MSC Melody

A small ship with a very big heart

There’s something wonderfully sociable about a cruise on a smaller ship.

And despite her compact dimensions, which allows her access to many ports larger ships cannot enter, MSC Melody has a full complement of facilities.

Traditional outdoor pursuits like jogging and shuffleboard are catered for, there are two larger pools one of which has a retractable ‘magradome’ making it useable in almost all weathers, plus a children’s pool and a fully equipped fitness and health centre.

You can drink and dine al fresco or in the traditional comfort of the Galaxy restaurant. Elsewhere you’ll find public areas with high ceilings throughout giving MSC Melody a sense of space and style.

Comfortable lounges, intimate bars and a fine theatre make every evening a sparkling affair while at night guests can always be found in the Starlight Disco.
