MSC SINFONIA FACTS
|
Description
The MSC Sinfonia marries comfort and style in a single vessel. The concept of the ship’s design was borne out of the sophistication of Europe’s best symphonies. Once you get onboard, you’ll be welcomed by elegant interiors and world class service. The most popular cruises aboard this ship are to the Mediterranean and South African destinations. One of the highlights of the ship is its Virtual Gold Simulator. A mistral class cruise ship, this is marketed for adult clients, and has no amenities for very small children.
Destinations
All MSC cruise vessels travel to North America, South America, South Africa, the Mediterranean, the Transatlantic, and the Northern European region all throughout the year. MSC Sinfonia cruises include trips to the Mediterranean every summer and winter.
