“The success of our ships,� says Emilio La Scala, general manager, MSC Cruises Technical Department, “is proof of the intense work effort that the Technical Department has invested in conjunction with the technical staff at Aker Yards and with our architectural studio. All possible innovations have been implemented to ensure that our guests are offered the best in terms of facilities and comfort.

“After four years of working closely together we can say that this has been a very satisfactory collaboration,� La Scala says. “In a short span of time, three different classes of ships have been constructed (Lirica, Musica and Fantasia). Four new ships have been launched from 2003 to 2007. At the same time, another four ships (representing two different classes) are under construction. This is an imposing progression that will see eight new ships in the fleet by 2010. The technical input has been ongoing, always seeking to improve on the last achievement. We have worked to tight schedules and delivered on time with one clear objective – the continual improvement of the fleet.�

“We have built six cruise ships for MSC and we still have four ships to deliver. This symbolizes not only the success of MSC Cruises but also the strong relationship between Aker Yards and MSC Cruises,” says Hardelay.
