Liquor and cigar enthusiasts can enjoy a special moment in the Cigar Room where they can enjoy a cigar while learning the art of its production.
Particular attention will be paid to the art of hospitality with lessons on table manners thatprovide instructions on how to serve food and drink, set the table, create centrepieces and place cards, as well as how to decorate cakes and dishes.
The program also includes fun competitions and games pertaining to culinary themes: quizzes on drink names, international dishes and ingredients alternate with more creative ways to test the skills of aspiring cooks.
A grand celebration will take place every evening with a variety of delicious menus to choose from served by the onboard restaurants which include light and vegetarian dishes, desserts sweetened with fructose for diabetics and kosher specialties upon request.
There is nothing left to do but step aboard MSC Poesia, MSC Lirica and MSC Armonia and revel in the pleasures of a cruise you can truly taste.
