I was invited to travel on the inaugural cruise of the MSC Armonia after she left dry dock in November 2014 having been sliced in half and a new mid-section added. On this page you will find my articles, reviews, video and podcasts about the “Renaissance Program” by MSC Cruises to totally revamp their smaller ships: Armonia, Sinfonia, Opera and Lirica.
