About MSC Sinfonia
MSC Sinfonia is a Lirica-class ship completed in 2002 as European Stars, the last ship built for Festival Cruises. After Festival went bankrupt she was laid up in Barcelona, bought by MSC in 2004 and put into service under her new name in March 2005. In early 2015 Fincantieri's Palermo yard inserted a 24-metre midsection with 193 extra cabins, taking her to about 65,500 gross tons and 275 metres. Most of her passenger decks are named after composers. In summer 2026 she sails seven-night Greek Isles cruises from Bari, and she stays in the Mediterranean for winter 2026-27.
