Mediterranean charm to Pacific horizons crossing the Panama Canal

Your world cruise begins in Genoa embracing Mediterranean artistic heritage. After Tenerife’s volcanic slopes, you will sail across the Atlantic and step into the Caribbean.

Your world cruise takes place aboard MSC Magnifica, a refined, elegant ship designed for unhurried discovery and where the journey becomes as meaningful as the destinations.

Days begin with uninterrupted views of sea and sky. Leisure has a graceful rhythm: a spa with salt room, vitality pool and thermal rituals; a calm jog at sunrise along the deck; a game of tennis or shuffleboard with the ocean as your backdrop.

As evening falls, the Royal Theatre lights up with world-class performances, lounges hum with live music and the open decks become a glittering stage beneath the stars.

Dining becomes part of the journey too: savour Mediterranean classics, Asian flavours and globally inspired cuisine served across refined restaurants and atmospheric bars.
