The MS MSC Opera is a cruise ship built in 2004 and currently operated by MSC Cruises. She served as the flagship of the company until MSC Musica entered service in 2006. She can accommodate 2,055 passengers in 856 cabins. Her crew complement is approximately 740.
On Saturday 14th May 2011, MSC Opera suffered engine failure in the Baltic Sea. [1] Around 1700 passengers were to be flown home from Stockholm. The ship was without power after the engine failure on Saturday and internet reports say bathrooms were inoperable, causing poor hygiene. Passengers were given a voucher to cover the cost of the cruise.
