History

AI-generated

MSC Virtuosa is a Meraviglia-Plus-class cruise ship built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, France, and the second vessel in her class. Originally scheduled to debut from Genoa, her delivery and entry into service were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the ship ultimately entering service after being delivered to MSC Cruises. The vessel was christened by actress Sophia Loren.
