MSC Splendida is a Fantasia-class cruise ship built by STX Europe at Saint-Nazaire and operated by MSC Cruises. Originally planned to be named MSC Serenata, the ship was renamed MSC Splendida and was christened by actress Sophia Loren. As a Neopanamax vessel, MSC Splendida and her sister ship MSC Fantasia were designed to be the largest ships in a European cruise line's fleet at the time of delivery.
