What there is aboard
Counted from the line’s own figures. A blank is a figure we do not have, never a zero.

Space ratio is gross tons per lower-berth passenger; higher is roomier. Guests per crew member: lower is more attentive. Places to eat excludes bars. From the line's published specifications dated March 2026. The line publishes only the maximum passenger count, so the lower-berth figure here is cabins times two.
MSC Fantasia, to scale
MSC Fantasia is 333.1 m long (1,093 ft): 3 American football fields end to end, and 64 m longer than the Titanic.
