MSC CRUISES COMPLETES THE FAMOUS FANTASIA CLASS.. AND WELCOMES MSC PREZIOSA

MSC Cruises continues to expand its fleet of state-of-the-art ships with the announcement
of a new vessel to be named MSC Preziosa. The new ship will become the fourth cruise ship in the
celebrated fantasia-class that includes MSC Fantasia, MSC Splendida and the eagerly awaited, MSC Divina.
She will operate cruises to the Mediterranean including Greek island cruises and takes on the mantle of
sister ship to MSC Divina, currently having her finishing touches applied in the STX ship yard in France.
MSC Divina will be christened in May 2012 prior to her inaugural season of Mediterranean cruises.

MSC Preziosa will boast 1,751 cabins, 26 lifts, and 18 decks, 14 of them for passengers. Guests
will be able to enjoy four main restaurants, two speciality restaurants, 21 bars, a casino, four
swimming pools, including an infinity pool, 12 whirlpools, a bowling alley, a sports area with
playing fields, a fitness centre, a children’s area and the superb MSC Aurea Spa.

Lovers of luxury cruises will be delighted to learn that MSC Preziosa will continue to feature
the MSC Yacht Club where passengers staying in the 69 exclusive MSC Yacht Club suites will be
able to take advantage of the private bar, solarium, hydro-massage pools, and the spectacular
glass-walled observation lounge with amazing ocean views. A butler service will offer assistance
at check-in, transport luggage, unpack, serve traditional English afternoon tea as well as arranging
cigars and beverages, booking tables at restaurants, treatments in the MSC Aurea Spa, ad hoc excursions
and even arrange private parties.

“The new ship represents an investment of 550 million euros and will be delivered at the end of March 2013.
Negotiations with STX France have lasted over nine months; a significant but understandable period of time
considering the importance of the investment and the unexpected nature of the takeover,” said Mr Pierfrancesco
Vago, CEO MSC Cruises.
