MSC Cruises on Thursday (8 June) welcomed LNG-fuelled MSC Euribia to its fleet during a Naming Ceremony taking place in Copenhagen.
The vessel is expected to be the most energy-efficient cruise ship design in the world at the time of her launch. During her maiden voyage, MSC Euribia completed a net zero GHG emissions journey from Saint-Nazaire to Copenhagen for her naming ceremony.
The vessel is MSC Cruises’ second vessel powered by LNG, the cleanest marine fuel currently commercially available at scale. On board, she boasts a range of best-in-class environmental technology, including advanced onboard wastewater treatment systems and waste management handling. She has also been designed with the future in mind, allowing her to easily incorporate future innovations in sustainability, such as carbon-neutral synthetic and other alternative fuels as soon as they are available at scale.
Godmother of MSC Cruises’ fleet and globally recognised screen legend Sophia Loren attended the naming ceremony to officially name the ship, continuing her long-standing and close relationship with MSC Cruises.
MSC Euribia will begin sailing in Northern Europe this summer with 7-night sailings from Kiel, Germany and Copenhagen, Denmark to the captivating Norwegian Fjords, including Geiranger, Ålesund, and Flaam.
