Family cruising with MSC Bellissima

Celine Rooney on 15 March 2022
I was very lucky to be able to experience a beauty at sea onboard MSC’s ship Bellissima.

She is one of the latest in the Meragavilia class ships for MSC and boy does she give meaning to her name, Beautiful.

This ship has something for everyone but is especially for families. Kids club’s range from babies to teens and MSC have partnered up with Lego which is a huge hit with all ages. There are so many activities to choose from including bowling, a multi-sports court, four pools and my personal favourite, the Arizona Aquapark. There is also a high wire for those brave enough to take on the heights. Also, for the Formula One fans, MSC Bellissima has two virtual simulators for you to enjoy. The Bellissima offers so much entertainment with so much to do throughout your cruise duration.

After all the entertainment, you are sure to build up a hunger and the Bellissima does not disappoint. With a choice of 12 dining venues and 20 bars to choose from. You can experience Michelin Star food by the renowned Spanish chef Ramon Freixa, or experience the wonderful Kaito Teppanyaki restaurant and sushi bar, where you can enjoy the food freshly prepared right in front of you.

Chocolate lovers are in for a massive treat with Jean Phillipe Maury chocolate café where you can customize your own chocolate bar…. Yummy! And if that isn’t enough, Chef Maury is also the creator of gourmet ice cream parlour and creperie on the promenade.

The Central Promenade is the heart of the ship, where you will find, boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. I recommend grabbing a coffee or tea and look up, where you will see the entire ceiling covered by a giant LED screen. Transmitting digital skies, from sunrises, sunsets, and starry nights.

The Promenade also comes to life at night, with music, parties, and entertainment. Speaking of entertainment, I thought that Cirque du soleil at Sea was fantastic and all the evening entertainment was top class. I didn’t get a lot of time to visit the Aurea Spa, but they have plenty of relaxing treatments to revitalise your body and soul. The Beauty Salon and nail bar I did visit, and it was such a lovely experience, you feel pampered and ready to party.

MSC Bellissima is an amazing ship, and I can highly recommend it.
