MSC Cruises has opened bookings for MSC Euribia, the company's most environmentally advanced ship and its second LNG-powered vessel. MSC Euribia is currently under construction at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in France and is scheduled to be launched in early June 2023. The ship will spend its inaugural season in Northern Europe, sailing from the German port of Kiel on two very different itineraries, offering passengers a wide variety of incredible destinations to discover.
MSC Euribia will offer seven-night cruises sailing to the Norwegian Fjords with weekly departures from Kiel, Germany, with stops including Copenhagen, Denmark; Hellesylt, Norway to visit Geiranger Fjord; as well as Alesund and Flaam, also in Norway, among others.
All MSC Voyagers Club members who book MSC Euribia will benefit from their usual discount plus an additional discount on the booking and will enjoy double Voyagers Club points. In addition, Silver, Gold, and Diamond members will also receive onboard credit.
The MSC Euribia will have a distinctive silhouette, thanks to an exclusive artwork designed as part of MSC Cruises' commitment to the sea. The company launched an international design competition, and the winning design, by German artist Alex Flaemig, will be permanently displayed on the ship's hull, highlighting the steps the company is taking toward a greener future. The five finalists will have their designs exhibited in an onboard gallery.
Pierfrancesco Vago, CEO of MSC Group's Cruise Division, stated: “Our goal is to equip our ships with the latest and most advanced technologies and environmental solutions, with MSC Euribia being the finest example of these advancements to date. The design by artist Flaemig perfectly captures this message of passion and dedication to preserving the marine environment and its complex ecosystem, and serves as a call to action for all those committed to saving the ocean.”
Its #SaveTheSea design presents a unique vision of the underwater environment with its precious life, intertwining the colors of the MSC Cruises and MSC Foundation logos, creating a gradient effect that paints the marine fauna and flora across the entire hull.
The MSC Euribia will enter service in 2023 and will become the second LNG-powered ship in the MSC Cruises fleet. Named after the ancient goddess Eurybia, who harnessed the winds, weather, and constellations to rule the seas, the MSC Euribia will also utilize cutting-edge sustainable technologies to protect and preserve the precious marine ecosystem.
