Five major cruise lines that market to North Americans are rolling out new ships this year. Here, USA TODAY profiles one of the new offerings: MSC Cruises' MSC Preziosa.
MSC PREZIOSA
Line: MSC Cruises
Maiden voyage: March 24
Home ports: Genoa, Naples and Messina, Italy; Barcelona, Spain; Marseille, France.
Size (in tons): 139,400
Passengers: 3,502
The buzz: Like three earlier vessels in MSC Cruises' Fantasia class, the MSC Preziosa will be a large, mass-market ship catering to an international clientele. It'll boast three main dining rooms, multiple bars and a wide variety of entertainment as well as a sprawling spa area.
Like the earlier Fantasia class ships, MSC Preziosa also will feature one of the line's signature MSC Yacht Clubs -- an upscale "ship-within-a-ship" area that is exclusive to passengers staying in top cabins.
