Quick Answer: MSC Divina (139,072 GT, 3,502 double / 4,202 max, 1,388 crew, delivered 2012) is a Fantasia Class ship — christened by Sophia Loren in Marseille — carrying the MSC Yacht Club enclave on Decks 15-18, the Pantheon Theatre, the MSC Aurea Spa, and an Italian-themed dining programme across two MDRs (The Black Crab and Villa Rossa). She splits 2026 between Civitavecchia (Rome) for summer Eastern Mediterranean cruises and Miami for winter Caribbean and Bahamas round-trips.
Who She's For: Travellers who want classical Italian cruise styling — atriums, crystal, marble, and traditional multi-deck show lounges — rather than the high-tech LED-dome promenade feel of MSC's newer ships. Strong pick for Miami-based Caribbean cruisers who prefer a mid-sized ship over megaships, for European cruisers wanting a Civitavecchia departure in summer 2026, and for guests drawn to the MSC Yacht Club ship-within-a-ship enclave with butler service. Less of a fit for guests expecting the newest hardware (see the Meraviglia, Seaside EVO, or World class), elaborate waterpark rigs, or Broadway-scale production shows.
MSC Divina is the third of four Fantasia Class ships, built at Saint-Nazaire by STX France (yard now operating under the historic Chantiers de l'Atlantique name). Sister ships are MSC Fantasia, MSC Splendida, and MSC Preziosa. Divina's design leans into classical ocean-liner styling: a multi-deck atrium at Piazza del Doge, the Pantheon Theatre, a Casinò Veneziano, Galleria d'Arte, and the Sky & Stars Library on the upper sports deck. Dining is organised around two main dining rooms (The Black Crab and the panoramic Villa Rossa on Deck 6), with specialty venues Butcher's Cut, Galaxy Restaurant, and La Cantina di Bacco on Deck 7. The MSC Yacht Club occupies the forward top decks with Le Muse Restaurant, the Top Sail Lounge, and the Deck 18 One Bar, One Pool, and private solarium.

Which ships are in the same class as MSC Divina?
MSC Divina is one of four Fantasia Class ships together with MSC Fantasia (2008), MSC Splendida (2009), and MSC Preziosa (2013). The class was built by STX France at Saint-Nazaire (the yard now operates under its historic name, Chantiers de l'Atlantique). Divina and Preziosa are sometimes described as a modified or stretched sub-group, but MSC and Cruise Industry News treat all four ships as a single Fantasia class.
Where does MSC Divina sail in 2026-2027?
MSC Divina operates a split season in 2026. From 24 April 2026 she is based in Civitavecchia (Rome) for 7-night Eastern Mediterranean itineraries calling at Naples, Mykonos, Kuşadası (Ephesus), Marmaris, and Syros, continuing through October. In November 2026 she repositions back to Miami for Caribbean and Bahamas round-trips through spring 2027. Check the live tracker above for her current position and next port.
How big is MSC Divina compared to the rest of the MSC fleet?
At 139,072 gross tons and 333.33 metres long, MSC Divina is a mid-to-large MSC ship — larger than the Lirica or Musica class but smaller than the Meraviglia, World, or Seaside EVO ships. She carries 3,502 guests at double occupancy (4,202 maximum) across 1,751 cabins with a crew of 1,388. Fantasia Class ships predate MSC's later indoor-promenade designs and use a more traditional multi-deck atrium layout centred on Piazza del Doge.
Who christened MSC Divina?
MSC Divina was christened on 26 May 2012 in Marseille by Sophia Loren. Loren is MSC Cruises' long-standing godmother and has christened multiple MSC ships across the fleet. Divina was laid down as "MSC Fantastica" and renamed during construction. She is registered in Panama (Colón) and carries IMO number 9585285.
