DOVER, 5 APRIL 2008 - Elegant, stylish and state-of-the-art technology: these are but some of the outstanding ways to describe an exceptional, new ship - MSC Poesia.
MSC Poesia will be christened in Dover on 5 April 2008 and will be the ninth of the MSC Cruises fleet.
Her vital statistics are: 89,600 tonnes, 294 metres long, 50 metres high and 32 metres wide.A total of 1,275 cabins of which 80% of which will be ocean-view accommodations and 65% of the total number of staterooms will have balconies. There will be 16 decks, of which 13 will be accessible to the public. She will have a maximum cruising speed of 23 knots. There will be 22,000 square metres of public space, seven themed areas, two pools and four hot tubs, plus the MSC Aurea Spa,which will cover 1,500 square metres.
Imaginative and refined, the Italian design is the common thread that unites MSC Poesia to the other two sister ships. Sophisticated colour schemes and attention to detail and service will ensure that guests enjoy a truly special cruise on board MSC Poesia, which, as with all of the company's ships, benefits from the latest technology. This enables the entire MSC Cruises fleet to operate worldwide, safeguarding the environment with fewer carbon dioxide emissions and strict waste management.
MSC Cruises has received international recognition for its environmental protection efforts.
Foyer
On board MSC Poesia, there will be a festive feeling thanks to the bright lights and colours of the central foyer with its spectacular waterfall and three bridges. Guests can enjoy piano music while seated on transparent flooring over a large and luminous expanse of water.
The Pigalle Lounge
The secondary lounge will be named after the famous Parisian quarter. Similar to the Shaker Lounge aboard MSC Orchestra, it will have an even larger glass window. This will increase the natural light while offering a spectacular and romantic view of the sea.
In the land of great taste
There will be 4 restaurants: Le Fontane, Il Palladio, the Villa Pompeianacafeteria and L'Obelisco(an à la carte restaurant) - where guests can indulge in the tastiest Mediterranean and international dishes prepared by our chefs. There will be 10 bars, including two open-air ones (Mojito Bar and Piraña Bar). The spacious Foscolo deck, the cafeteria Villa Pompeiana and the two pool areas (Coral Bayand Cayo Levantado) will offer more room and comfort with panoramic views for the guests. There will also be a Kaito Sushi Bar similar to the one on board MSC Musica and offering Japanese ambience, a Zen garden and representative art pieces.
The Zebra Bar
It will be the name of the music bar with dance floor and inviting atmosphere. African themes inform this exotic space. Lamp shades, flooring, sculptures and picture frames will all be black and white, in line with the design.
Stone age Children's Area
Children will play in prehistoric caves and among dinosaurs; the same theme will be found in the games on deck 14, with a new Puppet Theatre.
MSC Poesia, the third star in the Musica class will be the latest wonder in the MSC Cruises fleet.
