MSC Meraviglia

MSC Meraviglia is one of the World's leading cruise liners with something for everyone!

For families, MSC Meraviglia has loads to keep everyone entertained, from pools and waterslides to the games arcade, kids clubs and brilliant family-friendly entertainment!

For the adults, mini cruises on this ship can be PARTY CENTRAL! Think silent discos, over 20 bars, cocktails and dancing into the early hours. And if the next morning hits a little harder than expected, there’s always the spa to help you recover! 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴 𝗱𝗼? This ship is an absolute winner!

Food-wise, you’re covered with full-board dining, including breakfast and lunch at the buffet, followed by a delicious 3-course à la carte dinner in the evening and a midnight pizza buffet. Fancy something a little different? You can always upgrade to one of the speciality restaurants for an extra treat!

Life On Board

Start your day by visiting the buffet for breakfast before heading for a stroll on the deck or maybe hitting the gym. If the sun is shining, grab a lounger at the outdoor pool and enjoy the ship's entertainment whilst sipping on cocktails. If the weather's not so great, fear not, there's a huge indoor pool area where you can grab a lounger looking out to sea or chill in one of the many jacuzzi's.

Lunch is served all afternoon from the poolside pizza bar or the World buffet, and things pick up in the afternoon with happy hour on deck!

Head back to your cabin to freshen up and get your best outfit on for the night, which starts with a drink from the champagne bar before a sit down A La Carte dinner. The night is then yours to enjoy - hit the casino, dance away in a Silent Disco or catch a show! The opportunities are endless!
