Built in France at a cost of € 270 million, the 59,058 ton MSC Lirica was delivered to her owners Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) on March 24, 2003 and has proven to be an instant hit during her first summer season on the popular weekly Western Mediterranean run. It was in Barcelona, Spain on a sunny September morning that I was given the opportunity to visit MSC Lirica and see for myself how MSC is doing things differently. MSC Cruises started operations in 16 years ago and has grown to a fleet of four very different ships, ranging from the vintage 1952-built MSC Monterey to the very popular MSC Melody. Crowning the MSC fleet will be MSC Opera, a near-sister of MSC Lirica, entering service in the Mediterranean very soon.
