Take a look inside the new contemporary MSC Meraviglia

In just a week, luxury brand MSC Cruises will be launching its largest ship, the MSC Meraviglia. She’ll be christened on June 3 and will be sailing the Mediterranean for her inaugural season.

The ship will have a bunch of firsts, including the Super Amusement Park, which is perfect for the entire family.

On the top deck at the Polar Aqua Park, there are three water slides, a splash pool as well as a champagne flute slide. For the adrenaline junkies, MSC has also installed a new activity called the Himalayan Bridge which is suspended 80 metres above the sea. On the MSC Merviglia, there is also a fabulous 96-metre Promenade which has shops, bars and restaurants. The entire Promenade is covered by an 80-screen LED screen – the longest at sea – that displays visuals and special effects 24 hours a day. Partnering with MSC is the renowned chocolatier, Jean-Philippe Maury. On the Promenade, guests will be able to watch chocolatiers at work and sample sweet treats at the atelier.
