Live jazz in the Manhattan Bar and a Lego Experience for the children set the tone aboard MSC Sinfonia, an MSC Cruises ship whose evenings run on live music and whose sea days are planned around families. From April to June she sails long round-trips of the Western Mediterranean from ports in Spain, France and Italy, with shorter Mediterranean voyages either side. In November she heads to Durban for sailings to Mozambique. Pools, mini golf and a spa with a sauna and salt room fill the days between.

Evenings on MSC Sinfonia run on live music. The Manhattan Bar is her New York corner, with glittering lights, live jazz and signature cocktails, and the natural place to start a night. The Main Theater stages a new production every evening with international singers, dancers and acrobats; the shows are included in the fare, but popular ones fill up, so it pays to reserve a seat. Afterwards the Pasha Club Disco Bar keeps a DJ and a dance floor going into the early hours. Entry to her bars is free, and drinks are charged as you order.
From April to June she runs 10-night round-trips of the Western Mediterranean, starting and ending in Alicante, Málaga, Genoa or Marseille. Calls change from one departure to the next, but Lisbon, Cádiz, Casablanca and Port Mahon in Menorca are typical of what you might see. You will find these voyages among our all-inclusive Mediterranean cruises for 2027.
Around that season she also sails shorter Mediterranean voyages: 7-night round-trips from Marseille in March, April and November, 6- and 7-night round-trips from Valencia, and 5- and 6-night one-way sailings from Valencia to Civitavecchia for Rome, or to Málaga. Ports vary, but Livorno for Florence, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca are among them.
In November she sails Southern Africa from Durban, on 3- and 4-night round-trips to Mozambique, with Maputo, Pomene National Reserve and Ilha dos Portugueses among the typical stops. We book the flights, a night or two in Durban and the transfers with the cruise, so the sailing is part of a longer holiday, just as we put the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers on one booking for her European departures.
Among her sister ships are MSC Opera, MSC Lirica and MSC Armonia. You can find the rest of the line on our MSC Cruises page.
Children are well looked after on MSC Sinfonia, with supervised kids and teens clubs, included in the fare, running activities for every age from infants to 17. The Lego Experience is the one they will ask for: dedicated play areas for building and themed adventures, free to enter, with Lego souvenir sets sold in the shop. Mini golf with sea views is free for everyone, an easy round for the whole family between swims in her pools and whirlpools. Our family cruises with MSC search shows sailings to plan a trip with the children around.
Her ocean-view cabins sleep up to four, so a family can share one, and MSC Aurea Experience guests have a private sun deck with a whirlpool. Our MSC Sinfonia cabins and deck plans page shows which of her cabins take four.
Cruise1st can book any of MSC Sinfonia’s sailings, whether in the Mediterranean or from Durban. Our Best Price Guarantee applies. Read guest reviews of MSC Sinfonia, or open our Mediterranean cruise deals and offers to see her departures alongside the region’s other sailings.
