The christening of the MSC Euribia in June 2023 marked a significant milestone for MSC Cruises, clearly showing the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability. Named after the Greek goddess of the sea with power over the winds and waves, the MSC Euribia is full of technical innovations, contributing to responsible ocean travel.

MSC Euribia is part of the MSC Cruises’ Meraviglia-Plus class ships. She is the first ship in the fleet featuring hull art. Her hull shows a captivating artwork titled  #SaveTheSea by renowned marine artist Alex Flämig depicting marine life. This work was chosen from many submissions after MSC had lauched a competition in October 2021 already to be able to choose the most spectacular hull art for their new ship, also symbolizing MSC Cruises’ commitment to the sea. The five finalists have their designs displayed on board the ship in a new gallery.

With a length of 331 meters MSC Euribia can accommodate up to 6,327 guests max. With a total of 2,419 cabins on board, the variety of cabin categories is wide, ranging from single cabins to a duplex suite with a private whirlpool bath, a sea-view balcony cabin or a family suite. As usual the most luxurious accommodation can be found in the Yacht Club, the Royal Suite measuring 58 sqm, with its 70 sqm balcony on Deck 15 being the top of the range. It has a balcony with private whirlpool, bath and dining table, a separate living area and dining room and of course 24-hour butler service and a dedicated concierge as well.

The covered promenade Galleria Euribia is one of the highlights on board. This promenade features an LED sky, the longest LED dome at sea, which attracts attention with changing animations of starry skies, whales swimming by etc. The Galleria features restaurants, cafes, bars and boutiques and a novelty is that shoppers can now purchase luxury brands in one dedicated area, the newly created Luxury Plaza, a square surrounded by shops selling luxury brands, providing the ultimate shopping experience. The main shop being TimeVallée, a luxury and innovative multi-brand store offering clients access to the most prestigious “watch Maisons”- as they put it. Furthermore, the Euribia Boutique offers a wide range of clothing, while the MSC Logo Store sells items related to MSC Cruises and the MSC Euribia. MSC shows its commitment to improving onboard sustainability by focussing on the use of recycled and natural materials and less packaging materials used.

A real eyecatcher, commissioned specifically for MSC Euribia in the Gelleria Euribia promenade can be found in the l’Atelier du Voyageur bar. It is a digital artwork by Julian Opie, a renowned British artist. It is an expansive 11 x 2 m bespoke-built LED screen. Opie drew 8 strangers, passing by and returning in a continuous video.  

The Carousel lounge, situated aft on the ship, is a specially designed theater and lounge offering panoramic ocean views. In the morning, guests can have a light breakfast here, the rest of the day the bar is open offering drinks and light snacks. During the day there are multiple activities in the Carousel Lounge. However, in the evening you will find the new Big Band here, consisting of 19 musicians. You are invited to the dance floor during their three times a night dazzling show!

All 5 pools are capable of easily accommodating over a 1,000 guests. Ocean Cay Aquapark also features three spectacular water slides.

MSC Euribia introduces a sustainable future for cruising.

The MSC Euribia represents a significant step forward in the cruise industry’s journey towards a more sustainable future. By integrating cutting-edge technology with luxurious amenities and a commitment to environmental responsibility, she sets a new standard. The cruise division of MSC Group published data and learnings from the world’s net zero-emissions cruise, which was a 4-day sailing from St. Nazaire, France to Copenhagen, Denmark in June 2023. The MSC Euribia surpassed its forecast performance resulting in 43 tonnes less fuel used than planned.
A “digital twin” technology was used to benchmark the ship’s performance, but the MSC Euribia performed 11% better than her virtual twin, a computer ship model reproducing the optimum energy flow and utilisation on board.
With heating and hot water on board produced by capturing waste heat from her engines, the boilers on board were not required. In addition, optimal speed profiles, routing, trim and engine configuration, combined with optimisation of the hotel department’s energy consumption, including HVAC (heating, ventilation and airconditioning), galleys, and lighting, ensured that she never had to use more than two of her four engines during the voyage.

MSC Cruises has partnered with Gasum Oy a Finnish state-owned energy company operating in Scandinavia enabling them to access new and cleaner fuels needed to make a significant step forward to net zero cruising. Gasum provides the e-LNG (liquefied synthetic gas) for MSC Euribia, renewable fuel produced using hydrogen, created by hydrolysis with renewable energy and captured carbon. Meaning MSC Euribia is powered by a completely climate neutrally produced fuel.

After MSC Euribia‘s net zero emission cruise, Michele Francioni, Senior Vice President of Optimisation for the MSC Cruise Division stated: “We are extremely proud of this achievement, that proves net-zero cruising is possible today. Our engineers on board and our crew led by Captain Battinelli did a fantastic job optimising the ship’s operation. MSC Euribia truly has the most energy-efficient cruise ship design to-date. However, we need support from governments and international insitutions to enable production of renewable fuels on a much larger scale to make net-zero emission cruising possible in 2050″ .
