MSC Cruises have again announced the date of delivery of yet another new ship. Only three days after the MSC Magnifica flag ceremony MSC Cruises signed a letter of intent for the delivery of MSC Favolosa, their latest ship for June 2012, to join the eleven new vessels built in the last 7 years.

Pierfrancesco Vago, CEO of MSC Cruises stated: “At a time when many companies are cautious about investing, MSC Cruises once again signals the record-breaking extent of its ambition. This latest ship once built will bring our capacity to 1,400,000 passengers, confirming both the success of our strategy and our confidence in further growth.”

Measuring 333.3m in length and 38m in beam, MSC Favolosa will have a total of 1751cabins and will be able to travel at speeds of up 23.7 knots.

Thanks to award-winning naval architects De Jorio Design International the latest addition to the Fantasia class, technically called V32, will herald a state-of-the-art concept in space management, which will include two additional lifts to improve passenger flow and a total redesign of decks and restaurants to offer guests on board the ship unprecedented comfort and the highest space ratio per passenger. To achieve the highest standards of respect for the environment, substantial investments will include more efficient evaporators, chillers, a new generation of propulsion motors and an additional bow thruster to improve maneuverability.
