Introducing MSC Divina

Construction on the newest addition to the Msc fleet MSC Divina started over a year ago and on Saturday a selected group of guests we’re invited to see her transferred at her birth place Saint Nazaire from dock B to dock C where she will undergo her final make over.

Over a million man hours will now turn the ship in to a “divine goddess”. Word has it the ships 18 decks will be named Urano, Afrodite, Aurora, Giunone, Artemide, Zeus, Mercurio, Cupido, Iride, Minerva, Apollo, Saturno, Elios after gods of ancient Greece. You may know Sophia Loren is the patron of the MSC fleet and the ship has been named and themed in honour of her.
Divina will be the 12th addition to the MSC fleet and at 140,000 ton and holding 4363 passengers she is going to be the most magnificent. She will see the debut of the Garden pool area featuring an infinity pool and unique view of the ships wake.

Christening of the Divina is scheduled to take place in Marseille on the 26th May 2012 “Grand Ball” and as always I’m sure MSC will pull out all the stops for the event. I was lucky enough to have attended the launch of MSC Poesia back in 2008 and saw Sophia Loren, Kate Tunstell and an amazing performance by Andrea bocelli.
