Tuesday October 25, 2022 from 07:00 a.m. to 16:00 p.m.
Tomorrow, for his 3nd arrival and last scheduled arrival at the port of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, the liner MSC Preziosa, of the MSC Cruises company, will be moored at the Quai de France, from 07:00 a.m. to 16:00 p.m. with 3 passengers on board, most of them British and German.
Upon delivery, the flagship of the MSC Cruises company, the MSC Preziosa was not originally ordered by MSC, but by the Libyan company General National Maritime Transport Company based on plans for the MSC Fantasia series. The ship should have been named PHOENICIA. Due to unrest with Libya, the Saint-Nazaire shipyard decided to cancel the contract linking it with the GNMTC while the liner was already under construction. Eventually, MSC repurchased the vessel which was completed as MSC PREZIOSA. She was christened by Sophia Loren on March 23, 2013 and made her maiden cruise the following day. © APPM Association
