The MSC Lirica is the most recent of four MSC Lirica Class cruise ships boasting an elegant interior, non-stop entertainment and stunning ocean views through the floor-to-ceiling lounge windows.

Built in 2003 and renovated in 2015, the ship features an exciting spray park, a variety of shops to explore and dedicated areas for children and teens delivered with the help of big name partners such as LEGO® Chicco and Namco®.

There’s plenty to do on board with adventure golf, a generous pool area, a gym, disco and even a casino if you feel like having a flutter. Teens will appreciate their own space at the Young Teens club and games arcade, while younger children can join in the Mini Club (under 3s) and Junior Club activities.

Enjoy a drink before the show at one of the Lirica’s many bars and lounges, which vary in style from half a lager at the traditional English Lord Nelson pub to glitzy refreshments at the swanky Beverley Hills Bar. Indulge in your favourite tipple before immersing yourself in the ship’s breathtaking programme of evening entertainment on offer at the Broadway Theatre for six nights of the week.

For those in need of pamper time, the Aurea spa offers the ultimate relaxation experience with sumptuous treatments designed to restore and revitalise, while the hairdresser and exclusive solarium provide further opportunities for winding down in style.

The Lirica offers a range of superb dining options which include the ship’s main dining rooms, La Bussola and L'lippocampo, together with the self-service buffet restaurant Le Bistrot, burger bar La Pergola, Kaito sushi bar, and the exquisite oriental fusion restaurant Jia Yao. Each venue offers a different experience and an extraordinary range of sumptuous cuisines to delight the senses.

For the perfect night’s sleep, the Lirica boasts spacious cabins with the choice of a balcony, giving you a jaw-dropping panoramic view during your voyage.

Ask about a range of fare options which include ‘Bella’, ‘Fantastica, and ‘Aurea’ privileges.  These give you a variety of benefits to enhance your voyage, including SuperFamily and prestigious cabins, 24-hour room service, priority dining slots, extra recreational and educational activities for the children, or an enhanced boarding experience with a relaxing spa package and welcome cocktails.
