Mediterranean and Europe
The ship that launched a new experience
MSC Fantasia launched an entirely new vision - the cruise ship as ecological floating city along Mediterranean lines.
At its heart you’ll find a real stone piazza complete with espresso bar serving freshly-baked pastries and authentic gelati - the perfect place to savour a sweet pause from bargain hunting in the chic boutiques and duty-free centre nearby.
Designer-themed lounge bars with stunning creative lines bring a metropolitan vibe, gourmet specialities and varied entertainment, including a piano bar, jazz bar and Sports Bar with videogames and live event screenings.
Then there’s the opulent Monte Carlo Casino, panoramic Liquid Disco and futuristic Broadway-scale theatre, offering an array of world-class performances.
The restaurants offer a capital dining experience, from the grand Il Cerchio d’Oro to the intimate Red Velvet with real Murano glass chandeliers and the exuberant El Sombrero’s tongue-tingling Tex-Mex and cocktails.
Sports facilities abound, from tennis, basketball, mini-golf, a jogging track and gym to the Aqua Park Pool Complex, a thrilling Formula 1 simulator and 4D Cinema.
And like every great city, MSC Fantasia offers worlds within worlds, with restorative refuges in the adults-only Top 18 sun deck and exotic MSC Aurea Spa, plus fantastic facilities and clubs for kids and teens.
The ultimate in luxury is the exclusive MSC Yacht Club, a unique ship-within-a-ship boasting its own Concierge Reception, 24-hour butler service, private Lounge and pool deck.
But it doesn't end there. There’s always more to discover in a cruise on the unforgettably stylish floating city that is MSC Fantasia.

Remember when making purchases, all cruise ships use a cashless system whilst on board, on check in at port you will receive your own individual identity card which will also double as your room key and payment card. At the end of your cruise you can settle your bill at reception with cash or credit card.
Gratuities or tipping can be paid at booking or at disembarkation , the cost per day depends on the cruise company, your sales agent will be happy to advise you when booking.
