MSC Magnifica

MSC Magnifica in Venice

ABOVE: MSC Magnifica leaves Venice for a 7-day Eastern Mediterranean cruise.

Venice waterfrontIn our MSC Poesia Eastern Mediterranean Cruise review, we described a 7-day roundtrip cruise from Venice aboard a ship of MSC Crociere (Italian for "MSC Cruises").

MSC Poesia has been replaced on the Eastern Mediterranean route by a newer ship, MSC Magnifica, which is a 2,500-passenger vessel of MSC's Musica class.

We were on the Zattere, a promenade alongside Venice's Giudecca Canal, when MSC Magnifica departed on its second roundtrip Eastern Mediterranean cruise of the 2010 season. Here are two video clips of the ship as it left Venice for Bari, Katakolon, Izmir, Istanbul, and Dubrovnik:

For more information on MSC Magnifica's itinerary and what it's like to cruise with MSC, see our MSC Poesia cruise review and 241 pages of  MSC Eastern Mediterranean cruise photos with captions.

To learn more about the new ship, visit the MSC Magnifica page at the MSC Cruises Web site.
