Latest pictures of planned MSC Cruises new builds for 2017 and 2019

Here are the latest advance images of two MSC ships being designed for construction at the STX yard in France. The vessels, due to be dlivered in 2017 and 2019, will each have 2,550 guest cabins – accommodating up to 5,700 passengers at maximum capacity – and  a further 820 cabins for 1,536 members of crew. The ships, as yet un-named, will have 12 restaurants, three venues for evening entertainment, and an extended Yacht Club for suite guests. The ships will measure about 167,600 gross tons, be 315 m long, and 43 m wide, they will be just larger than, for example, Norwegian Epic.
