In keeping with the MSC Cruises fleet, MSC Orchestra is a thoroughly modern cruise ship. Launched on 14 May 2007 in Civitavecchia MSC Orchestra is a 'Musica'class cruise ship offering wonderful facilities and cutting edge design. On board MSC Orchestra you’ll discover airy open spaces and first rate entertainment.

During the winter of 2009/10 you’ll find MSC Orchestra cruising in South American waters before she heads back to Europe to spend the Summer of 2010 cruising around the magnificent Baltic Capitals and the stunning Norwegian Fjords. In the Autumn of 2010 MSC Orchestra returns to the Mediterranean where she cruises to Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar.

Like all MSC Cruises, a cruise aboard MSC Orchestra revolves around you and, given the facilities on offer, can be pretty much what you want it to be. If relaxation and a quiet life are your cruise goals then you’ll have no trouble achieving them! Alternatively if you want to stay in shape or get fit then feel free to hit the jogging track, the Sports Centre and the Body and Mind Spa. For those who prefer a more leisurely approach to fitness may find a Turkish bath, sauna or a programme of massage will help take the effort out of feeling good – and few things in life compare to the simple pleasure of watching the world literally pass by from the jacuzzi!

Of course sea air and activity always work up an appetite and fortunately MSC Orchestra is well equipped to take you on a culinary adventure. For something a little special why not try the Shanghai Chinese restaurant or the Four Seasons for an a la carte experience? Elsewhere you’ll find that every meal in the L’Ibiscus and Villa Borghese restaurants are occasions in themselves. For snacks - and the best pizza outside Naples - try La Piazzetta!

When you’re out and about you’ll find the décor aboard MSC Orchestra is simply thrilling. Drink in the ambience in the leopard-style Savannah Bar, try your luck at the Palm Beach Casino or catch a spectacular show at the Covent Garden Theatre. You can sample fine wine in La Cantinella, enjoy a fine cigar in La Cubana, visit the art gallery or dance until dawn in the disco.

Naturally, as an Italian family company, we not only welcome children, we make sure we make a fuss of them too! Kids have their own outdoor pool and games area as well as the Jungle Adventure playroom. Best of all, our dedicated team make sure the kids always have something fun to do, which means you have fun too – why not bring them along for a great family holiday?
