Ship
MSC Opera
MSC Cruises
MSC Opera is a charming mid-sized cruise ship and the second vessel in MSC Cruises' Lirica Class, sailing alongside sister ships MSC Lirica, MSC Armonia and MSC Sinfonia. Launched on 11 September 2003 and entering service in June 2004, she was the flagship of the MSC fleet until the arrival of MSC Musica in 2006. Following MSC's major Renaissance Programme refurbishment in 2015, MSC Opera was lengthened to 274.9 metres (902 ft) and expanded to 65,591 gross tons, enhancing onboard facilities and increasing passenger capacity. The ship features 13 decks (9 passenger-accessible) and accommodates up to 2,679 passengers, cared for by approximately 728 crew members. Guests can enjoy 2 swimming pools, 8 bars and lounges, and up to 5 dining venues, offering a relaxed and intimate cruising experience. A further refurbishment was completed in 2024, refreshing public areas and technical systems. Unique selling points include the elegant Teatro dell'Opera, family-friendly spray park, MSC Aurea Spa, spacious open decks, and classic Italian-inspired design. Perfect for guests who prefer a more traditional cruise ship atmosphere, MSC Opera combines timeless elegance, excellent service and access to destinations often unavailable to larger vessels.
