MSC Bellissima: Megaship features all the new tech toys

Snapshot

Launched in March 2019, MSC Bellissima is the sleek new megaship from MSC Cruises, following in the steps of its sister, MSC Meraviglia, which debuted in June 2017.

MSC Bellissima features modern technology that passengers can use to make payments, book specialty restaurants and to help parents locate their children. (Cool.) It also boasts a voice-enabled, artificial intelligence digital cruise "assistant" called Zoe, placed in every cabin and pre-programmed to answer 800 cruise-related questions. (We'll reserve judgment.)

The ship's indoor promenade sports a 260-foot-tall LED ceiling that projects various scenes throughout the day. The promenade is the focal point of the ship, featuring shops, restaurants and bars. It is also home to the nightly parades, featuring the ship's onboard performers. Also in the evening you'll find two new Cirque du Soleil at Sea shows, which were created exclusively for the ship. 

Where MSC Bellissima sails

MSC Bellisima spent its maiden season in the Mediterranean followed by sailings around the Persian Gulf. The ship is resuming voyages beginning in the Asia-Pacific region.
