History
AI-generated

MSC Magnifica is a Musica-class cruise ship built by STX Europe in Saint-Nazaire, France, and entered service operated by MSC Cruises. The ship was christened by Italian actress Sophia Loren and gained notable attention when its horns were used to play "Seven Nation Army" during the Hamburg Port Anniversary celebration in 2014. MSC Magnifica underwent a significant refurbishment and stretching project that added new restaurants, cabins, a water park, and advanced environmental systems.
