MSC Cruises has launched the official website for MSC Fantasia, the largest ship ever commissioned by a European shipowner, which will be inaugurated in Naples on Dec. 18. The site, www.mscfantasia.com  is entirely dedicated to MSC Cruises’ new flagship, currently under construction at the Aker Yards France in St Nazaire.

Available in five languages (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish), the site includes a clock counting down to the launch day. In the background, the image of the ship, whose godmother will be Sophia Loren, changes colors according to the time of connection. The video recounts the story of the ship and its construction. The site features five special “assistants,” who accompany visitors through a virtual journey to discover the ship.

Each assistant reveals the secrets of MSC Fantasia — the captain talks about his ship, the chef recommends restaurants and specialties, the entertainment organizer talks about her work and the areas dedicated to children and kids; the butler leads visitors through the exclusive MSC Yacht Club, and the director of the MSC Aurea Spa opens the doors to the relaxation and well-being areas.

The site also has sections containing photo galleries with three-dimensional images and plans.

There is also a “Questions & Answers” space for those who wish to know more about MSC Fantasia. Finally, with “MSC Navigator,” you can visit the ship interactively, stay up-to-date on itineraries, access maps of the ports, get information and images on the areas visited, and even virtually experience the MSC Yacht Club. MSC Fantasia and its twin MSC Splendida, which will be inaugurated in July, introduce a new concept of cruise ship. In addition to new technologies, the two ships will be the first to have an exclusive VIP area in the MSC Yacht Club, made up of 99 suites, reserved areas, bars, restaurants, a solarium, two hydro-massage baths, a pool, a VIP observation lounge, a concierge desk, a panoramic view of the ship’s bow and the presence of round-the-clock butler service.
