MSC Cruises Set to Launch MSC Euribia in Copenhagen Next Month

MSC Cruises is less than one month away from officially launching MSC Euribia, the cruise line’s most environmentally advanced ship to date and the second LNG-powered ship to join its fleet. 

To celebrate the launch, MSC Cruises will host an official naming ceremony and gala in Copenhagen, Denmark on June 8, 2023. Copenhagen was chosen as the ship’s launch location for its rich maritime heritage and the city’s dedication to sustainability.

Danish TV host Sarah Grünewald will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the christening. Following, the cruise line will host a gala dinner with live entertainment from French DJ and record producer, Bob Sinclar.
