| MSC Next-Gen begins

THE future is approaching for
MSC Cruises on two fronts, with
bookings opening today for MSC
Club members on its upcoming
4,500-pax vessel MSC Meraviglia.
The vessel is under construction
at the STX France shipyard and
will be delivered in May 2017,
launching operations first on the
Western Mediterranean.
Non-members will be able to
make bookings from 05 Jul.
MEANWHILE, the first steel has
been cut on the first ship in MSC’s
second next-generation fleet
renewal – MSC Seaside – being
built at the Fincantieri shipyard.
The European line has four ships
in total on order by 2022, with
Seaside due for delivery late 2017.
