MSC Cruises has partnered with Cirque du Soleil to offer a unique onboard entertainment experience.
Back in 2013 Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman of MSC Cruises, had the vision to take the entertainment offered on board to the next level. Since MSC Cruises always seeks to work with innovative, world-class leaders, it was only natural to approach Cirque du Soleil. 

Each of the two shows feature a different concept, ambiance, storyline, costumes and make-up and will be performed twice a night for six nights.
With sound at its heart, SONOR takes guests on an auditory adventure with dancers, acrobats and characters, all moving to the rhythm. It conjures a world of unique sensations, astonishing sounds, bold music and immersive projections and culminates in a grand finale for the senses.

VIAGGIO is the story of a passionate and eccentric artist who hears the call of his Faceless Muse. Mysterious and seductive, she beckons him into the vivid world of his unbridled imagination to complete his masterpiece. With each stroke of his paintbrush, the painter reveals the details of his grandiose tableau. Electrifying colours fill the space with intriguing motifs and rich textures. Majestic acts transform the theatre into a living canvas. Before our very eyes, a masterpiece comes to life.

In addition, before the show, guests can enjoy a unique cocktail including a specially designed signature cocktail and tempting treats, or an exclusive dinner experience designed to complement each pre-show entertainment.
