MSC Magnifica

MSC Magnifica

Masterfully combining the relaxed refinement of the Musica Class with the variety and opulence of our Fantasia Class flagships, MSC Magnifica brings cruise travellers the best of both worlds.

Marrying traditional craftsmanship with ground-breaking design, the superb venues on this ship spoil you for choice, including 5 gourmet restaurants serving food from around the world and 12 designer-themed bars. Kids and teens love their own themed venues and special clubs that help break the ice with new friends.

The ship’s award-winning MSC Aurea Spa brings you traditional Balinese massages and ultramodern beauty treatments: a sauna, Turkish bath, fitness centre, thalassotherapy room and relaxation area.

The leisure facilities are no less impressive, with a lush open-airpool complex, 4 whirlpools, a solarium and a skylit indoor pool with Magrodome retractable roof, so you can enjoy perfect bathing whatever the weather. Then there’s tennis, minigolf, bowling, billiards, a high-tech gym and dedicated jogging track.

With this variety, you can be sure to live every moment to the full. The entertainment continues into the evening, with a spectacular casino, panoramic discotheque, 4D cinema, Internet café, cigar lounge, plush 1,200 seat theatre and live entertainment in the bar lounges. For a quieter evening, step out onto the deck for a romantic drink under the stars, and watch the waves go by. In every way, MSC Magnifica lives up to her name – she offers a cruise that’s memorably magnificent.

Ship Reviews

I always read negative comments. And yes those are peoples experiences, but not mine. It was my second time sailing with MSC. I previously sailed on the flagship (in the time of writing this) the World Europa. And later the Odyssey of the Seas of RCI. So I know what I can expect from a cruise. The Magnifica is a nice ship. Not the biggest but also not small. A easy to figure out lay-out. Nice pools. Nice bars (lots of them). Very friendly staff. The decor is (of cours) from more then 10 years ago, but that is okay! Buffet on pictures looked outdated, but in reality is suites it well. We experienced both MDR restaurants. And both nice decor and staff. Food is okay. Kinda like all regular cruise lines. Sometimes cold. There was just one thing I didn't finish because it was cold on the inside, but most things were just fine! The drinks were great! We had the easy package because we were just 4 days onboard. And we didn't miss anything because of it. You just tell what you want, and don't mention a brand name. Sometimes if you get a 'rum and coke' it is served with Bacardi. And sometimes with off-brand rum. And I don't mind. As long as I don't have to pay more haha. In general a great ship! We embarked in Valencia. And disembarked in Civitavecchia.

Our first time on the MSC Magnífica was an exceptional experience that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we boarded, we were impressed by the warm, familiar atmosphere created by the staff. Everyone was genuinely attentive, and it was especially nice to see officers involved and friendly, making the entire cruise vibe feel inviting and contagious. Our dining experience was a highlight, thanks to our wonderful table waiter, Mr. Darma, who made each meal feel special. His attention to detail and genuine warmth truly elevated our time onboard. Another standout was our cabin steward, Cheryl Siga, who kept our room spotless and went above and beyond to anticipate our needs. Her dedication and availability were impressive! While the food and cocktails in the buffet and bars were average, the designated complimentary restaurant offered better fare and a solid wine selection. At the Tiger bar, we were lucky to be served by the delightful KETUT, whose energy and joy added so much to our experience each day. The entertainment team also deserves praise they brought an enthusiasm that added so much fun and excitement to our days. If there’s one area for improvement, it would be the comfort of the beds and pillows. Overall, the MSC Magnífica’s exceptional service, friendly staff, and lively atmosphere made this a cruise to remember. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience! Food was best I have had on a ship. We have to eat gluten free b/c of Celiac disease. The staff took excellent care of us. Never got sick once. The ship was clean, rooms were clean, staff was excellent (with one exception) and destinations were nice. 4 stars because they wouldn't let us change our cruise despite a hurricane that made it rainy everywhere we went, but that may be the same any cruise line you take maybe. I tried to buy the internet package but it wouldn't work. When I went to the info services desk the manager there was antagonistic and belittling (but there are bad eggs in every bunch). Overall I would definitely recommend MSC because there are always imperfections wherever you go. I have to say the dining experience was as close to perfect as you can get though. Well done MSC, we felt very welcome
