Geneva, Switzerland – March 20, 2025 – MSC Virtuosa is set to have brand-new entertainment offerings this summer, with new concepts added to its already impressive lineup - all while sailing to breathtaking destinations like the Norwegian Fjords, the Northern Pearls cities, the Canary Islands, and the Atlantic coast of Europe from the ship’s homeport in Southampton, UK.
The headline act to the new lineup is “Dirty Dancing: In Concert” – a live-to-film concert experience that takes the beloved Lionsgate film to another level, combining a live band, sensational singers, and talented dancers, bringing the screening of the iconic movie to life.
Debuting on July 10, 2025, just in time for European summer vacations, MSC Virtuosa will be the only place in the region to see the live-to-film concert at sea and will join MSC Cruises’ recently announced introduction of the live-to-film concert in the Caribbean aboard MSC World America.
Guests will have multiple chances to enjoy “Dirty Dancing: In Concert” during each sailing, including a matinee on sea days. The 90-minute live-to-film concert features a full band, talented singers and dancers performing in sync with the iconic movie. The experience culminates in a high-energy finale, where guests will be invited to join the celebration and sing along at a “Dirty Dancing: In Concert”-themed afterparty that will keep the excitement going long into the night.
In addition to “Dirty Dancing: In Concert,” guests can expect two captivating shows in the main theatre: “Songbook Abba,” featuring the greatest hits of the global phenomenon ABBA, brought to life by an incredible theater cast, and “Starwalker,” highlighting the classic music of the legendary Michael Jackson with iconic songs and unforgettable dance moves performed 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.”
