MSC Cruises’ MSC Bellissima has won the “Asia Best Cruise Ship Award” for the second consecutive year. The accolade was made at the 10^th Asia Cruise Forum held in Jeju, South Korea.

MSC Cruises said in a press release that the ship’s deployment has increased in Japan, China, and South Korea since the company resumed international voyages in the region in 2023, with year-round sailings that have benefited the Asian tourism sector.

Oliviero Morelli, president of Japan, Korea and South-East Asia at MSC Cruises, collected the award and said: “The MSC Bellissima has established herself as a point of excellence in the Asian market, earning recognition from both guests and the travel community.”

“This wonderful and consecutive award is a testament to the ship’s world-class personalized guest service and exceptionally high-scoring customer feedback,” added Morelli.

“We would like to thank Young Hun Oh, governor of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, the travel agency community, relevant authorities and, of course, our guests who have enjoyed wonderful holidays at sea.”

The 5,655-guest MSC Bellissima will maintain its presence in Asia with future regular sailings in Japan, China and South Korea and has planned enhancements to enhance guest comfort and entertainment.
