In a time-honoured maritime tradition, a ceremony was held recently at the STX Europe shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, during which two commemorative coins were welded to MSC Divina’s keel to mark a significant construction milestone.

This new vessel will be the third of MSC Cruises, following the MSC Splendida and MSC Fantasia, and will be christened in Marseille, France’s largest port and the third largest in Europe, in 2012.

Measuring 333.3m in length and 38m in beam, MSC Divina will have a total of 1739 cabins and will be able to travel at speeds of up 23.7 knots, carrying almost 4,000 passengers.
