MSC Cruises takes delivery of next-generation cruise ship MSC Meraviglia

MSC Cruises recently took official delivery of next-generation cruise ship MSC Meraviglia - with a guest capacity of 5,714 - at the STX France shipyard. MSC Meraviglia is both the biggest ship to ever be built by a European ship owner - MSC Cruises - and the biggest to come into service in 2017.

She looks like a floating building: with 315m lenght and 65m height, MSC Meraviglia can host up to 5.700 passengers.

The MSC flagship, freshly christened on June 3rd, will call in the Mediterranean from Barcelona, Genoa and Marseille.

The fact that MSC decided to set one of the 6 new ships due to come into service between 2017 and 2020 in Marseille, shows their belief in the 2nd biggest french city growth potential.

As a reminder, Marseille is the biggest cruise port in France and the fastest growing cruise port in the Mediterranean (#4 so far).
