MSC Meraviglia from MSC Cruises : Everything you need to know

The MSC Meraviglia - Italian for "miracle" - is the first ship of the Meraviglia class and entered service in June 2017. The MSC Cruises ship has shore power and 33,000 sqm of space for public areas and also offers a number of technological innovations, such as near field communication (NFC) technology. This allows you to pay on board, open your stateroom or locate your children via your boarding pass, smartwatch, wristband or smartphone. A special highlight of the MSC Meraviglia is the covered indoor promenade with the largest LED sky at sea, which offers you dreamlike animations. Along this 96-metre-long promenade you will find boutiques, restaurants as well as quiet places that are great for dining or relaxing. In the evening, the square finally turns into the centre of the action with music, events and entertainment offers. Family cruises with the MSC Meraviglia are particularly popular.
