MSC Fantasia

About MSC Fantasia

The first in an exceptional class of cruise ships, MSC Fantasia is everything a modern cruise ship should be – but with a little extra Italian style added for good measure! She offers her passengers extraordinary levels of comfort, entertainment and safety whilst employing cutting-edge technology to safeguard the environment.

Keynote features include the MSC Aurea Spa, 5 restaurants (one of which is exclusive to MSC Yacht Club passengers), 4 swimming pools, 12 hydro-massage pools, coffee bars, shops, a children’s area, a Formula 1 simulator and an interactive 4D cinema.

The MSC Aurea Spa features a thermal cave with treatments to enhance both beauty and health: therapeutic mud packs, perfumed vapours, aesthetic massages and much, much more.

MSC Fantasia has an exclusive VIP area: the MSC Yacht Club with 71 spacious suites, a bar, solarium, 2 hydro-massage pools, a swimming pool, an exclusive a la carte French restaurant and observation lounge with bar, Concierge and a forward Observation Lounge where huge glass windows enable guests to make the most of the amazing views.

A butler service will operate throughout the VIP area: offering assistance at check-in, overseeing the transport of luggage, unpacking and serving traditional English high tea. In addition the butler will arrange for cigars and wine, liquors and champagne and pre-book tables at the restaurants, spa treatments in the Aurea Spa, ad hoc excursions as chosen by the guest and even arrange a private party in cabins.

For the very first time on board a cruise ship guests will walk on a Swarovski crystal floor. A transparent ceiling also permits the guests to experience all the magic of sailing as they gaze at the starlit skies.

The MSC Fantasia is the first Fantasia-class ship in the MSC Cruises fleet, offering its guests an outstanding level of comfort with a touch of Italian flair. She boasts an exceptional range of amenities and a sensational entertainment programme, to satisfy both the young and the young at heart.

The Fantasia is true to its name in every respect – transporting you to a fantasy world where every whim is catered for. From the moment you step onto the shining Swarovski crystal floor and walk beneath a glittering starry sky visible through the transparent ceiling, you’ll know that an unforgettable experience awaits.

There’s plenty to fill your day with fun-filled activities including the Aqua Park Pool Complex, modern gym, jogging track, mini golf, basketball and tennis courts; while the 4D cinema and Formula 1 simulator offer guests thrills and spills. The entertainment doesn’t stop there: the Fantasia’s piano, jazz and sports bars host live event screenings and video games, delivering non-stop fun around the clock.

Younger children (3-12) will love the free kids’ clubs and programme of activities to keep them entertained all day long. There’s also a dedicated kids’ pool with an Arctic theme and play area for the little ones. Teens (13-17) will enjoy their own dedicated hang-out spaces with arcade style games, tournaments, sports, live music, discos and dance classes to keep them occupied – plus, the outdoor water slide running between two of the decks offers teens yet more adrenaline-filled fun throughout the day.

Shopaholics will love the Fantasia’s duty-free shops and chic outlets, open all day until late at night with a range of luxury goods and gifts on offer. Everything from traditional duty-free goods through to custom jewellery can be purchased with big tax savings to be made. Take a break from retail therapy at the stone piazza where you can enjoy the perfect espresso paired with a freshly-baked pastry or authentic gelato – perfect for a little time out between boutiques.

For those looking to relax during their cruise, the MSC Aurea Spa provides guests with a haven of tranquillity. Unwind and pamper yourself, with a range of luxurious health and beauty treatments to rejuvenate body and mind.

Dining on board is always in style, and with Fantasia’s five tempting restaurants, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

For something different, try El Sombrero Tex Mex, the ship’s Mexican speciality restaurant with show gallery kitchen, or retreat to L'Etoile, an exclusive French restaurant for MSC Yacht Club passengers.
