With our constant expansion, our fleet will grow in capacity with the arrival of seven new ships in three different classes by 2027. One of our latest ships – MSC World Europa – was delivered in 2022, inaugurating the World Class. It is our largest cruise ship to date, with a capacity of over 6,700 passengers, served by more than 2,000 crew members. In 2023 we inaugurated the MSC Euribia equipped with the best and latest environmental technology and bestowed with a highly-innovative design. In 2023 MSC Cruises entered the Luxury segment by launching its first of four Explora Journeys ships.
