| MSC’s new marvel

MSC Cruises has announced
that the name of its newest ship
will be MSC Meraviglia, with
executive chairman Pierfrancesco
Vago revealing the details at the
steel cutting ceremony for the
vessel in Saint-Nazaire.
Meraviglia, which translates as
‘Marvel’ will be “the biggest and
most innovative cruise ship ever
built by a global European-based
cruise line,” he said.
It’s the first of MSC’s Vista
generation of megaships, with
4,500 lower berths.
“We chose a name that
denotes the sense of awe and
wonderment felt when you
experience the ship’s stunning
features,” he said, with Meraviglia
due for delivery in May 2017.
