MSC Magnifica
Designed with elegant features, stylish décor and a whole wealth of Italian style, the MSC Magnifica is a ship to be proud of. Joining the fleet in 2010, she became the last of four in the Musica Class to be delivered to MSC Cruises along with sister ships MSC Musica, Orchestra and Poesia.
On board there are plenty of things to enjoy including swimming pools, dining venues, bars, lounges, an entertainment complex, and a sports court.
What's On-board
The two main restaurants, L’Edera and Quattro Venti are where you can savour delicious Mediterranean and international cuisine. Along with an exceptional service, you’ll find your dining experience outstanding at both of these eateries. For a quick spot of lunch you should give Sahara, the buffet restaurant, a try. Open for breakfast and lunch, it serves a variety of fine Italian dishes - you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Speciality dining options are also available for a small cover charge. At the Oriental Plaza, you can enjoy Asian cuisine at its finest. From the hot and spicy stir fry to the sweeter tastes of hoi sin duck, you’ll find it here. There is also an on-board pizzeria. Snacks are also served in The Sports Bar. Room service is available at all times of day, but has some small charges depending on what you order.
When it comes to drinks, on board you’ve plenty of bars to choose from, including L’Ametista Lounge, L’Olimpaide Sporting Bar, Ruby Bar and the Cuba Lounge Cigar Room.
There are a variety of staterooms and suites available on-board MSC Magnifica ranging from interior cabins to those with windows, balconies and suites which are the most spacious. Family suites are available which sleep up to five people.
There are many activities to be enjoying during those days at sea. Enjoy a swim - or simply cool off - in one of the three swimming pools. And, one of the pools has a clever Magrodome retractable roof, so you can enjoy it whatever the weather. There are also nine whirlpools. If you like a game of tennis, basketball or shuffleboard, venture over to the Sports Centre. Like bowling? Head to the bowling alley and see if you can strike lucky! And, thanks to the ship’s jogging track, you can even go for a leisurely jog on your cruise – you’ll find it really liberating as you take in the panoramic views. For an invigorating work out, head to the gymnasium. You’ll find an array of high tech equipment here. If you love shopping, then treat yourself or a loved one in the ship’s shopping area.
With MSC Magnifica’s state-of-the-art Royal Theatre, you can look forward to really lavish theatre shows. L’Amethista Lounge is where you can dance along to a live band. Want to have a dance in a really funky place? Then get your dancing shoes on and head to the futuristic T32 Disco. If you want to catch a movie whilst on your cruise, head over to the ship’s big screen. You´ll also discover plenty of quiet spots, which are perfect for relaxing or enjoying a night-cap in. Or, test your luck at the glitzy Atlantic City Casino. Fancy a game of cards? Check out the Card Room.
When it comes to the little cruisers, the entertainment team are sure to provide them with plenty of age appropriate activities throughout the day. Perfect for children and teens aged 3 – 17. And, it’s all complimentary, of course. Kids will also love the 4D cinema, video arcade and underwater-themed playroom.

I recently went on a fantastic cruise MSc Magnifica. The ship was wonderful. Lots to see and do. It was nice to be on a ship that had recently come into service (2010) as everything was so new. We met lots of great friends. I really loved the treatments I got in the Aurea Spa, something everyone should experience. The food was great, something for everyone with some great speciality restaurants too! We really enjoyed the Oriental Plaza. All in all a great trip!
Cruise was 7 day - Magnifica - Belgium, Hamburg, Holland and France.
Myself and family members were thoroughly disappointed by this cruise.
I had to take on that I had never experienced a European cruise before, having cruised a number of times in other parts of the world-
The ship is attractive enough however the entertainment was sub standard - real amateur productions in comparison to other cruises. If you have never been on a cruise you may think that what this has to offer is great, however I have and it did not offer very much. The entertainment throughout the day was just awful - half an hour of a quiz maybe!! or staff that did not have the personality to encourage guests or just did not want to, it appeared.
I found a handful of staff eager, approachable and absolutely great (especially Ava and Ivan), however some of the behaviours of the staff towards each other and their attitude toward customers left a lot to be desired. I witnessed arguments between staff, another staff member ridiculing another staff member due to the way he looked - this took place in front of customers, staff joking around and chasing each other!! Never have i witnessed this on a cruise.
Everything cost, and I felt that this was the focus - to make more money on top of money.
The ports are very unattractive (that is no ones fault) but then more needs to be done so that they look inviting in order to come off of the boat!
It was an experience but not one that i would like to have again!
I had the service charge taken off of my bill as I did not think that the service should be given anything - i then tipped staff who i felt deserved it.
Not on my list of greats whatsoever!
My partner and I recently cruise on the MSC Magnifica. We stayed in an ocean view cabin and were very impressed with the spacious cabin we were allocated. There was plenty of room around our bed and there was a lot of room in the cabin to really make ourselves feel at home. The foyer was very impressive and simply oozed grandeur. The cleanliness from top to bottom of the ship was immaculate! A fantastic testament to the incredibly hard working staff on board. Nothing was too much trouble for them which made everything very easy. They were very efficient too and made sure our holiday went without a hitch! Absolutely loved it!
