MSC Musica Review

Review of MSC Musica

The 2006-built MSC Musica cruise ship is the first of MSC Cruises' Musica-class liners, with sisterships Orchestra, Poesia, Magnifica.

The vessel (IMO number 9320087) is currently Panama-flagged (MMSI 352003000) and registered in Colon.

History - construction and ownership

MSC Cruises (MSC Crociere) is a passenger shipping company headquartered in Genoa and Naples. It was established in 1960. Today, MSC Crociere is a subsidiary of MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) - the world's 2nd largest containership company. MSC Crociere is the world's largest privately-owned cruise company.

By annual passenger shipping volumes, MSC is ranked the world's 3rd largest cruise shipowner - following only Carnival Corporation and RCG-Royal Caribbean Group.

MSC Musica cruise ship

The 2500-passenger ship MSC Musica was launched in 2006 as the MSC fleet's largest vessel (at the time). With Musica, MSC grabbed a large piece of the English-speaking source market, but the liner attracted different nationalities - Germans and British in the winter, Italians in the summer months, as well as more and more Americans during high season.

Decks and Cabins

MSC Musica staterooms (1275 total, in 8 grades) include 18x Suites, 809x Balconies, 173x Oceanviews, 275x Inside. Most staterooms are sized 150-190 ft2 / 14-18 m2. Most cabin balconies are sized 40 ft2 / 4 m2. The largest are the Balcony Suites (270 ft2 / 25 m2 with terrace sized 50 ft2 / 5 m2).

The boat has 16 decks, of which 13 are passenger-accessible and 8 with cabins.

MSC Musica decks are named after musical terms/tempos.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Two formal restaurants onboard MSC Musica serve Mediterranean and Italian cuisine in traditional assigned seatings. Two buffet restaurants, which seem like a single dining area during the day, with long-serving counters, provide casual dining for breakfast and lunch. The aft buffet restaurant is reserved at night for seated dining and features a steak-house menu and extra charge; the forward one serves pizza. The a la carte sushi and Asian speciality restaurants require reservations and carry an additional charge. Ship's room service is limited to a menu including cold sandwiches and Continental Breakfast. Midnight buffets vary, ranging from traditional shipboard gala affair to themed snack-type offerings.

Itineraries

MSC Musica itinerary program is based on 7-day Eastern Caribbean roundtrips from La Romana, Pointe-a-Pitre and Fort-de-France. During summer, Musica operates 7-day Eastern Mediterranean roundtrips out of Venice to the Greek Islands. The ship also offers cheap Transatlantic repositioning crossings between Europe and the Caribbean.

Due to the Coronavirus crisis, the MSC ship Musica was paused for 2+ years (between March 2020 and June 2022), restarting operations on June 5th (Mediterranean from Monfalcone). Musica's South Africa 2021-2022 program (from Durban) was canceled.

In December 2021, MSC announced that starting on June 5, 2022, Musica will be seasonally homeported in Monfalcone Italy for 7-day roundtrips visiting Bari Italy, Katakolon-Olympia Greece, Thyra/Santorini Island Greece, and Heraklion/Crete Island Greece. Alternatively, roundtrips from Bari (homeporting) were also offered.

In the summers of 2023 and 2024 (May-November), MSC homeported Musica in Greece (Piraeus-Athens). The Eastern Mediterranean programs were based on a 7-day itinerary visiting Santorini Greece, Kusadasi-Ephesus TurkeyHaifa IsraelLimassol Cyprus, and Mykonos Greece. Besides Athens, roundtrips were also offered from the ports in Turkey, Israel and Cyprus.

For the remaining time, the ship was deployed in South America operating 8-9-day roundtrips from Buenos Aires Argentina and Montevideo Uruguay. Seasonal relocation included Transatlantic crossings between the Mediterranean and South America (RepositionCruises.com).
