France Short Break

MSC Virtuosa’s namesake comes from the word virtuoso, meaning someone highly skilled in music. Each deck will, in fact, be named after a different musical instrument. This new cruise ship will be one of the two largest in MSC Cruises’ fleet, along with her sister ship MSC Grandiosa. MSC Virtuosa gives guests the best experience with its expanding digital offer, spearheaded by MSC for Me and our digital cruise assistant, Zoe.

The main restaurant and buffet restaurant will both serve a diverse selection of local and international cuisine at mealtimes. Sample freshly-made Asian sushi at either Kaito Sushi or Kaito Teppanyaki. Sink your teeth into a juicy American steak at Butcher's Cut or appreciate authentic carbonara, spaghetti, and freshly-crafted pizzas at La Piazzetta Restaurant; you'll find similar choices at Eataly Restaurant. The speciality Mediterranean Village and Yacht Club Fine Dining Restaurant will also tempt your taste buds. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a tasty treat from Jean Philippe Chocolat & Cafe and get hands-on to create your own unique goods. In the comfort of your luxury guest space, feel free to order room service with ease from a varied menu. Cocktails and ice-cold beers are on the menu just footsteps from your sun bed at Solarium Pool and Bar. L'Atelier Bistrot is at the heart of the Promenade and offers great drinks, lounge seating, stage, and dance floor for your entertainment. MSC Yacht Club lets you enjoy panoramic cruise views; mingle with fellow passengers, and sip a glass of wine or two. You'll also find the Sports Bar, Aft Bar Lounge, and Piano Bar Lounge on board where you can enter into holiday mode and savour a selection of delicious beers, wines, spirits, and cocktails.
