Boat features
Derived from MSC Meraviglia, this series of liners was ordered by MSC from the Saint-Nazaire shipyard. These ships have the particularity of being hybrid, able to run on LNG. these were the largest liners built for the Italian-Swiss company before the delivery of the World class, the prototype of which was the MSC World Europe which was commissioned in 2022. A third ship of the Meraviglia Plus class, the MSC Euribia followed in 2023. The MSC Virtuosa was delivered on February 1, 2021 to its owner, leaving the Saint-Nazaire quay where it was awaiting the resumption of cruises after the COVID-19 crisis. © Association Paquebots & Marine Marchande
