MSC to name largest ship

 

 
 
Actress Sophia Loren is to formally name MSC Cruises’ largest ship MSC Fantasia at a ceremony in Naples tonight.
 
Italian racing driver Jarno Trulli will also open a Formula One simulator on board the vessel.
 
The 3,959-passenger ship is taller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa and longer than the Eiffel Tower.
 
It will carry 1,325 crew and has 80% of its cabins with balconies or windows.
 
MSC Fantasia is the first in the Italian line’s fleet to feature an exclusive Yacht Club area with 99 upgraded suites and butler service.
