Evenings on MSC Armonia: Dinner, Shows and a Stern Disco
Evenings on MSC Armonia centre on the Main Theatre, where a new production with international singers, dancers and acrobats plays every night, included in the fare. Popular shows fill quickly, so booking a seat in advance is worth doing. Before the show, dinner is a multi-course menu that rotates each evening, included in the fare.
After the curtain, it is her two very different dance floors that set her evenings apart. Drinks in her bars are charged unless you have a drinks package. Later on, the Starlight Disco Bar at the stern, a place for the views by day, becomes a dance floor once the DJ takes over, while the Silent Disco hands out headphones so everyone dances to their own music, at no extra charge.
Spring Round-Trips from Venice, Mozambique Sailings from Durban
MSC Armonia spends the spring in the Mediterranean, on 5- and 7-night round-trips from Venice in April and May, and 7-night round-trips from Brindisi in April and May and from Split in May. Stops change between departures, but you might see Kotor, Corfu, Dubrovnik and Zadar; our search for week-long Mediterranean cruises opens on sailings of exactly this length. In January she sails one-way from Genoa to Barcelona or Marseille over 9 or 10 nights; ports vary, though Málaga, Casablanca and Tangiers are among them.
In November and February she sails in Southern Africa, on 3- and 4-night round-trips from Durban into Mozambique, with typical calls such as Maputo, Pomene National Reserve and Ilha dos Portugueses; she has departures from Cape Town too. Wherever she sails from, Venice or Durban, we book the flights from the UK, a hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday, so a night or two in Durban turns those Mozambique nights into part of a longer stay.
Her sister ships include MSC Sinfonia, MSC Lirica and MSC Opera, and the rest of the line’s ships are on our MSC Cruises guide.
Lego, Kids’ Clubs and a Thermal Spa on MSC Armonia
Children on MSC Armonia have supervised kids and teens clubs for every age from infants to 17, included in the fare, and a Lego Experience with play areas and themed building sessions that is free to enter; only the souvenir sets in the shop cost extra. The Arcade adds games and virtual reality for older children and competitive parents, charged separately.
Adults can keep a routine at the MSC Gym Powered by Technogym, which looks out to sea and is free to use, with classes charged, or on the walking and jogging track on deck. The pools and whirlpools are included in the fare. At the MSC Aurea Spa, the thermal area with its sauna and salt room is for over-18s, and treatments such as hot stone massages are paid extras.
MSC Armonia Cabins and Deck Plans
Her suites head the range, and her balcony cabins sleep up to three. The MSC Armonia cabins and deck plans show which decks sit nearest the kids’ clubs and pools.
