With its opulent exterior and dazzling staircases adorned with Swarovski jewels, this brand-new cruise ship is the newest beast from MSC Cruises. You can’t walk down it without stopping to take a selfie.

Admire the Infinity Atrium of MSC Euribia 

Bask in the sun by the swimming pool.It is nearly as tall as Big Ben, longer than three football fields, and can accommodate an incredible 6,334 passengers.Because the ship is leaving from the UK this winter, we Brits are fortunate to have first choice on the vessel.The name MSC Euribia comes from the Greek goddess of sea mastery (who knew there was such a goddess!). On its inaugural voyage, the ship became the first to be powered by cow dung.The trip from France to Copenhagen lasted only three nights, and since it was very expensive and our cow friends didn’t seem to be producing enough manure for longer cruises, it won’t happen again anytime soon.MSC Group CEO Pierfrancesco Vago jokes, “We need more cows.”Like me, he’s living it up at the top of the ship in the Yacht Club, a gated community with opulent suites, butlers, complimentary drinks, a private sun deck and pool, as well as a special restaurant and lounge.Aside from private areas, this ship is meant to be enjoyable for all passengers.Kids’ and teen clubs feature Lego and Nintendo, virtual reality games where you can shoot aliens and travel through space, racing car simulators, three swimming pools, and a bowling alley.
