Friday, 15 August 20083 min read

MSC Cruises has placed orders for two new ships.

The Italian line reportedly placed orders with the French Aker yard for two Muscia-class vessels.

The ships are due for delivery in February 2011 and February 2012, further expanding the company’s fleet.

MSC introduces its biggest ship, MSC Fantasia, in December. The 133,500-tonne ship will bring the fleet up to ten vessels, rising to 12 before the two new orders.
