MSC Virtuosa

DINING

MSC Virtuosa’s dining scene dishes up the Main Dining room and buffet combination you’d expect on a cruise. The decor’s sleek and the food is fantastic, but you’ll want to take a peek at the menus of Virtuosa’s speciality restaurants too. Watch ingredients sizzle at Kayto Teppanyaki, grab a light bite at Kayto Sushi or settle in for surf and turf at the sleek and stylish Butcher’s Cut. Of the 10 restaurants on board, Indochine is the standout spot. The French-Vietnamese dishes feel familiar and exciting all at once - and the addition of veggie and vegan options ensure everyone’s catered for.

ENTERTAINMENT & THINGS TO DO

Entertainment on the Virtuosa cruise ship reaches new heights thanks to the avant-garde, breath-taking performances by Carousel At Sea. Exclusive to MSC, the shows in the Carousel Lounge blend live music, acrobatics, innovative technology and dance to create an unforgettable immersive experience for everyone. For more traditional entertainment, definitely take a seat for one - or both - of the two musicals aboard Virtuosa, Ajedrez and Arkymea. In the MSC Starship Club, the innovative tech returns with a humanoid bartender named Rob. The first of his kind at sea, the robot rustles up a drink in style.

CABIN TYPES

17 different cabin grades ensure there’s a room (or suite) for everyone aboard MSC Virtuosa. From the cosy comforts of the Studio Interior to the grand opulence of the MSC Yacht Club Duplex Suite - with a whirlpool, modern simplicity is the through-theme. If you’re looking for space - without a balcony, Junior Ocean View rooms bring those all important sea views and storage space. For families, the Premium Suite Aurea may well be worth splashing out on. Sleeping up to six people, the spacious room and balcony includes 24hr room service, exclusive sun deck access and breakfast in your cabin for a hassle-free start to the day.
