Good news, MSC Musica is returning to South African waters for the 2024/25 summer cruise season. A firm favourite with South Africans because of her generous space, unmatched facilities and the fact that a large proportion of her cabins have balconies, this elegant liner will grace local shores from November 2024.
Regular cruisers will know that a large part of the cruise experience is the delight of socialising with old and new friends, and the varied public spaces offer the perfect place to do so. But a romantic, private space rounds everything off. A balcony in the cabin offers guests a private space from which to savour the constantly changing panorama of ocean and sky, a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle.
When it's time to come down from your private eyrie, the beautiful and spacious MSC Musica has a tremendous range of options to satisfy your thirst for experiences. The overall theme of elegance and refinement is struck by the central foyer with its waterfall and piano.

Outdoors, there are multiple decks, with the social centre naturally being the glamorous pool deck. Indoors, there's a range of venues to cater for different activities and moods. Dance the night away to a live band in the Crystal Lounge or lose yourself in the beat at Q32 Disco. For a total change of pace, let the smooth aromas of the best cigars inspire deep conversations in the Havana Club lounge or get the adrenaline pumping in the Sanremo Casino.
Feel like a show? Check out what's on offer at the sumptuous Teatro la Scala.
Eating and drinking offer some of the best and most memorable experiences of any holiday-a chance to savour different tastes and enjoy the company of your companions. MSC Musica has no fewer than 12 bars to provide the perfect place to harmonise with your mood, and there is a great choice of restaurants too.
Children and teens have very distinct needs and expectations of a holiday, and MSC Musica takes good care of them. Think separate indoor and outdoor playgrounds and chill spaces, plus age-appropriate activities.
MSC Musica is a smart ship with excellent Wi-Fi, and the MSC For Me app offers new levels of convenience. Use it to check out what's on, and book as needed, and stay in contact with the rest of your party-and the new friends you make!
Exciting news is that MSC Cruises' vessels are all now connected to the Starlink network. Excellent ship-to-shore communication means guests can stay in touch with their landbound friends and family-and share tantalising snaps of their newly minted memories in real time.
Cruising is one of the most versatile holiday choices you can make, with something for everyone in the party to enjoy, plus the freedom of life on the ocean wave and the chance to visit interesting new destinations.
