In December 2013, MSC Cruises announced a renovation project for four LIRICA class ships.
One of the world's largest shipbuilding companies, FINCANTIERI, took part in the program, which lasted for 2 years. The project took 2 years and started in 2015. As a result, on the liners MSC Armonia, MSC Lirica, MSC Sinfonia and MSC Opera, new entertainment complex facilities, play areas for children for five age groups (including very young ones up to 3 years old), technological innovations, increased store areas and Spa center, almost 200 new cabins were built on each ship (193 cabins for passengers and 59 cabins for crew).
Absolutely all cabins are completely updated and decorated, they have new beds and LCD TVs. In many areas of the ship, new carpeting has been laid, walls and ceilings have been repainted and re-decorated, and furniture has been replaced.
In addition, each ship is equipped with a water spray park for children. Larger stores can already boast of new interiors, and the perfume department now has corners dedicated to the world's leading brands, including Dior, Lancome and Dolce & Gabbana.
