MSC Meraviglia’s Peculiarities


- A 95-meter promenade with the “digital sky”;
- New family-type cabins (so-called “cluster cabins” combining up to 3 cabins into one) appeared able to accommodate up to 10 passengers simultaneously;
- A large open water park and a rope park; 
- Panoramic lifts;
- Most balcony cabins have a view of lifeboats, not the sea. The lower the deck the worse the view is. This is especially true of those cabins which are located in the depths of the ship.  
- It is the first time that interior cabins appeared in the MSC Yacht Club area.
