MSC Renaissance Programme

MSC Cruises Renaissance Programme


MSC Cruises are investing 200 million Euros to update the Lirica class ships in the fleet. This is a 2 year project and will see the MSC Lirica, MSC Sinfonia, MSC Opera and MSC Armonia made bigger and better than before!

The first ship to undergo the programme is the MSC Armonia which is currently in dry dock at the Fincantieri ship yard in Palermo, Sicily, until the middle on November.

The ship will be 'stretched' by adding a 24 metre section in the middle of ship, creating more balcony cabins and other extra public areas.

So what's new on the MSC Armonia......

• 94 balcony cabins will be added.

Restaurants

•  La Pergola - This will have exclusive service, 3 times a day, for balcony and Aurea experience customers. The restaurant will have panoramic views and offers a variety of cuisines from around the world. The restaurant will also be open for an international breakfast and bistro menu at lunch time with an upscale dinner option in the evening.

• Marco Polo - Open for breakfast and lunch this restaurant offers a relaxing setting.

• La Brasserie and Lido Buffet - This buffet option will be open for 20 hours a day and will offer hot and cold options for breakfast, burgers and handmade pizza and pasta for lunch and a range of casual options for dinner in the evening.

Bars

• Bar Del Duomo - Serving wine and aperitifs, also bar bites and snacks

• Red Bar - Alchemist and Martini experience - Serving Martinis and Cocktails with creative techniques and recipes.

• The White Lion - English pub featuring a selection of traditional 'pub grub' which is complimentary.

• The Coffee Bar - Hot and frozen coffees with sweet treats throughout the day.

• The Gelataria - Serving traditional Italian ice creams.

• The Vitamin bar - Serving fresh fruit smoothies made to order.

Kids features

• Outdoor Spray Park - Featuring musical fountains and slides plus interactive water jets. The kids will love this addition I'm sure!

• Baby Club - This is brand new for MSC, now catering for this little ones under the age of 3 in a dedicated area on board. They have partnered up with the brand 'Chicco' to create this new area.

•  Kids and Teen areas - A new youth centre will house the different clubs for the kids and teens on board.

I have to say, I am very impressed with the new additions and I think these will be a huge hit for MSC and a great pull for regular and new customers alike.
