Overview
Introduced in 2012, MSC Divina is among the largest ships in the fleet. It can host up to 4,345 passengers and 1,388 crew members. Some past cruisers noted that the disproportionate staff-to-guest ratio translated to slow service, especially in the dining rooms.
Still, MSC Divina offers plenty of activities to keep guests entertained. Standout facilities include a 4-D theater and four pool areas, including a 22,507-square-foot Aqua Park. Dining is on just as grand a scale: The ship contains eight restaurants, including the Eataly Restaurant that serves slow-cooked Italian meals. On top of that, there are 12 bars and lounges.
Passengers looking to up the luxury should consider booking a cabin in the MSC Yacht Club. Suites in this exclusive area feature floor-to-ceiling windows, 24-hour butler service and all-inclusive drinks within the club. More budget-friendly accommodations include Interior and Ocean View staterooms, which come equipped with TVs and minibars.
In 2019-20, MSC Divina offers sailings to the Caribbean from Miami, as well as cruises around the Mediterranean from ports in Marseille, Valencia, Barcelona and more. Divina is one of the four ships in the fleet that sails to MSC's new private island, Ocean Cay.
