MSC Virtuosa will introduce exciting new entertainment options this summer while sailing to destinations including the Norwegian Fjords, Northern Pearls cities, Canary Islands, and the Atlantic coast of Europe from its homeport in Southampton, UK.
The highlight of the entertainment lineup is “Dirty Dancing: In Concert,” a live-to-film concert that brings the Lionsgate film to life with a full band, singers, and dancers. Launching on July 10, 2025, it will be the only live-to-film concert at sea in the region, alongside MSC Cruises’ upcoming presentation in the Caribbean on MSC World America.
Additionally, the main theatre will host two other exciting shows: “Songbook Abba,” featuring classic ABBA hits, and “Starwalker,” celebrating the music of Michael Jackson with unforgettable performances by a talented cast.
Steve Leatham, Vice President of Entertainment at MSC Cruises, said: “Providing an impressive array of spectacular entertainment options for every type of guest around the clock is key to creating an unforgettable cruise experience. MSC Virtuosa is an incredible platform for pushing the boundaries of entertainment at sea. We’re thrilled to introduce brand-new daytime and evening headline events that will leave our guests in awe. We’re particularly excited about the premiere of ‘Dirty Dancing: In Concert’, ‘Hall of Fame’ and our newest Carousel Productions Cirque shows, which will both debut this summer in the Theatre.”
