Today, MSC Cruises is the industry's fastest growing cruise line and they clearly determined to make a name for themselves. As part of this growth strategy, MSC has hired many cruise industry veterans, including President Richard Sasso - who may be best known for building the Celebrity Cruise brand. Many of the hallmark elements of the Celebrity experience are being developed at MSC Cruises. Because of a lack of name recognition and branding, MSC Cruises are often priced like a budget cruise line, yet the onboard experience is more similar to the premium cruise experience.  MSC Cruises used to be called Mediterranean Shipping Company, and in the past focused their itineraries to that part of the world. Today, MSC Cruises is bringing their friendly and attentive Italian service beyond the Mediterranean to Northern Europe, the Caribbean and South America.

MSC's Italian cruises will let you savor their unique Italian Hospitality. MSC aims to make the passenger feel part of the family on modern cruise ships where you are not just another face in the crowd.
