Ship Experience
A sixteen-year-old mid-size ship given a second life. The late-2025 Malta refit added MSC's Yacht Club suite enclave, a steakhouse and a sushi bar, so a ship that was plainly mainstream now carries the line's premium product too. No waterpark and three pools: this is an itinerary-led ship rather than a thrill-led one.
