MSC Divina spends the year between two continents. She winters in Santos on Brazil’s coast, crosses the Atlantic to Europe in March, then spends spring and summer on Mediterranean weeks from Rome, Naples and Marmaris. She is one of a set of MSC Cruises sister ships. Life aboard runs from nightly theatre productions and live music to Italian-accented dining, with a steakhouse and a sushi counter for nights off the routine and supervised clubs for children of every age.

Evenings on MSC Divina are built around the Main Theater, where new productions with international singers, dancers and acrobats go on stage every night. Entry is included, though the popular shows are worth reserving ahead. Afterwards, Black & White pairs handcrafted cocktails with live music in elegant surroundings, and the Galaxy Lounge Bar, which looks out to sea through floor-to-ceiling windows by day, turns into a themed dance floor after dark. Both are free to enter, with drinks charged separately.
Younger guests have their own programme. The kids and teens clubs run supervised games and activities for ages from infants to 17, included in the fare, while the Arcade adds high-score games and virtual reality experiences for a separate charge.
From November to February MSC Divina is based in Santos, the port for São Paulo, running 3- and 4-night round trips. Ports change between departures, but Armação dos Búzios is a typical call. You will find these sailings alongside the rest of the region on our Brazil cruises page.
In March she heads north on one-way Atlantic crossings of 15 to 19 nights. They leave Santos or Rio de Janeiro and end in Rome (Civitavecchia), Barcelona or Naples. Stops vary by sailing, but Salvador, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Casablanca are among those you might see. The crossings are listed with the line’s other MSC repositioning cruises.
From April she settles into the Mediterranean. She runs 7-night round trips from Rome (Civitavecchia) and Naples until June, and 6- and 7-night round trips from Marmaris in Turkey through to September. Typical calls include Mykonos, Santorini and Kuşadası for Ephesus, though they change between departures. Our 7-day Mediterranean cruises search opens on weeks like these. In May there are also 8- and 9-night holidays from Rome that include flights. All of her departures need a flight from the UK, so wherever she sails from, we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers as one holiday.
Her sister ships include MSC Fantasia, MSC Splendida and MSC Preziosa, and the wider fleet is on our MSC Cruises page.
Dinner in MSC Divina’s included restaurants is a multi-course menu that changes each evening. For a night off the routine, Butcher’s Cut Steakhouse cooks its prime cuts behind an open counter, from dry-aged Tomahawk to T-Bone, with surf-and-turf on the menu and a setting that recalls America’s golden age. Galaxy Kaito prepares nigiri, sashimi, tempura and teriyaki in front of you. Both charge à la carte.
Her Italian streak shows in La Cantina Di Bacco, a rustic trattoria-style bar that pours regional wines by the glass with crispy pizzas and tapas, paid as you go.
Her top suites form the MSC Yacht Club, a ship-within-a-ship enclave with 24-hour butler assistance. Its guests share a private lounge, their own restaurant, and a sundeck and pool with a grill and bar. The MSC Divina cabins and deck plans show which suites belong to it, and our MSC Divina reviews share what other guests said about their cruise.
Cruise1st is one of the UK’s leading cruise specialists, and we know MSC Divina’s year from the Santos season to the Mediterranean summer. Her Mediterranean weeks sit alongside the rest of the line’s programme in our Mediterranean cruises with MSC Cruises search.
Come aboard the MSC Divina and discover one of 70 cabin categories on a total of 13 decks that can accommodate 4345 passengers. Choose your dream cabin and feel at home on board the MSC Divina!
On MSC Divina, I recommend spending sailaways on Deck 15 aft, where the wake views are some of the best onboard. I also suggest reserving Galaxy Restaurant early if available on your itinerary, as it remains one of the ship's standout dining experiences.

The time at sea in-between shore visits exactly right.
The prices of the trips that MSC organised is very expensive, especially as we did our own trip and ended up with MSC customers who had paid over double
Just about enough space for two, a bonus would have been coffee and tea facility. A few more charging points

The destinations were varied and will appear on many bucket lists.
The buffets were a bit manic, a variety of mini eateries aside from the buffet could have made mealtimes easier.
I've would have liked a sofa area but not available on my selection.

Staff and stateroom. Our first cruise. We will be booking again. Thank you.
Hotel booked by First Choice on our behalf in Rome - something had been sprayed very heavily in the corridors and also, oir bedroom. It was so strong, it made us feel physically sick and my wife had a feeling of burned nostrils for a few days afterwards. (Defumigation? - it wasn’t nice). Also, the arranged pick up on disembarkation - communication with driver and taxi company was very difficult and confusing and we were left waiting in heat for over an hour in the agreed waiting spot, to then be picked up in a Renault Zoe by a young man who looked like this was his first pick up, who had parked a fair distance away and didn’t look like he was even looking for us! Very small car and very uncomfortable ride to airport. Being tall, I had a very stiff neck afterwards.
Roomy, well laid out. Great balcony.
