MSC Cruises and its Chinese
partner CAISSA Touristic Group
have announced the details of
the on-board offering which will
feature on MSC Lirica when she
is deployed year-round from
Shanghai from May next year.
While maintaining its distinctive
European flavour, Lirica will
have a high density of Mandarin
speaking crew, dining concepts
from Chinese celebrity chef
Jeremy Leung and a 20-hour-aday
entertainment program.
MSC ceo Gianni Onorato said
Lirica would be customised by
drawing on the “unrivalled local
knowledge of our partner,” with
features including five distinct
kids clubs, an open-air waterpark,
three nightly theatre sittings and
a range of themed evenings.
