MSC Fantasia

Catch live events or take on the video games at this themed lounge bar on Deck 7, Sublime. It is a proper pit stop for following the action, whether you are a devoted fan or simply there for the atmosphere.

American finger food, international snacks, cocktails and beers are on hand. Try grilled Yorkshire ham or a Greek kebab with shrimp, then settle in for the next big moment.

Il Cappuccino is your handy Deck 7 coffee bar, ideal for a proper pause between shipboard plans. Settle in with a cappuccino or American coffee, with complimentary cookies and pastries alongside.

Fancy swapping the caffeine for something with more evening credentials? An Espresso Martini is on the menu too. With seating for 58, it is a useful spot to catch your breath before carrying on.

Part Italian square, part very civilised pause button, Piazza San Giorgio brings a real stone piazza atmosphere to Deck 6, Magnifico. Settle in with an espresso and freshly baked pastry, then let the live music do the rest.

Authentic gelati are on hand too, making this a fine spot for a sweet treat and a proper sit-down between shipboard plans.

For MSC Yacht Club guests, The One Bar is your poolside stop on Deck 18, beside The One Pool at the ship's forward end. Settle into a seat near the water with a signature cocktail, classic Daiquiri, Piña Colada, beer, soft drink or hot drink.

Fancy something off menu? Ask the bartenders to make you something different. Eligible drinks are included with the Yacht Club Premium Extra Drink package, subject to its terms and onboard availability.

Fantasia Bar is your handy Deck 5 stop for a drink in the ship’s main foyer, close to reception and guest services. With 129 seats, there is room to settle in, watch the atrium comings and goings, and plan the next excellent use of your time.

Choose from cocktails, wine, beer, soft drinks or coffee, then let the holiday unfold around you. It is a sensible meeting point too, particularly when your party has developed several different ideas about what happens next.

On Deck 15 at the front of the ship, Top Sail Lounge is the MSC Yacht Club's panoramic retreat, with a grand piano, elegant seating and sea views that do rather steal the show.

You can call in around the clock for craft cocktails, fine wine, coffee or gourmet finger food, with afternoon tea and live music in the evening. Access is exclusively for Yacht Club guests, so pack smart casual for the night.

I Tropici is your poolside stop on Deck 14, beside the covered pool and its sliding glass roof. Order a hot or cold drink, fruit juice or cocktail, then settle in while the weather gets on with being unpredictable.

With whirlpool baths nearby, it is an easy place to pause between swims. The pool is included, while bar drinks are chargeable unless your MSC drinks package covers them.

Liquid Disco is MSC Fantasia’s panoramic disco and bar, made for evenings when sitting still feels a bit too sensible. On Deck 16, Aurora, you can take to the dance floor or join a dancing lesson.

A full bar serves drinks and cocktails for a charge, while the 136 seat venue gives you space to settle in between songs. It is nightlife, not dinner, so eat first and save your energy for the dance floor.

Gaudì Bar is the inviting aft pool bar on Deck 15, with modern décor and views across the pool area. Settle in between swims or sunny spells, with cocktails, wine, beer and soft drinks on hand.

You will find it beside the Lido Catalano pool area, so it is a handy stop when your lounger requires refreshments.

Start with dinner in a bright, retro-chic setting inspired by 1950s supper clubs, complete with pink seating and panoramic sea-facing windows.

At 11 p.m., Galaxy Lounge swaps restaurant mode for nightclub mode. Settle in for salsa, reggaeton and 1970s disco, with music videos on the big screen. Dinner first, dancing later, very civilised.

Pool time has a thirsty sidekick. Bar delle Fontane is the outdoor Aqua Park bar on Deck 14, Miraggio, where you can pick up cocktails, wine, beer or soft drinks without wandering far from the water.

It also serves ice cream, ideal when the sun is doing its thing. With seating for 97 guests, it is a handy spot to pause, cool off and watch the pool-deck action unfold.

Tucked into the Deck 14 wellbeing area, Aurea SPA Bar is a modern spot with comfortable seating and a stylish atmosphere. Pop in for a drink before or after time in the spa, then let the post-treatment glow do the talking.

You will find it alongside the thermal area, gym and massage rooms. The spa area is for guests aged over 18, so this is firmly grown-up downtime.

L’Insolito Lounge on Deck 7 is your after-dark spot for music, shows and a turn on the dance floor. Settle in with a drink from the full bar, then see where the evening takes you.

With room for around 232 guests, it has also hosted bingo and trivia. Entertainment is included, while drinks are payable unless your beverage package covers them.

The ship's impeccable Piano and Martini Bar, Il Transatlantico, can be found on deck seven and seats 108 guests.

This elegant smokers' room is also a whiskey bar and can be found on deck six. This intimate venue seating 31 guests have some great cigars on sale that goes perfectly with your favourite fine spirits drink.
