it’s a relaxed spot for shopping or coffee; by night, it bursts to life with live music, parties, and spontaneous performances.
Outdoor Leisure and Relaxation
Cruising is all about connection to the sea, and the Horizon Pool on Meraviglia delivers just that. During the day, it’s a peaceful open-air retreat with panoramic ocean views. As evening arrives, it becomes an entertainment space under the stars. Guests can enjoy deck parties, dancing, and open-air cinema nights, all set against the stunning backdrop of the sea.
Those seeking something even more exclusive can retreat to the MSC Yacht Club, a private area offering suite accommodation, a dedicated restaurant, butler service, and panoramic lounges. It’s a ship-within-a-ship concept that offers privacy while keeping the full amenities of MSC Meraviglia close at hand.
World-Class Entertainment Onboard
When evening falls, Meraviglia truly shines. The ship’s Broadway Theatre hosts six different productions each week, even on seven-night cruises. These world-class shows range from dance spectaculars to live-music performances that regularly earn standing ovations.
For something entirely unique, the Carousel Lounge presents Carousel Productions at Sea, two original shows created exclusively for this class of ship. Rock Circus fuses acrobatics with iconic rock hits, while House of Houdini celebrates the legendary illusionist with daring stunts and stagecraft. Guests can sip a signature cocktail while being immersed in these spectacular performances, an experience available only on MSC Cruises’ Meraviglia-class ships.
Wellness and Fitness on Board
Balance indulgence with rejuvenation at the MSC Aurea Spa, a Balinese-inspired sanctuary offering massages, facials, and body treatments. Its thermal area, beauty salon, and nail boutique make it a perfect escape for those wanting to unwind completely at sea.
Fitness enthusiasts will love the MSC Gym by Technogym®, equipped with cutting-edge cardio and strength-training equipment. From sunrise yoga to high-intensity interval sessions, guests can maintain their routine, or start a new one, while enjoying panoramic ocean views through floor-to-ceiling windows.
Culinary Highlights
Dining aboard MSC Meraviglia is a journey around the world. The main restaurants serve Mediterranean-inspired dishes crafted with seasonal ingredients, while speciality venues add a gourmet touch. Options include the American-style Butcher’s Cut Steakhouse, the theatrical Kaito Teppanyaki, and the fun Hola! Tacos & Cantina.
For a quick bite or sweet treat, the Marketplace Buffet and Jean-Philippe Chocolat & Café never disappoint. With everything from freshly baked croissants to handmade pralines, there’s something to tempt every palate.
Destinations Worth Discovering
Although MSC Meraviglia spends much of her time sailing the Caribbean and The Bahamas, she regularly operates European itineraries, including seasonal voyages that depart directly from Southampton. Sailing from the UK means you can skip airport transfers and begin your holiday the moment you step on board.
Highlights of her Caribbean routes include Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line’s private island in The Bahamas. Guests can enjoy crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and late-night stays to witness the island’s unforgettable sunsets and star-filled skies.
For European sailings, itineraries often feature the Norwegian Fjords, France, and Spain - making MSC Meraviglia one of the most versatile ships in the fleet for travellers who want both adventure and convenience.
