MSC Cruises shared photos of the refurbished MSC Magnifica passing through the Panama Canal during her 2026 World Cruise.
The canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and guests on board got to see it up close, along with nearby rainforests and wildlife.
The ship has been updated with a new MSC Yacht Club, a refreshed MSC Aurea Spa, a gym, and new restaurants like Butcher’s Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar.
