About MSC Opera

The MSC Opera, a Lirica-class vessel, entered service in 2004 and underwent a major renaissance program in the summer of 2015. At 274.9 meters in length, it can accommodate 2150 passengers (with double occupancy). The public areas are colorful and tastefully decorated. The cabins are more classic with colorful accents. Since the last modernization, the ship has 197 new staterooms, additional spacious public areas and new, flexible restaurant offerings. The ship was also equipped with a modern water park and new children's areas.

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.
