THE MASTERS OF THE SEA. AT YOUR SERVICE

At MSC, we have a grand history of sailing having explored the seas for over 300 years. As the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest shipping company with almost 450 vessels, you can feel assured that this mastery of the sea is evident in ever ything we do. Our expertise, passion and professionalism can be relied upon to provide a host of truly enriching experiences for all our guests. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud to take you to the most beautiful places on Ear th and share these magical moments with you.

THE MEDITERRANEAN WAY OF LIFE

At MSC Cruises, Mediterranean values run deep in our veins and shape everything we do. A world of warmth and hospitality, comfort and style. A world rooted in timeless values, like family and friendship, exploration and discover y, and a passion for good food. This is our way of life. The Mediterranean way of life.

LIFE SHOULD BE MEASURED IN MOMENTS , NOT MINUTES

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the minutes, hours or days of a holiday that you remember. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the moments. The chance to spend time with the ones you care about. To reconnect. To forget the rest of the world. And to remember the things that really matter.

WELCOME ON BOARD Dear Traveller... welcome on board! It was back in 1675 when the Aponte family established its seafaring traditions. Since then, our experience has grown and so has our fleet. Today, we are proud to run the largest privately owned cruise company in the world. Our ships now sail far beyond the Mediterranean, but we have continued to take its spirit with us. When someone steps on-board an MSC cruise, they know that they are welcome. They are not merely our passengers, they are our guests, free to do as much or as little as they please. Authenticity is important to us, so our crew and staff will always be honest and genuine. Their personalities and intuitions are encouraged. Because the personal touch always means more than following stringent rulebooks. And of course, good food is at the very heart of our culture. Insisting on the freshest ingredients means our chefs can uphold the traditions of the finest Mediterranean cuisine. Above all, we want our travellers to enjoy every aspect of their time on-board. To feel relaxed and comfortable. To experience the moments that make life special. And to savour each and every one of them. Because we believe that life should be measured in moments. Not minutes.
