MSC Orchestra

Inaugurated in 2007, MSC Orchestra is the second ship in MSC Cruises’ Musica Class. She is celebrated for striking a perfect harmony between space, comfort, and style. With her refined Italian aesthetics, the ship offers a more personal and classic cruising experience compared to the fleet’s newer mega-ships. As her name suggests, music and harmony are central themes, reflected in her spacious public areas and sophisticated interior design.
