MSC Virtuosa is named after the word "Virtuosa", which means "master" in Chinese, meaning someone with superb skills in a professional field. This name is a tribute to the designers and architects and partners of Atlantis Shipyard. MSC Virtuosa is one of the two larger ships in MSC Cruises' fleet, and like her sister ship MSC Grandiosa, both are ships that allow passengers to experience a rich and exciting cruise vacation.
