MSC Lirica

MSC Lirica was the first newbuild cruise ship to enter service for MSC Cruises and serves as the lead ship of her class. The vessel experienced a bow collision with pier facilities in Civitavecchia due to strong winds and was later lengthened, after which a fire broke out in the newly added section while the ship was in lay-up in Corfu, though no injuries were reported. MSC Lirica has operated across multiple regions including the Mediterranean, Asia, and the United Arab Emirates, and notably served as accommodations for athletes at the Summer Universiade in Naples.
