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 MSC's own technical sheet dated August 2025. The line publishes only the maximum passenger count, so the lower-berth figure here is cabins times two.
MSC Sinfonia, to scale
MSC Sinfonia is 274.9 m long (902 ft): 2.5 American football fields end to end, and 6 m longer than the Titanic.
