The MSC Lirica Class was the third ship to undergo the MSC Renaissance Programme revitalisation, which added new shops, bigger cabins, a spray park and better kids' areas. With new levels of comfort and entertainment, the ship is perfect for couples and families keen to set sail.

She boasts outstanding restaurants sure to thrill with a mix of gastronomic delights from international specialities to comforting traditional Mediterranean fare. The decor is sumptuous with dark woods, marble and rich trimmings and fabrics which elegantly shows off the grand sweeping spaces.

This gorgeous cruise ship will keep you entertained day and night, but if it's peace and quiet you want, you'll find plenty of that in the spacious deck areas, perfect for relaxing with a book. MSC Opera serenely transports her passengers on South Africa, Mediterranean and Baltic & fjord cruises.
