MSC Meraviglia
Valletta , Malta

Christened by actress Sophia Loren on its launch, the MSC Meraviglia is high on glamour – and its name means ‘wonder’ in Italian. With Swarovski crystal-clad staircases and a glittering central atrium, it truly dazzles. At its heart is the two deck-high indoor promenade, Galleria Meraviglia. It has the look and feel of an elegant shopping arcade in a beautiful European city, and is topped with a 480 sqm LED dome featuring stained glass in a romantic Art Nouveau style. In the evening it bustles with parties, live music events and a variety of entertainments.

In the cabins, which include duplex suites and a Grande Suite with private whirlpool bath, the meeting of classic and contemporary luxury continues, with a muted palette of wood finishes and pale walls given depth with the addition of rich orange and ruby highlight pieces and upholstery. In the bathrooms GROHE fittings were chosen for both their water efficiency and for their delivery of ergonomic comfort, with products specified including GROHE Eurosmart Cosmopolitan basin mixers and Tempesta shower systems.
