MSC Receives High Ratings from the 2010 Berlitz Guide

MSC Cruises received high ratings in the latest 25th anniversary edition of the internationally acclaimed Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising and Cruise ships by world shipping guru, Douglas Ward.

All nine of MSC Cruises’ luxury cruise liners listed in the “large resort ship” category were given an excellent rating of four out of a possible five, while the 10th ship in the company’s fleet, MSC Melody, rates an above average of three in the “mid-size ship” category.

MSC Cruises’ ships were recognized as the “cleanest” of all major cruise liners and obtained accolades for its recycling efforts.

The food review section compliments MSC Cruises for the introduction of the Italian “slow food” concept, specialty restaurants on its newest ships and for providing better-quality ingredients than some other major cruise lines.

Aurea Spa on MSC Fantasia made the list as one of the 10 excellent shipboard spas in the world. Mention for the Italian influences evident in the interior décor and the high quality, fit and finish of materials used, was also noteworthy.

Considered to be one of the most authoritative books on cruising in the travel industry, the 2010 edition of the “Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships” reviews 271 ships representing some 75 ocean-going cruise line operators.
