10th Aug 2025 | 7 nights | MSC Cruises | MSC Euribia
MSC Euribia, launched in June 2023 in Copenhagen and christened by the legendary Sophia Loren, is the second ship in the MSC fleet powered by eco-friendly liquified natural gas (LNG). As the 22nd ship in MSC Cruises' fleet and the third Meraviglia-Plus class vessel, it offers an exciting blend of innovation and sustainability. With a capacity for 6,334 passengers, MSC Euribia introduces new dining, drinking, and entertainment experiences while showcasing the line's commitment to environmental responsibility.
MSC Euribia is a testament to MSC Cruises' commitment to sustainability. Powered by LNG, the cleanest marine fuel, the ship reduces greenhouse emissions by up to 21% compared to standard fuels. As the technology for bio and synthetic fuels becomes available, emissions will continue to decrease. The ship also features an advanced wastewater treatment system and underwater radiated noise management, minimizing environmental impact.
MSC Euribia offers a variety of exciting activities to cater to all types of cruisers. The heart of the ship is the vibrant Galleria Euribia, a promenade lined with shops, bars, and restaurants, topped with a 305-foot LED screen showing dynamic light displays. There’s something for everyone: from a sprawling pool deck with five pools to an exhilarating ropes course, a bowling alley, and a 4D cinema. For those seeking relaxation, the Aurea Spa provides a tranquil retreat, while families can enjoy the LEGO-themed Kids' Club or participate in interactive activities such as virtual adventures with VR headsets and F1 car rides. MSC Euribia also boasts exclusive facilities within its MSC Yacht Club, including a private lounge and pool deck.
When it comes to dining, MSC Euribia doesn't disappoint. The ship introduces exciting new concepts such as the French-style steakhouse Le Grill, replacing the popular Butcher’s Cut, and Kaito Teppanyaki’s “Robotyaki” experience, where chefs grill your meal in front of you. For wine lovers, the Helios Wine Bar offers an innovative experience with touch-screen tables that educate you about wine while you sip. Guests can enjoy a range of specialty restaurants, including Kaito Sushi, L'Atelier Bistro, and Hola! Tacos, while Jean-Philippe Maury’s chocolate café and gelato shop are a sweet treat not to be missed. There's also a Champagne Bar for a touch of glamour, along with a more relaxed English-style pub and Sky Lounge for sophisticated cocktails.
MSC Euribia offers a variety of cabins, including Inside, Outside (Sea View), Balcony, and Suites. The luxurious suites, located within the exclusive MSC Yacht Club, include options like the Royal Suite and Duplex Suite, which provide access to private areas such as a pool deck, lounge, and dining room. All cabins are well-equipped with twin beds, USB ports, interactive TV, a safe, and a mini-bar. For added indulgence, Aurea category suites feature access to the Aurea Thermal Suite and a range of amenities like bathrobes, slippers, and a pillow menu. Some of the top suites even have whirlpools on the balcony, ensuring a truly luxurious experience.
MSC Euribia also introduces the MSC Foundation Youth Centre, a dedicated space for teens to engage in sustainable activities. The Kids’ Club offers more than 100 hours of live entertainment per cruise, ensuring younger passengers are thoroughly entertained. Families can also enjoy various shared experiences, including family game shows, a basketball court, and an arcade room.

MSC Cruises is one of the most diverse cruise lines you can sail on with a multicultural mix of Italians, Brits, Spanish, Germans and French in the Mediterranean, with more North Americans in the Caribbean (but still lots of Italians and Spanish-speaking passengers), and a big local market in South Africa and South America. You'll also come across all ages. The lively night scene means these ships work well for teens and younger cruisers, while the decent kids' clubs (particularly on the newer ships) and the clever arrangements of clustered family cabins mean a lot of families travel during school holidays.
Yes, a little. The usual dress code is informal during the day and smart-casual at night -- think nice trousers and shirt for men and nice pants/skirts with blouse or cocktail dress for women. There's usually one gala night per cruise, when black tie or dark suit and tie are encouraged for men, as is a formal dress for women. This is not enforced, but people do make an effort.
No, unless you're in one of the Yacht Club suites, and even then, not everything is included. MSC sells its cruises through a somewhat bewildering array of packages: Bella, Fantastica, Aurea and Yacht Club. All include your accommodation, meals in specified restaurants and big-stage entertainment, along with basic coffee and tea, and select juices at breakfast and lunch. Beyond that, perks and inclusions vary by which package you've purchased, with Bella having no additional inclusions and Aurea featuring unlimited beverages. The Yacht Club has the most inclusions, with extra dining venues for eating, spa thermal suite passes and most beverages (plus access to a personal butler and a dedicated Yacht Club lounge and pool).
The action onboard an MSC ship is nonstop, with cruisers flocking to participate in pool games, sports contests, shopping promotions, trivia, karaoke and filling the nightclubs until late. On newer ships, high-tech arcade games are all the rage, including a 4D cinema, laser maze, F1 simulator and bowling. Many MSC cruisers are also just as happy to park themselves by a pool and stay there all day, and when the ship is in port, you'll find the vast majority of cruisers off the ship on ship-sponsored or independent tours.
