Another successful project of the CRIST shipyard. On Tuesday, a fully equipped part of a cruise ship set off for France. The so-called megablok and transported bow sections are intended for the second Meraviglia-Plus passenger ship for the MSC Cruises operator. It will be named MSC Virtuosa. The unit will be commissioned in 2020. It will take 6,300 passengers on board.
