MSC Armonia
MSC Armonia is a Lirica-class cruise ship that began service as European Vision for Festival Cruises, notably serving as a secure floating venue for world leaders during the 27th G8 summit in Genoa. The ship was chartered despite high terrorism concerns following threats to the city, though the U.S. President ultimately chose to stay at a dockside hotel instead. MSC Cruises acquired the vessel in 2004 and has since operated it on Mediterranean and Atlantic routes, with various homeports including Havana, Miami, and Tampa.
MSC Armonia has a gross tonnage of 65,542 and a lower-berth passenger capacity of 1,950, supported by a crew of 721. The ship measures 275 metres in length with a beam of 32 metres, and is arranged over 13 decks with 975 total cabins. She is powered by Wartsila engines and operates at a service speed of 21 knots.
