MSC Splendida
MSC Cruises · Fantasia & Musica Class
What it's like
- A very large ship: it usually feels steady, with mild motion in normal seas.
- Lots of room per guest, so pool decks and lines feel calmer than on most ships.
- Refreshed recently (2024), so it has many of the line's newest features.
- A kids' club for families, plus adults-only space for a quieter escape.
Highlights: Traditional European-designed ocean liners featuring a Swarovski crystal staircase, retractable glass magrodome pool roofs, authentic Balinese-style MSC Aurea Spa complexes, and massive classic Broadway-style theaters.

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 Splendida on MSC Cruises's website ↗.
