MSC Cruises announced that it will deploy the MSC Splendida to China as of May 2018.

This follows the announcement of the opening of the new MSC Cruises office in Shanghai and a new management and operations team based there.

Built in 2009, MSC Splendida features 1,637 cabins, 76% of which come with a balcony and can accommodate a total of 4,363 guests.

In her new positioning, she will join MSC Lirica, which has been serving the Chinese market since May 2016 and has recently moved her homeport to Tianjin, to serve the North China market during the winter season.

MSC Splendida will also introduce the MSC Yacht Club to the Chinese market. This is an exclusive, “ship-within-a-ship” high-end concept and is designed for the most discerning guests who desire exclusivity and privacy. Offering a broad range of private facilities, MSC Yacht Club’s guests benefit from exclusive services including a 24-hour personal butler, dedicated concierge reception as well as priority boarding and disembarkation.
MSC Splendida will visit cruise destinations in China, Japan and Korea. Her itinerary details will be communicated shortly.
