MSC Cruises Cirque du Soleil Video Preview – Cruise Maven

MSC Cruises gives a peek behind the technical curtain of their new partnership with Cirque du Soleil. This is the first time that Cirque takes to the high seas, on a stage that was created specially for their breathtaking performances.   Two distinct performances are currently on board MSC Meraviglia, each offering a very different experience for viewers.

The Backstory

For this unique partnership with Cirque du Soleil a total of eight original shows were created for MSC Cruises.  The partnership began back in 2013 and MSC Cruises worked with Cirque du Soleil to design and build a $20 million+ purpose-built entertainment lounge, the Carousel Lounge, designed to meet the very special needs of the Cirque du Soleil performers.

Since June this year, MSC Meraviglia has offered two completely contrasting shows so guests can experience two Cirque du Soleil shows in one cruise.

Six nights per week, Cirque du Soleil’s outstanding artists deliver two different and unique shows – created exclusively for MSC Cruises – in front of audiences of 450 guests.
