OVERVIEW
Cruise in very much European environment with Mediterranean
Shipping Cruises (MSC). This comparatively young cruise company has
established itself as an average-priced, traditional-style cruise
provider for both North American public (Caribbean cruises) and
European crowd (mostly Mediterranean destinations). The MSC cruise
ships can be divided into two categories according to their age:
recently built ships (Armonia, Lirica, Musica,
Opera, Sinfonia) and older ones (Melody, Rhapsody). The older ships
have been refurbished, but
still keep the classic feel from inside out.
RECOMMENDATIONS
MSC Cruises are recommended mostly for
middle-age
families with kids on short-time cruises; for
older
people on longer cruises.
