MSC clinches deal with world-renowned Cirque
MSC Cruises has entered into a long-term partnership with Cirque du Soleil to create new live shows onboard its four, newest Meraviglia ships, the first of which will set sail in June 2017
Taking place inside the purpose-built 450-seat Aft Lounges, they will offer two-performances a night, six days a week.
"Together with Cirque du Soleil are now designing a totally new, live entertainment experience for our guests," said executive chairman Pierfrancesco Vago, This commitment to innovation, and the vision and creativity that only a family-owned company can apply, that make MSC Cruises so distinct".
Further Meraviglia ships are scheduled for delivery in 2019, 2020 and 2022.
