Quick Answer: MSC Euribia (184,011 GT, 4,828 double / 6,327 max, ~1,711 crew, delivered 2023) is the third Meraviglia-Plus ship — MSC's second LNG-powered vessel — sisters with MSC Grandiosa and MSC Virtuosa. Signature features include the 82-metre Himalayan Bridge on Deck 19, the Galleria Euribia LED-sky promenade, a 959-seat Delphi Theatre, four main dining rooms, and the MSC Yacht Club ship-within-a-ship enclave. Named after the Greek sea goddess Eurybia and christened by Sophia Loren in Copenhagen. Her 2026 Middle East winter season was cancelled due to regional conflict; she is repositioning to Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.

Who She's For: Families and entertainment lovers drawn to MSC's newest Meraviglia-Plus hardware with an environmental angle — LNG propulsion, bio-LNG demonstration heritage, and the Cádiz LNG-bunkering milestone. Strong pick for travellers wanting Norwegian Fjord or Baltic itineraries from Kiel and Copenhagen once her 2026 European season restarts. The 82-metre Himalayan Bridge and Ocean Cay Aquapark on Deck 19 appeal to active families; the four MDRs and Kaito trio (Sushi Bar, Teppanyaki, Robatayaki) give dining rotation through a full week. Not for guests expecting Cirque du Soleil at Sea (Euribia does not carry it) or Butcher's Cut (the steakhouse role here is filled by Le Grill).

MSC Euribia shares the Meraviglia-Plus platform with MSC Grandiosa (2019) and MSC Virtuosa (2021). Euribia's hull carries a distinctive painted ocean-themed artwork that wraps both sides of the ship and references the marine environment. Dining rotates across four main dining rooms (Aurora Boreale and Aurora Borealis on Deck 6, Colorado River on Deck 6, and Green Orchid on Deck 5), with Il Campo as a fifth main restaurant on Deck 7, plus the Marketplace Buffet on Deck 15 and specialty venues Le Grill, the Kaito trio (Sushi Bar, Teppanyaki, Robatayaki), and Hola! Tacos & Cantina. The signature Galleria Euribia promenade on Decks 6-7 is topped by an LED sky ceiling; the 959-seat Delphi Theatre handles production shows; the Himalayan Bridge and Ocean Cay Aquapark occupy Deck 19. MSC Euribia is not part of the World class — that is only MSC World Europa (2022) and MSC World America (2025).

Which ships are in the same class as MSC Euribia?

MSC Euribia is the third ship of the Meraviglia-Plus sub-class, together with MSC Grandiosa (delivered 2019) and MSC Virtuosa (delivered 2021). All three were built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint-Nazaire. The base Meraviglia class is MSC Meraviglia (2017) and MSC Bellissima (2019). MSC Euribia is not part of the World class — that is only MSC World Europa (2022) and MSC World America (2025), and they are a larger separate hull.

Is MSC Euribia LNG-powered?

Yes. MSC Euribia is LNG (liquefied natural gas) powered and is the second LNG ship in the MSC fleet, after MSC World Europa which entered service in November 2022. She was the first cruise ship to bunker LNG at the Spanish port of Cádiz, and she operated a bio-LNG net-zero demonstration cruise from Saint-Nazaire to Copenhagen in June 2023 as MSC's first attempt at a net-zero greenhouse-gas cruise voyage. Her name comes from the Greek sea goddess Eurybia, chosen to reflect MSC's environmental focus.

Where does MSC Euribia sail in 2026?

MSC Euribia's 2026 schedule was significantly disrupted. She was operating a winter 2025-26 Arabian Gulf season from Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi — her first Middle East deployment — but MSC cancelled the planned 2026-27 Middle East winter season due to regional conflict. Her 2 May 2026 European season-opening departure from Kiel was also cancelled. She was scheduled to reposition from Dubai to Northern Europe as a passenger-free crossing in April 2026, with a rescheduled Northern Europe programme (Norwegian Fjords from Kiel and Copenhagen) and a Mediterranean deployment from October 2026 onwards. Check the live tracker above for her current position.

Who christened MSC Euribia, and does she have Cirque du Soleil?

MSC Euribia was christened on 8 June 2023 in Copenhagen by Sophia Loren — her 19th MSC ship naming as MSC Cruises' long-standing godmother. The ceremony was hosted by Danish model Sarah Grünewald and featured the Royal Danish Ballet and Tony Hadley. MSC Euribia does not carry Cirque du Soleil at Sea — that programme is only on MSC Meraviglia, Bellissima, Grandiosa, and Virtuosa. Euribia's entertainment is produced in-house in the 959-seat Delphi Theatre. She is registered in Valletta, Malta and carries IMO 9901544.
