MSC Fantasia
“The ship that launched the Fantasia class — MSC Yacht Club luxury alongside mainstream Mediterranean cruising.”
MSC Fantasia was the lead ship of MSC Cruises' Fantasia class when she debuted in 2008, introducing the ship-within-a-ship MSC Yacht Club concept that's since become a signature across the MSC fleet. She sails Western Mediterranean itineraries from Barcelona in the summer season, then repositions to Santos, Brazil for South American sailings to Uruguay and Argentina in the winter — one of several MSC ships supporting the line's growing South America deployment.
MSC Yacht Club — a ship-within-a-ship enclave with its own concierge, 24-hour butler service, private restaurant (L'Etoile), and exclusive pool deck, offered here on one of the ships that originated the concept.
