About MSC Divina
MSC Divina, from 2012, was named in honor of Sophia Loren, MSC’s longtime godmother, and includes a suite decorated in her style. It shares the Fantasia class’s elegant design, with Swarovski crystal staircases in the atrium and the MSC Yacht Club suites. Divina spent several years sailing year-round from Florida, giving many North Americans their first taste of MSC. It’s a good choice if you want a classic, stylish ship at a more manageable size than the newer MSC ships.
Best for: Couples and families who want an elegant, mid-to-large MSC ship for a Caribbean or Mediterranean cruise.
