Apr 8, MSC Launches Newest Ship - Poesia

MSC CRUISES launched its newest ship, the Poesia, this weekend in Dover, U.K., after Sophia Loren named the vessel, making her a five-time MSC ship godmother. Aker Yards in St. Nazaire, France, handed the vessel over to MSC last week, and the ship was then christened in Dover, MSC's first ship naming outside of its Italian homeland. The third in the Musica class of ships, the 93,300-ton Poesia departed on its maiden 14-day cruise Sunday, calling in Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Croatia.
