Ship
MSC Armonia
MSC Cruises
MSC Armonia was one of the original ships of today's modern MSC fleet. She entered service in 2001 and was updated in 2014 under MSC's Renaissance programme when she was lengthened by adding a 24-metre section which included the new Doremi splash park. This 65,542 tonne ship at now 274.9 metres long carries 2,658 passengers over 13 decks. You'll especially appreciate the White Lion pub where friendly service and an easy-going charm will quickly turn everyone into a ‘local'. Later, as you leave the setting sun and another port of call in your wake it's time to explore the many bars, lounges and, perhaps, a special evening at the Teatro La Fenice? Whatever you do and wherever you go aboard MSC Armonia, a happy and harmonious cruise comes as standard!All MSC Armonia staterooms offer private en-suite facilities with shower, vanity area, hair dryer, air-conditioning, phone, safe, mini bar, interactive colour TV and double beds which convert to two single beds on request.
