MSC Musica: A journey of relaxation and adventure on the open seas

Embarking on a seamless experience

The journey began at the bustling port of Durban, where MSC Musica awaited with open arms. After a smooth embarkation process, I found myself on a ship that mixed luxury with a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The ship is like a floating paradise, offering everything you could need for a relaxing cruise—beautiful lounges, expansive decks, and plenty of entertainment options.

Once aboard, I was immediately impressed by the Mediterranean-inspired design, from the bright colours to the stylish furnishings. Whether you’re lounging on the pool deck soaking up the sun or enjoying a drink at one of the bars, MSC Musica makes it easy to unwind and enjoy the moment.

The layout and design of the ship are perfect for both socialising and finding quiet spaces to relax.

A taste of the good life on board

MSC Musica is known for its food, and I had the chance to enjoy some great meals during the cruise. From casual bites to more formal dining, the ship's restaurants offer a wide variety of dishes. I particularly enjoyed the buffet, where there was a mix of flavours, making it easy to find something that suited my tastes.

The dining experience was more than just about the food—it was also about the atmosphere. The dining rooms have a comfortable yet elegant vibe, and the staff are friendly and attentive. For a bit of extra fun, MSC Musica also hosts themed nights, adding a creative touch to dinner and making every meal feel a little different.

Breathtaking moments in Mozambique

The highlight of the trip was our stop in Mozambique, where the crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches provided the perfect backdrop for a day of relaxation and exploration. We visited a private island owned by MSC Cruises, a beautiful place where you can snorkel, swim, chill on the beach, or join in on some of the activities provided by the ship's team.

The island was peaceful, the kind of place where you can unwind. Whether you’re exploring the water, walking along the shore, or enjoying a drink by the beach, the experience is something you won’t forget. The clear waters and gentle waves made it easy to lose track of time and just enjoy the beauty around you.

Unwind and recharge aboard MSC Musica

Back on board, there were plenty of ways to relax and recharge - whether enjoying the fresh air on deck, indulging in some wellness treatments, or taking in one of the fantastic shows.

The room I stayed in also offered a fantastic space to relax, especially with the balcony that allowed me to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and stunning views right from my own private chamber. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of activities and watch the waves roll by.

For anyone looking for more activity, the ship also has a well-equipped fitness centre and plenty of opportunities for fun. There’s always something going on, but there’s also plenty of space to decompress if that’s what you need.

A smooth journey from start to finish

MSC Musica pays attention to the details, making the entire journey smooth and stress-free. From embarkation to disembarkation, everything went without a hitch. The staff were always friendly and made sure we felt taken care of, and the activities, dining, and excursions were all well planned out.
