About MSC Preziosa
The MSC Preziosa is the latest ship in the Fantasia class of MSC Cruises and was commissioned in 2013. The MSC Preziosa offers space for approx. 3,500 passengers at a length of 333.30 meters. The public areas are very modern and the color scheme is a bit simpler than on some other MSC ships. Many natural materials were used, such as natural stone for the paved piazza. The staterooms are also more classic, but decorated with colorful accents. The MSC Preziosa has an exclusive MSC Yacht Club area.
About MSC Cruises
Welcome aboard MSC Cruises! The cruise line was founded in 1970 and is the cruise division of the container shipping company Mediterranean Shipping Company. MSC Cruises is the world's largest privately family-owned cruise line (Aponte family) and has many years of expertise on the seven seas. The Aponte family has also established an independent charitable organisation, the MSC Foundation, which is also present on board and supports many humanitarian and environmental projects.
MSC Cruises offers its guests a Mediterranean and modern lifestyle at a good price-performance ratio. Guests of all ages feel at home on the sometimes colourful, sometimes understated ships. The ships are also well received on the German market and the number of German guests is growing steadily. A knowledge of English is recommended, although some services are also offered in German.
With the MSC Yacht Club, the ‘ship-within-a-ship concept’, MSC Cruises offers an exclusive area on selected ships with luxurious suites, its own restaurant with five-star service and other amenities.

Sustainability MSC Preziosa
MSC Cruises has set itself the long-term goal of achieving zero emissions in all its operations. In order to already avoid as many emissions as possible, the MSC Preziosa has a shore power connection and can therefore be connected to a shore power system in all ports where it is available. Other sustainability measures on board include reducing water consumption, comprehensive wastewater treatment processes and the installation of a ballast water treatment system. In addition, the MSC Preziosa's Environmental Officer ensures that special procedures are followed to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. The cruise line also has a program to reduce plastics, for example, all plastic straws have been replaced with 100 % compostable alternatives and in collaboration with suppliers, disposable plastics are removed from products and packaging wherever possible.
MSC Preziosa Staterooms
The staterooms on the MSC Preziosa are modern and comfortably furnished and have a bathroom with shower, TV, telephone, minibar and safe. The interior and oceanview staterooms measure approx. 12-20 sqm, the balcony staterooms 14-19 sqm and the suites have 21-42 sqm in size, depending on the category. The suites are equipped with a bathtub instead of a shower. Tip: In the MSC Yacht Club, guests can expect suites ranging in size from 22-51 square meters as well as many amenities such as butler service, a restaurant and a pool deck just for the Yacht Club and many drinks included.
Atmosphere on board the MSC Preziosa
On board the MSC Preziosa, it's like landing in a well-kept holiday hotel: good food, a wide range of sports, comfortable staterooms and many entertainment options. Even if it is relaxed and casual on board, festive attire is recommended two nights a week. On these evenings you can also dine at the buffet restaurant, to avoid the festive evenings.
