The final countdown for MSC Fantasia has officially started. Only 30 days to go to the christening ceremony of MSC Cruises's flagship in Naples on December 18th, 2008. The most beautiful ship in the world will be christened by Sophia Loren, the icon of Italian style in the world, who has already christened another five elegant MSC Cruises ships.
MSC Fantasia weighs 133.500 tonnes, is 333 metres long, 60 m high and 37,92 m wide, for a total area of 450.000 sq meters. It can cruise at a maximum speed of 23,3 knots, transporting 3.959 passengers in its 1637 cabins.
The 27.000 sq meters of the common areas which include:
MSC Aurea SPA of 1.615 sq meters will ensure total relaxation of body and mind.
And fun is also guaranteed onboard: L'Avanguardia theatre, with 1.650 seats, the casino, the disco, the virtual area with a Formula 1 simulator and a 4D cinema. There is also a children's playroom which is dedicated to the North Pole.
For the first time onboard; the MSC Yacht Club: 99 suites, between 23 and 53 sq meters, furnished as a luxurious yacht, a large lounge with a breathtaking view of the sea, a Conciergerie with Swarovski crystal stairs and other reserved spaces.
Personal butlers will provide the most exclusive services such as taking care of the luggage, booking excursions, room service, choice of cigars, liquors and champagne.
Elegance and class are the elements which distinguish all the new spaces on the flagship, which, as always, have been designed by the studio De Jorio Design International. The most important contemporary design tendencies dominate all the ship's environments and reveal the great attention given to detail, and the quality of the materials.
MSC Fantasia is also an entirely ecological ship with environmentally friendly paint, modern technology for the treatment of black and grey waters and a system of energy saving in cabins and common areas.
MSC Fantasia is the tenth unit of the MSC Cruises fleet. After the inaugural ceremony it will call at Genoa from where it will leave for its maiden voyage 9-day Mediterranean cruise, on 20 December, calling at Rhodes, Alexandria of Egypt, Messina and Naples.
