The customary cruise ship MSC Virtuosa, will perform its 5nd coming to the port of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, this Friday, June 23. It is no longer necessary to remember that this giant of the seas remains the 3e largest European liner and owned by the company MSC Cruises. The approximately 5 passengers, mainly British, will be able to explore our beautiful destination which will be, for them, their second French stopover and last port of their itinerary with a view to disembarkation planned for the next day in Southampton.

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 including the prototype, the MSC WORLD EUROPE, commissioned in 2022.
