MSC Italian With ships whose names evoke melodious images (MSC Musica, MSC Lirica, MSC Opera, MSC Rhapsody, MSC Melody, MSC Sinfonia, MSC Armonia and MSC Orchestra) it’s not surprising that music plays a big part in the MSC Cruises experience.

Onboard every MSC Cruises’ ship, guests will find live music around every corner. Performers in the lounges and on the pool deck fill the air with musical stylings, from popular dance music and hits of the ‘50s and ‘60s to classical guitar and jazz renditions. Plus, the ship’s theaters feature an international lineup of entertainers presenting different musical experiences each evening and the discos are the ideal place to dance the night away to the latest pulsating beats.
