MSC Sinfonia News
MSC Sinfonia Completes Renaissance Program Overhaul
posted March 30, 2015
MSC Cruises announced that MSC Sinfonia left Genoa, Italy, on Friday,
March 27, to resume service following ground-breaking enlargement and
enhancement work at Fincantieri’s shipyard, in Palermo, Italy.
MSC Sinfonia entered drydock in January, and returns to duty ten weeks
later with renewed amenities and enriched onboard spaces for cruise guests.
She now has even more balcony staterooms, more spacious public areas, a
greater choice of restaurants and new clubs dedicated to younger guests,
including the outdoor Spray Park with exciting waterfalls and splashy water
slides.
Thanks to recently agreed partnerships between MSC Cruises and
best-in-class childcare and toy brands, MSC Sinfonia also has special kids’
areas equipped with Chicco® and LEGO® products.
MSC Sinfonia is the second MSC Cruises ship to undergo restyling and
extension, after her sister ship MSC Armonia, which returned to sea in
November 2014. In April, MSC Opera will sail to Fincantieri’s shipyard, in
Palermo, for her 10-week enhancement work and at the end of August 2015, MSC
Lirica will also undergo her Renaissance, with a return to sea scheduled for
end of June and end of October respectively.
The $273 million Renaissance Program was undertaken to refit and extend
four ships of the MSC Cruises fleet, and involves bisecting the ship before
inserting a new 78 foot midsection into the space.
MSC Cruises also recently announced that MSC Seaside,
the first of its next generation Seaside class of ships, will sail
year-round from Miami to the Caribbean, starting November 2017. In addition,
MSC Cruises’ Miami-based operations will benefit from a newly renovated and
expanded dedicated berth and terminal at PortMiami, a project that attests
to the company’s increasing focus on the North American market, and to
providing guests with outstanding service.
MSC Cruises, which has grown by 800 percent in capacity
since 2004, carried 1.67 million guests and achieved strong financial
results in 2014, with a turnover of $1.5 billion. In addition, the company
is forecasting an additional 10 percent growth in 2015.
