Review of MSC Musica
Launched in 2006, MSC Musica is the first of MSC Cruises Musica-class ships, together with Orchestra, Poesia and Magnifica.
History - construction and ownership
MSC Cruises (MSC Crociere) is a passenger shipping company headquartered in Genoa and Naples. It was established in 1960. Today, MSC Crociere is a subsidiary of MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) - world's 2nd largest containership company. MSC Crociere is the world's largest privately-owned cruise company. By annual passenger shipping volumes, MSC is ranked world's 4th largest cruise company (after Carnival Corporation, RCCL-Royal Caribbean and NCL-Norwegian) with over 5% global market share.
The 92,409-ton, 2,550-passenger cruise ship MSC Musica was launched in 2006, and her guests were amazed as she was the largest in the MSC cruise fleet and christened by the superb film star Sophia Loren. This way MSC Cruises grabbed the largest piece of English speaking market, no matter the company is the famous “Beautiful, Passionate, Italian”. The Musica cruise ship attracted different nationalities – Germans in winter months, Italians in summer months, with the tendency to be attended by more and more Americans when the high season comes.
