Immersing you in a world of sparkling creativity In 2008, MSC had the unprecedented idea of creating real Swarovski crystal staircases for MSC Fantasia. So began an extraordinary partnership with this world leader in cut-crystal creations, a family-owned company – like ourselves – with an exceptional reputation for innovation and creativity.
An unforgettably glamorous experience
Salient amongst the striking innovations of MSC’s constant quest for elegance are the sweeping Swarovski crystal staircases that have become a hallmark of life aboard our ships, gracing the main atrium and MSC Yacht Club areas. Glamorously elegant and refined, they’re like walking on light among the stars.
Swarovski brings you a dazzling range of opportunities to celebrate your creativity on board, from enhancements to our Ceremony Packages, personalised cabins, embellished photoshoots and dedicated workshops for adults and children, plus pop-up stores and exhibitions. So every guest can sparkle, expressing their creativity in crystal light.
MSC Cruises guests enjoy special benefits from our close partnership with Swarovski. Our boutique jewellery shops feature dedicated Swarovski display areas, each offering a sumptuous selection of sparkling creations, including special collector’s item gifts, all at irresistibly low duty-free prices.
