MSC Melody
The MSC Melody ship is the largest of MSC Italian Cruises' classic fleet. It is custom-designed to meet the highest standards of comfort and style. For example, there are wide open spaces and high ceilings throughout the MSC Melody cruise ship. And the cabins are large as well, all of which feature a TV. A bonus feature of the MSC Melody ship is the retractable transparent dome called the Magradome. The Magradome allows you to swim in the ship's two sparkling pools even on the cloudiest of days.

MSC Melody - Dining
Your MSC Melody Ship offers a great selection of foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even brunch! For example, you can have warm, delicious foods delivered to your stateroom at brunch time. And for lunch, dine on off-the-grill fare by the pool or feast on cheesy pizza from the pizzeria. And then, it's dinnertime.
Dinnertime on the MSC Melody cruise ship is an Italian extravaganza. From being served traditional Italian cuisine like home cooked lasagnas, spaghetti, and different parmesan dishes to being able to drink fine wines and rich desserts, your dinner on the MSC Melody ship promises to be a feast for your senses.
You'll dine on seven-course dinner menu and taste the combustion of flavors and colors in authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Your palate will thoroughly enjoy the perfectly blended garlic, olives, basil, red pepper and tomatoes created from the fantastic Mediterranean recipes. You have a wide selection of wines and rich cappuccinos and espresso drinks. And for dessert, prepare yourself for some of the world's finest pastries, tarts and cakes-the tiramisu is excellent and so are the popular Italian cannolis. And after all of this, there is still a midnight buffet and room service!
