Complete Guide to MSC Musica Cruise Ship with prices, cabin and more

Launched in July 2006 - refurbished in 2019, MSC Musica was the first Musica class cruise ship launched by the MSC Cruises line. She was built by Aker Yards in France and carries 2,550 passengers (in double occupancy), 1,014 crew and is 92,409 tonnes.

She is owned by MSC Cruises and is sister to MSC Orchestra, MSC Magnifica and MSC Poesia. With the elegance and class of any fine lady, the MSC Musica will not disappoint. There is a spectacular waterfall in the foyer, which spans three decks. Right in front of this is a transparent piano, poised on a suspended, crystal floor.

The plush Teatro La Scala, seating over 1200 people, will enable you to settle in and enjoy a show. Kaito Sushi Bar is the ship's speciality Japanese restaurant. As with all of the cruise line's ships, you will find a self-service buffet on deck 13.

The MSC Musica cost USD 360 million to build, was christened by Sophia Loren and is registered in Panama.

All the power outlets (220v/110v) and USB ports are located on top of the desk - make sure you take a multi-plug if you have a lot of items to charge.
