MSC Lirica
MSC Cruises · Lirica Class
What it's like
- A mid-size ship: you'll feel more movement than on the giants when the sea is rough.
- Less room per guest than most ships, so expect busier pool decks and more lines at peak times.
- Refreshed recently (2021), so it has many of the line's newest features.
- A kids' club for families, plus adults-only space for a quieter escape.
Highlights: Intimate, boutique mid-sized ships featuring open-air spray parks, outdoor poolside movie screens, traditional Italian gelaterias, and relaxed piano lounges built for destination-heavy routing.

General tips for any ship
- For the least motion, choose a cabin low and in the middle of the ship (midship), near the central elevators.
- For quiet, avoid cabins directly under the pool deck, buffet, theater or nightclub, and right beside the elevators or service areas.
- Cabins at the very front feel the most pitching in rough seas; cabins at the very back can feel some vibration from the engines.
- Some balcony cabins have partly blocked views (lifeboats, for example); the deck plan marks them, so check before you book.
For the exact layout, see the official deck plan for MSC Lirica on MSC Cruises's website ↗.
