Enjoy the metropolitan atmosphere of the lounge bars offering food and entertainment, including a piano bar, jazz bar and sports bar with video games and live event screenings. Holidaymakers can enjoy various dining options, from the grand Il Cerchio d’Oro and the intimate Red Velvet with real Murano glass chandeliers to El Sombrero’s Tex-Mex and cocktails.
There is a range of sport facilities, from tennis, basketball, minigolf, jogging track and gym to the Aqua Park Pool Complex, thrilling Formula 1 simulator and 4D Cinema. MSC Fantasia cruise line also offers secluded areas in the adult-only Top 18 sun deck and the indulgent MSC Aurea Spa, as well as zones and clubs for kids and teens.
