MSC Opera is an elegant ship offering every conceivable comfort, with roomy areas where you can gather with friends and family in classy surroundings.

Art Deco influences resonate throughout MSC Opera – reflected in geometric shapes and delicate colours.  Subtle elegance shows through the gleaming marble flooring, and vast windows facing straight onto the sea.  The ambience is understated and very relaxing.

The 856 cabins, many with private balconies, are large, airy and spacious.

In 2008, MSC Opera sails on 8 day cruises in the Mediterranean, to unusual locations like Ancona, Heraklion, Athens, Corfu and Kotor. Then on 30 November, she makes a 19 day ocean voyage to Brazil, while calling at Spain, Casablanca, Fortaleza, Salvador and Rio de Janeiro.

Springtime comes and MSC Opera continues to sail on 9 day cruises in beautiful South America. She also offers mini cruises in South America. On 21 April, she makes a wonderful ocean voyage from Brazil back to Dover, England - a fantastic opportunity you don't want to miss!

Then off to a very different climate in summer 2009, where she alternates between visits to glacier-covered Nordic countries (Denmark, Norway and Germany), exploring glacier fjords along the rugged coastline; and folklore-rich Sweden, Finland and Russia.  Sail on our special Butterfly combo – MSC Opera back to back cruises – and explore North Europe in its entirety.

Finally, don't miss the 10 day 1st Sept voyage from Dover, England to Venice, Italy. She will call at Lisbon, Malaga, Tunis and Croatia. A great choice for an autumn holiday.
