Detailed answer

MSC Euribia was built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint-Nazaire in France and entered service in June 2023. MSC gives it a gross tonnage of 184,011, a length of 331 metres, 6,327 guests and a crew of 1,711. It runs on liquefied natural gas and carries the #SaveTheSea artwork on its hull. On board are the Galleria Euribia with its long LED dome, a waterpark, four pools, ten dining venues and the MSC Yacht Club, a premium area with its own pool and butler service. The ship is aimed largely at families.

How busy will town be?

The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.

Can you sail on it from nearby?

From late October 2026 to early April 2027 MSC Euribia is listed on weekly seven-night round trips from Barcelona in the western Mediterranean. Check current dates with MSC Cruises.
