MSC Magnifica, a Musica class ship, made her debut in 2010 and guests have been enjoying what she has to offer ever since. If you’re looking to take an enchanting vacation in the Mediterranean while immersing yourself in European culture, MSC Magnifica is an excellent choice. You can enjoy the Mediterranean both on and off the ship when you depart from a variety of ports, including Genoa, Venice, Barcelona, or Bari. Explore Northern Europe departing from Kiel or Copenhagen. The ship is decked out from bow to stern with elegance and class. Book your cruise now to take advantage of all this impressive ship has to offer.

While aboard MSC Magnifica, you’ll have so many dining options, you’ll find yourself making some tough decisions about where to eat! There are 2 main dining halls, the Sahara buffet restaurant and several specialty restaurants where you’ll find a variety of delectable choices. The main dining halls, L’Edera and Quattro Venti are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the evening, you’ll enjoy a variety of Mediterranean and Italian dishes accompanied by excellent choices in wine. For a small additional charge, you can choose from the specialty restaurants on board. Stop by Topazio Bar for a steaming hot cup of coffee or enjoy Chinese food at sea at Shanghai Restaurant.

Your sea days aboard MSC Magnifica will be full of entertaining choices for you to choose from. MSC packs the day full of organized events or classes that you can take part in at no additional cost. You can take dance lessons, learn a new language or get in touch with your spiritual side through yoga. If you would like a more relaxing experience, spend your day lounging by the pool, enjoying live music in one of the many bars and lounges onboard, or simply taking in the boundless sea views from your balcony stateroom or the top deck.  During the night, you’ll find dancing and live music in many of the bars and lounges, you can attend a show in the beautiful theater, or you can try your luck at the casino where you can play Poker, Black Jack, or Roulette.
