The Swiss-based line was a driving force in the return of cruising, with new ships MSC Grandiosa and sister ship MSC Virtuosa now joining the fleet. Aboard the latter is a new crew member - Rob the talking robot barman - alongside more familiar features such as F1 simulators and crystal-encrusted staircases. MSC continues to live up to its nickname of more ships coming, with MSC Seascape MSC Euriba and LNG-powered MSC World Europa set to join the fleet in 2022, plus a whole new category of luxury vessels planned for the Explora journeys brand from 2023.
