We are extremely excited to be able to offer our guests this wonderful opportunity.

The new MSC Magnifica - which will surely live up to her name - will arrive Dec. 26, 2009 in Fort Lauderdale directly from her christening to begin her inaugural season as a part of the MSC Cruises' fleet, joining the equally beautiful MSC Poesia, which was introduced earlier this year.

MSC Magnifica features 1,275 staterooms, of which 80% are outside staterooms and 65% have a balcony. There will be 236,000 square feet of public spaces, 7 themed areas, 2 pools and 4 hot tubs, plus a 13,000-square-foot spa. Guests can select from four restaurants, including speciality dining restaurant.

Like her sister ships MSC Musica, MSC Orchestra, and MSC Poesia, the MSC Magnifica features sophisticated and elegant decor, attention to detail, the finest in international entertainment and Italian hospitality that will ensure guests enjoy a truly 'Beautiful. Passionate. Italian.' experience as only MSC Cruises can present.

Be sure not to miss this marvelous magic experience at sea!
