Overview
The incredible MSC Virtuosa’s namesake comes from the word virtuoso, meaning someone highly skilled in music. Each deck will, in fact, be named after a different musical instrument. This new cruise ship will be one of the two largest in MSC Cruises’ fleet, along with her sister ship MSC Grandiosa. MSC Virtuosa gives guests the best experience with its expanding digital offer, spearheaded by MSC for Me and their virtual personal cruise assistant, Zoe.
