On board MSC Opera you will discover sumptuous décor with a sense of openness.

Real wood, marble and rich, traditional fabrics give a true sense of operatic grandeur.

From mini-golf and shuffleboard up on Sun Deck to the busy shops on the Via Condotti, life onboard always ticks along sweetly. You’ll find kids enjoying the Ice Cream Bar, dads relaxing in the Beer Bar and the health conscious jogging on the jogging track or enjoying the view whilst ‘working-out’ in the gym.

Naturally all that fresh air can work up an appetite, yet there’s no need to go indoors if you don’t want to, simply head for Il Patio for a spot of Al fresco dining. If you’d rather sit down in a more formal environment the L’Approdo and La Caravella restaurants turn every meal into an occasion. In the evenings MSC Opera really comes alive with spectacular shows in the theatre and great music in the bars and lounges. You’ll find people flirting with Lady Luck in the Casino and the young and young at heart dancing to the small hours in the Byblos Disco.

You’ll quickly find that MSC Opera has the all important ingredient that turns a good cruise ship into a great one: she has atmosphere.

Sumptuous décor and fine facilities come as standard but above all, a cruise aboard MSC Opera is sociable and fun. All ages are generally represented and the crew, the officers, the entertainers and musicians work together to generate a fantastic atmosphere.
