History
AI-generatedMSC Sinfonia was originally built for Festival Cruises as European Stars and was the last ship constructed for that now-defunct company. After Festival Cruises went bankrupt in 2004, the ship was purchased by MSC Cruises and renamed MSC Sinfonia, entering service with her new owners as part of the MSC fleet. The vessel underwent a significant Renaissance program renovation that added a 24-meter midsection with 193 additional cabins.
