OM MSC Cruises
Vi har kaldt havet vores hjem i over 300 år. Det er et sted med forundring, opdagelse og glæde. Men det er også et sted, der har brug for beskyttelse. På et MSC-krydstogt skaber vores gæster ikke bare uforglemmelige minder, besøger utrolige destinationer og nyder den fineste gæstfrihed - de har også en chance for at gøre en forskel. Fra vores erfarne besætningsmedlemmer til vores ingeniører og skibsbyggere sikrer vi havets fremtid ved at tage positive skridt i dag.
OPDAG THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER
Når den perfekte ferie er planlagt, findes magien i det uplanlagte.
Alle krydstogter med MSC Cruises er omhyggeligt planlagt – men den virkelige magi ligger i det uventede. Det er overraskelserne, udsigterne du aldrig kunne forestille dig, og øjeblikkene der afslører noget nyt om dig selv, som bliver til dine bedste minder.
Ombord på MSC Cruises er alt ordnet for dig – og spændingen ligger i at opdage, hvad der venter næste gang.
For opdagelser handler ikke kun om nye steder – men om uforglemmelige øjeblikke undervejs.

Flåden
Vi ønsker, at du skal opdage verden i absolut stil, komfort og sikkerhed. Det er derfor, vi konstant udvider og forbedrer vores flåde, ikke kun for at give dig et større udvalg af destinationer, men også for at tilbyde dig en fantastisk state-of-art krydstogtoplevelse, uanset hvor du rejser hen.
Vi har en moderne flåde af skibe kombineret med en betydelig fremtidig global investeringsportefølje af nye skibe. De nuværende skibe på tværs af vores skibsklasser inkluderer:
MSC World Europa, det første MSC World Class-skib, introducerer en helt ny, banebrydende platform, der samler innovative teknologier og branchens første designfunktioner, herunder den unikke Y-form. MSC World Europa, der leveres i november 2022, er det første LNG-drevne skib i MSC Cruises' flåde og det mest miljømæssigt avancerede til dato. MSC World America bliver det andet skib i krydstogtrederiets innovative World Class, når det søsættes i april 2025 og tilbyder bæredygtige krydstogter i Caribien fra Miami med nye, fordybende og unikke oplevelser til søs.
MSC Virtuosa er et af de mest miljømæssigt avancerede skibe i vores flåde og blev leveret i februar 2021. Med en samlet gæstekapacitet på 6.334 passagerer er hun det største skib i MSC Cruises' globale flåde. Hendes søsterskib MSC Grandiosa (fra Meraviglia Plus-klassen) kom i drift i november 2019.
De mindre søsterskibe MSC Meraviglia og MSC Bellissima var de to første skibe i Meraviglia-klassen, som blev sat i drift i 2017 og 2019. I 2023 sluttede endnu et skib, MSC Euribia, drevet af LNG, sig til Meraviglia Plus Class-flåden.
MSC Seaside (2017) og MSC Seaview (2018) omskriver reglerne for design af krydstogtskibe og blander indendørs og udendørs områder for at forbinde gæsterne med havet som aldrig før. Med en gæstekapacitet på over 5000 passagerer tilføjer MSC Seaside og MSC Seaview et banebrydende element til MSC's flåde. Yderligere to større Seaside EVO-skibe, der repræsenterer en yderligere forbedring af prototypen, vil have en kapacitet på 5.632 gæster. Det første, MSC Seashore, blev leveret i 2021. Hendes søsterskib, MSC Seascape, kom til i december 2022.
De fire skibe i Fantasia-klassen - MSC Preziosa (2013), MSC Divina (2012), MSC Splendida (2009) og MSC Fantasia (2008) - er store og moderne skibe. MSC Preziosa og MSC Divina har plads til 4.345 gæster, mens MSC Splendida og MSC Fantasia har plads til 4.363 gæster.
Musica-klassens skibe MSC Magnifica (2010), MSC Poesia (2008), MSC Orchestra (2007) og MSC Musica (2006) har hver plads til omkring 3.000 gæster.
Flåden fuldendes af skibene i Lirica-klassen - MSC Sinfonia (2005), MSC Armonia (2004), MSC Opera (2004) og MSC Lirica (2003) - som hver har plads til omkring 2.000 gæster.

Bæredygtighed
Vi tegner en bæredygtig fremtid

Vi er også en betydelig investor i den næste generation af miljømæssige marineteknologier med det formål at støtte deres fremskyndede udvikling og tilgængelighed i hele branchen.
Vores engagement i bæredygtighed rækker ud over vores bestræbelser på at reducere vores miljøpåvirkning. Det afspejles også i den måde, vi støtter vores medarbejdere og dem, der vælger at rejse med os, samt hvordan vi interagerer med vores partnere og de samfund og steder, vi besøger.

Historien
Et århundredgammelt forhold til havet-
First record of the Aponte family’s involvement in maritime transport to and from Naples.
The Aponte family records date back to the 17th century and testify to its long and unbroken activity in an area with ancient seafaring traditions - the Sorrento Peninsula. The first mention of them is from 1675 and concerns the felucca Giovannina, which for many years plied the routes between Naples and Castellamare on the one hand, and Calabria and Sicily on the other to and from Naples. -
Gianluigi Aponte founds the MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company with the purchase of single ship. MSC has since grown to become a world leader in global container shipping operating over 1000 vessels.
MSC was founded by Gianluigi Aponte, a young Italian seaman and former bank teller who had the courage and foresight to purchase his first ship, Patricia, in 1970. He acquired an even bigger vessel in 1971, which he named after his wife, Rafaela, followed by the carrier, Ilse, in 1973. These three cargo ships represented the pioneering beginnings of MSC, which has since grown to become a world leader in global container shipping operating over 1000 vessels. -
MSC announces its entry into the cruise business, purchasing the iconic liner Monterey.
Following the purchase of the Monterey, MSC took over the Lauro cruise line structures in honour of Gianluigi Aponte’s mentor, the Italian shipping magnate Achille Lauro. When two more ships, Rhapsody and Melody, were added to the fleet, MSC Cruises was formally established as a subsidiary of the larger MSC Group. -
Start of a €5.5 billion investment programme to build the world’s most modern cruise fleet.
We boast one of the most modern and dynamic fleets in the world, thanks to a massive €5.5 billion investment programme started in 2003. In just over a decade, we built four beautiful ‘Lirica' class liners, followed by four majestic ‘Musica' class vessels and the four stunning flagships of the ‘Fantasia’ class. All of them feature MSC Cruises’ trademark blend of traditional elegance and innovative design.
-
MSC Cruises launched an ambitious €5.1 billion investment plan that comprises the order of up to seven new ships and the Renaissance Programme to enlarge four existing ships of the MSC Cruises fleet.
We launched a new €5bn investment plan to build four revolutionary new ships, plus options for three more, with STX France and Fincantieri. In addition, the Lirica class ships were enlarged and renewed by Fincantieri under the €200m ”Renaissance Programme”, which was completed by late 2015. These ships have now a GT of 65,000 tonnes and carry over 2,000 passengers.
-
This second phase investment plan is increased from €5.1 billion to €9 billion with the signing of a letter of intent to build a further four World class ships.
This second phase investment plan rose to €9 billion with the signing of a letter of intent to build a further four World class ships, each with next-generation LNG propulsion technology. Consequently, between 2017 and 2026 a total of up to 11 new, next-generation MSC Cruises ships will come into service. MSC Cruises is the first global cruise line brand to develop an investment plan of this length and magnitude, spanning an horizon of over ten years, from 2014 through 2026.
-
We consolidate our second fleet expansion plan with orders for two additional Seaside ships and a fifth Meraviglia vessel, bringing the total investment for the 2014-2026 period to €11.6 billion.
MSC Cruises consolidates its second fleet expansion plan with orders for two additional Seaside ships and a fifth Meraviglia vessel, bringing the total investment for the 2014-2026 period to €11.6 billion. Due to be delivered in 2021 and 2023, the two Seaside EVO ships will present an evolution of the successful Seaside platform and have a capacity of 5,646 guests. The fifth Meraviglia ship, which will be delivered in 2023, will have capacity for 6,334 guests. Like the World class ships, she will be equipped with a new generation of LNG-powered engines that will strongly reduce her environmental footprint.

Completion of MSC Virtuosa and MSC Seashore and strengthening our commitment to sustainability.
Despite the challenges of the Covid pandemic two new cruise ships joined our fleet in 2021 – MSC Virtuosa and MSC Seashore. We also advanced with our ambitions to grow our portfolio of cruise terminals, which allow us to anchor our presence in marquee homeports and offer the best service to guests while enabling us to foster a front-to-end integrated experience. In November, we opened the doors of the Nelson Mandela Cruise Terminal in Durban, South Africa. We also obtained final clearance to start building our exclusive cruise terminals in Barcelona and Miami as key embarkation ports in the western Mediterranean and the Caribbean. In 2021, we also took an important step forward on our journey to sustainability and reinforced our desire to be an industry leader in this field.

Delivery of MSC World Europa, the first LNG-powered ship of our fleet and introduced technologies to reduce our impact on the environment.
In 2022 we were delighted that we finally saw the restart of the entire fleet and progressively and safely ease Covid restrictions. We also continued to make significant progress along our sustainability journey. Over the year, we launched two new ships.
In October, we took delivery of the MSC World Europa, the first to be LNG-powered. It features a pilot solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and incorporates a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system – which reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90% by converting the gas into nitrogen and water – and shore-to-ship power connectivity, which allows MSC World Europa to minimise engine use at ports wherever the portside infrastructure is available. In November, we took delivery of the MSC Seascape. MSC Protectours, our dedicated excursions specifically designed to educate our guests and promote responsible tourism and responsible travel- become more widely available. -
We conducted the world's first ever net zero Greenhouse Gas emissions voyage, inaugurated our new terminal facilities in Durban (South Africa) and launched Explora I, the first of six ships from our new luxury brand Explora Journeys.
MSC Euribia, our second LNG ship, conducted the world’s first ever net zero Greenhouse Gas emissions voyage utilising Bio-LNG using mass-balance, the most cost-effective and environmentally efficient method of delivering the benefits of renewable LNG.
The first steel was cut for the second of our World Class ships, MSC World America. Sales opened for her itineraries, where she will homeport in our new state-of-the-art terminal at Port Miami, from 2025. A further two World Class ships were confirmed with shipbuilder Chantiers de l’Atlantique, with an option for a fifth.
MSC Meraviglia became MSC Cruises’ first ship to homeport in New York, conducting year-round sailings. This marked a third homeport in the USA, in addition to Miami and Port Canaveral. This was followed by sales opening at our fourth homeport of Galvaston, Texas.
MSC Cruises conducted an industry first, as two ships departed at the same time for separate 117 and 119-day world cruises - MSC Magnifica and MSC Poesia.
And in South Africa, we celebrated the inauguration of our new terminal facilities in Durban.
In the autumn, a new era for the Cruise Division of MSC Group began, with the launch of Explora I, the first of six ships from our new luxury brand, Explora Journeys, expanding the options for ocean travel to a new audience of luxury traveller.
