This is the Only Place You Can See Cirque du Soleil at Sea

This is the Only Place You Can See Cirque du Soleil at Sea

Cirque du Soleil has been charting new entertainment territory since it began and it's changed what we think of as 'circus' shows.

You may have been lucky enough to go to a Cirque du Soleil shows on land.

But there's only one place you can see the innovative, extraordinarily talented Cirque performances at sea.

European-based cruise line MSC has exclusively partnered with the French-Canadian Cirque to provide cruise guests with one-of-a-kind, internationally-renowned entertainment on board.

Cirque du Soleil is creating shows you'll only be able to see on MSC Cruises. A total of 8 original shows are in the works for MSC's four Meraviglia-class ships launching through 2020. You'll want to sail on all four ships as the shows will show the full range of Cirque's imagination with a different concept, ambiance and storyline, original soundtrack, staging and costumes.

The first 2 shows have already launched on the MSC Meraviglia: Sonor and Viaggio. 

Sonor is an auditory adventure, whose unique rhythms, sounds and sensations, bold music and immersive projections sweep dancers, acrobats and characters along to the beat. 

Viaggio is a poetic exploration of color, following the story of an eccentric painter into his imagination.  As he works his art, compelling motifs, textures, and majestic acts bring his canvas to life for a riveted audience. These creative and expressive Cirque du Soleil performances had to be designed specifically to work in the unique, ship-board environment that challenged the creators and performers. They are held on MSC in a venue just as unique as the shows themselves.

The MSC Meraviglia's Carousel Lounge

The multi-million dollar Carousel Lounge is specially designed and built for Cirque du Soleil, and is one of the smallest venues of any Cirque show. That gives just over 400 guests a rare, intimate Cirque du Soleil experience and a feeling of being up-close and even interacting with the performers. The lounge is equipped with cutting edge technology and special rigging and evokes the music, lights, movement and color of the nostalgic carousels of childhood fairs.

Cocktails or Dinner and Cirque du Soleil at Sea

Performances take place 6 days a week. On show nights, guests can enjoy cocktails or dinner before the Cirque performance. It's the first Dinner and a Show experience on the MSC fleet. 

Dining or cocktail experiences are themed to the show, from table settings, costumes, music, visual effects and even surprise, pop-up appearances by performers. And the inventive menus themselves immerse guests in the universe of each show.

Cirque du Soleil at Sea is the icing on top of the incredible MSC Meraviglia cruise experience that includes authentic dining, new panoramic areas, an innovative ocean-view aft lounge, a 2-deck 'inside promenade' with a 5000-square foot LED dome and spectacular amusement area connected to an outdoor water park.
