Atmosphere and guests
All ages
A large family ship born in the Mediterranean, combining a lively atmosphere with full-scale Cirque du Soleil shows in an experience-focused setting. LNG propulsion and its environmental considerations are also notable.
Mainly operates in Northern Europe and the Baltic Sea, attracting primarily European passengers.
MSC Euribia uses a dual-fuel engine running primarily on LNG (liquefied natural gas). As a Meraviglia-class ship, it is designed to significantly reduce SOx and particulate-matter emissions.
