The MSC Armonia is a 13 deck cruise ship which is an identical sister ship of the MSC Sinfonia, MSC Opera (with which many South Africans will be familiar) and the MSC Lirica. The Italian name literally translates to 'harmony' which is exactly the atmosphere that has been created on the luxury cruise liner.

Lego-themed Playrooms

When the new longer Armonia returned from the dry dock on the 19th November 2014, she had been fitted with MSC Cruises' first lego-themed kiddies playroom. The Mini Club (3 to 6 years) and the Junior Club (7 to 11 years) were set up lego-brick-style.

Reviews of the MSC Armonia

14 Nov 2013 Lovely video made by 2 cruise consultants, Richard & Lee, of an MSC Armonia cruise from Venice to Tenerife:

September 2011, a family booked a cruise with MSC Armonia and thought "the ship was lovely, many nice places to sit in quiet if needed. Nicely decorated. We could not fault it."

A couple in their mid forties sailed on the MSC Armonia in November 2009. They were particularly happy with the service of the staff, "all our experiences with staff at all levels was nothing but good with happy smiles everywhere we ventured and all queries and requests dealt with without us feeling in the least bit as though we were just bothersome creatures interfering the the efficient running of the ship."

Entertainment on the MSC Armonia

The La Gondola Theatre on the Armonia is two decks high on the forward part of the ship.

Live entertainment shows are offered nightly on board the MSC Armonia. Each show usually has a different theme every night and the acts in the show fit accordingly. Passengers do not know what the shows will entail beforehand and therefore they can be quite a surprise as to what you can expect. Below is a video showing a waitress singing 'When you Believe':
