MSC Lirica Ship Features

Now, this can't be classified as a mega-cruise ship, rather mid-sized, a beauty favored by families, couples, and individual travelers for its classic elegance blended with modern-day conveniences:

  • Grand Lounges with Ocean View: Lounge in large public areas with the sea views and chic European décor, such as the main grand foyer and panoramic lounges.
  • Culinary Experiences: Sample the Asian specialties of Jia Yao, international cuisine at La Bussola Restaurant, and Kaito Sushi Bar for excellent traditional sushi. The casual fare from the deck stands or a scoop at the Gelateria Italiana are also worth trying.
  • Relaxation Areas and Pools: Sit down at the sun decks enjoying the hot tubs, or the two sizable salt pools. Kids can splash around terrified-free in their own children's pool with water features.
  • Lirica Spa & Fitness Center: The fitness center is well-equipped, overlooking the ocean, where you can indulge in a great workout, or treat yourself to rejuvenating treatments within the MSC Aurea Spa.
  • Live Entertainment & Themed Parties: With the sunset comes an atmosphere of live entertainers from the MSC Lirica's artists' awesome acts, with nighttime shows and lively, themed parties.
  • Bars & Nightlife: Think of chic spots serving wines, spirits, and cocktails with ambiences that are rather unique, such as the lounges of Blue Riband and L'Etoile.
  • Boutique Shopping and Promenade Deck: Shop, walk beside the water, or just sprinkle some time and sip in the scenery on the promenade deck with fresh air in your lungs.
