MSC Lirica was an important cruise ship for MSC. As our first completely new build she helped set the tone that helped us on the way to becoming arguably the world’s most modern cruise line. And, thanks to the meticulous care that we lavish on all our cruise ships, MSC Lirica looks as immaculate today as she did ‘way back’ in 2003!

MSC Lirica is a cruise ship for those who remain unmoved by glitzy interiors and the ‘biggest and brashest is best’ school of cruise ship design. Instead she excels in delivering a quality cruise for those looking for comfort and hospitality of the highest order. Expect a friendly, casual atmosphere and a cruise ship that looks and feels like a proper cruise ship complete with rich wood, brass, marble and the restrained use of restful colours.

Up on deck you’ll find plenty of space to do just as you please. If traditional cruising games are your thing, how about a game of shuffleboard? Or, if you can’t wait for your next port to play a round of golf, how about putting around the mini golf course? There again, if you can’t put that novel down, then find a sun lounger and settle down for a good read – you can punctuate the chapters with a cold drink, crisply delivered by an attentive steward. 

If you take your relaxation seriously the Lirica Health Centre has some seriously relaxing treatments on offer. Spend a little time here and you’ll soon leave the stresses and strains of everyday life in your wake. Other ‘low impact’ routes to relaxation can be found in the Beverley Hills bar and the Lord Nelson pub, where a most convivial evening is guaranteed.

In Summer 2013 MSC Lirica will be cruising the Mediterranean from the historic port of Genoa. She will call at Civitavecchia (for tours to Rome), Salerno in lovely Campania before reaching Athens in Greece, the cosmopolitan city of Istanbul and exotic Black Sea

MSC Lirica offers extraordinary comfort in an elegant setting. If you are looking for a casual easy-going ambience framed by traditional, luxurious decor MSC Lirica is the cruise liner for you! MSC's superb Mediterranean cuisine will put you right at ease and our modern array of amenities will ensure your every wish is catered for!
