In response to high demand, the Guinness World Record® activities program will be extended across the entire fleet, giving more families the opportunity to break records or participate in exciting competitions onboard.

Matteo Mancini, Family Entertainment Development Director at MSC Cruises, emphasizes the company's focus: "As a family-owned company, we deeply understand the needs of families on vacation. Our established 'Doremiland' program, with its tailored offerings, dedicated areas, and diverse activities like game shows, cinema, and water parks, forms the foundation. For the upcoming summer, we are intensifying our commitment by merging technology with captivating activities to create unforgettable moments. Guests can look forward to more interactive game formats, an expanded sports offering, additional parties, and a revised program for teenagers. Regardless of the destination, we guarantee boundless fun onboard."
