MSC Divina Aurea Spa and Fitness Center | MSC Cruises

Whether you’re a die hard spa fan or if you’re looking for a post-workout massage, you absolutely can’t miss the Aurea Spa on MSC Divina . Located on deck 14, Aurea Spa measures a total of 18,299 square feet of pure luxury. There is an abundance of treatment rooms for facials, massages, and treatments, not only for one person, but for couples, too. In addition to the spa, there is a sauna, steam room, thalassotherapy, hair salon, and fitness center.

An interesting and unique addition to the Aurea Spa is the shopping area (just to the right of the picture above) with clothing (workout clothing and soccer jerseys) in addition to spa products as well as a big bar and seating area. Don’t expect a martini or beer here! Instead, you’ll find bottled water, an assortment of teas, and fresh, made to order juices and smoothies. They have a few high end centrifugal juicers where they can juice just about anything to make you a healthy concoction after your workout like carrots, spinach, apples, ginger, etc. The menu is detailed and the the crew is extraordinarily helpful and patient while you peruse the choices.

The fitness center is outfitted with treadmills by Technogym and an assortment of cardio equipment, including free weights. The treadmills are a little different as they have levers on either side, like gear shifts, so when you want to increase/decrease speed or incline, you can nudge the lever in either direction. When you’re running, however, you really don’t want to have to play around with stuff like this and I personally found it tedious. Additionally, I found the treadmills to be less accurate and slower than the LifeFitness treadmill I regularly use and what I find on other cruise lines. Having said that, I was happy that there was a gym and that it was clean, new, and not packed.

I didn’t use any of the machines although there were several people regularly using them. I stuck with the free weights which were in kilograms vs. pounds, but thankfully, they had the conversion amount taped onto the end of each weight. There’s nothing worse than having to do math while working out! These were large free weights, definitely not designed for use by women as they were clunky, but we still found a way to work out. I would have preferred a variety of weights and more than one of each size to allow people to work out at the same time instead of waiting around for the weights.

In addition to the weights and cardio equipment, they also had other Technogym equipment available, Bosu balls, medicine balls, and foam rollers. They also had fresh, clean towels available and plenty of floor space if you wanted to do any floor exercises on your own.

MSC Divina also offers a variety of fitness classes for guests, either for free or for a nominal price. During our cruise they offered Stretching & Abdominals (free), Aqua Cycling ($12), Aerobics ($10), Yoga ($10), Group Cycling/Spinning ($10), and Zumba ($10). The spin class is offered inside the gym alongside the cardio equipment and is situated in front of a large wall with several TV screens.

The yoga class is right next door and is somewhat on the small side. When I walked by to take a peek, I knew I couldn’t do the class only because of how close everyone was. I need a little personal space when working out and this was just a little too close for my liking. However, it’s nice to have a variety of options available for classes while cruising because you might just pick up a new interest in something you might not have tried while at home. If you wanted a more yoga-based break you could look into completing this 500 hour yoga training in india . An opportunity to do yoga somewhere different and maybe learn new skills without the restriction of the ship and its small yoga facilities. However, I know plenty of people who enjoyed the ships facilities. The Zumba classes were quite popular poolside, but it could be that more people were watching than participating.

Although not located inside the Aurea Spa , La Prue Spa is an area on deck 16 aft and is great for a little privacy if you want to sneak away from it all and relax.

Basically, a raised hot tub with an area full of loungers, we were able to lay here undisturbed for some time before other passengers seemed to notice it even existed.

At nearly 5,000 square feet, you might wonder how anyone might miss it, but with 5 pools and 12 hot tubs onboard the MSC Divina and multiple areas to lay out in the sun, it’s easy to understand why this spot could go overlooked. Whether inside or out, you’ll definitely feel pampered in spa luxury on the MSC Divina .

If you’re an active person and worried about gaining weight or not having anything physical to do while on a cruise, I recommend reconsidering. Certainly the MSC Divina has a variety of options from classes to cardio equipment to weights that can aid you in keeping your workout regimen intact so you’ll definitely have the swimsuit body you can be proud of any time of year. Next up will be what else, but pools onboard the MSC Divina .

MSC Cruises

Everything you need to know about MSC Cruises cabins and suites

A relative newcomer in the North American market, MSC Cruises is equal parts elegant and kitschy. The line tends to appeal to a wide swath of cruisers, from Europeans who like to party into the wee hours of the morning to American families who book because of affordable fares and "kids sail free" pricing.

To satisfy its diverse passenger base, MSC offers accommodations to fit all types of travelers. Rooms include inexpensive inside cabins that sleep two people, midlevel staterooms with windows and balconies, and high-end suites that offer cruisers with larger budgets a private oasis in the form of the MSC Yacht Club .

A variety of connecting rooms and cabins with extra bunks accommodate larger groups and families who wish to share space.

Because your cruise cabin will be your home away from home for several days, it's important to book one that fits your needs. That's especially true if you're sharing it with several people.

Whether you're looking at an inside cabin for a cruise with friends, balcony accommodations for you and your significant other or a suite for your family, here TPG breaks down what you can expect when you book a room on one of MSC's ships.

For more cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

MSC Cruises cabin primer

MSC Cruises has become one of the fastest-growing lines in the cruise industry, with about two dozen ships in its fleet. The vessels fall into six classes : Lirica, Musica, Fantasia, Meraviglia, Seaside and World.

Although cabin offerings can vary from ship to ship and class to class, the standard types remain the same: inside, outside, balcony and suite.

Additionally, you'll find the same basic amenities in each room, unless otherwise noted below. They include two twin beds that can be joined to form a queen- or king-size bed; an in-cabin bathroom with a shower, a sink, a toilet and basic soap, shower gel and shampoo; a couple of nightstands; a chair or sofa; a desk/vanity; a closet; a safe; a hair dryer; a minifridge; a phone; USB outlets and a selection of both North American and European outlets.

On all ships except MSC Lirica, MSC Opera, MSC Sinfonia and MSC Armonia, you'll also find an interactive TV that allows you to view the daily schedule, check your onboard account and choose from a selection of live TV programs and movies.

Twice-daily room tidying is provided by a room steward assigned to each cabin, and room service is available throughout the day for an added fee.

One confusing aspect of MSC's bookings is that you'll have to select an experience package in addition to a cabin type. Package tiers determine things like your ability to choose a specific cabin and preferred dining time and whether you'll receive welcome amenities in your room. Certain cabin types are only available in conjunction with certain package experiences and vice versa. Those are noted in each respective section below.

Accessible cabins , including accommodations for wheelchair users, are available on every ship in MSC's fleet. In addition to more space, they feature wider doorways and lowered sinks and toilets in the bathrooms, as well as grab bars.

MSC Cruises' experience packages

Here's what you get when you book each of MSC's three experience packages, which determine the perks you'll receive on your sailing.

• Accommodations
• Complimentary food in the dining room and buffet
• Broadway-style theater entertainment
• Access to the onboard gym, pool and kids club
• MSC Voyagers Club points
• One for-fee change to your cruise booking (with some restrictions)
• Drink package discount at time of booking
• All Bella perks
• Choice of specific cabin and location
• One free change to your cruise booking (with some restrictions)
• Ability to choose between early and late seating for dinner
• Room service (complimentary for breakfast, but fees apply for other meals)
• Discount on pre-cruise specialty dining package
• All Fantastica and Bella perks
• Flexible My Choice dining, which lets you eat at any time you choose between set hours
• Free 24-hour room service delivery
• Pillow menu
• A welcome package, including Prosecco and chocolates
• Complimentary access to your ship's solarium and thermal area
• A 10% discount on all spa treatments purchased on board
• Special Balinese massage offer when booked pre-cruise
• Complimentary use of bathrobe and slippers
• Priority boarding and luggage drop-off

Inside cabins on MSC Cruises ships

Inside cabins — rooms with no windows — are available on all ships in the MSC fleet. Ranging from 140 to 301 square feet (depending on the ship), they make for great sleeping because they're so dark. They're also ideal for passengers who are on a budget.

In addition to the standard amenities mentioned above, they provide room for anywhere from two to four passengers to sleep. (Rooms that sleep more than two feature bunks that pull down from the ceiling.)

These cabins are available with the line's Bella and Fantastica experiences.

If you're sailing solo, some MSC vessels offer cabins for one outfitted with a twin bed that converts into a couch. These interior studio accommodations are only available with the Bella package on MSC Meraviglia , MSC Bellissima and the line's World Class ships.

Ocean-view cabins on MSC Cruises ships

Ocean-view rooms are similar to insides in that they provide basic amenities — but with a view.

Offering 129 to 269 square feet of space (depending on the specific ship and ocean-view category), these staterooms allow you to see outside through a porthole or a window that doesn't open.

MSC's outside cabins are available to passengers who book Bella and Fantastica packages.

Additionally, if you're traveling with your family or another group, several of MSC Cruises' ships — particularly those in the Meraviglia and Seaside classes — feature space for as many as 10 passengers via a series of connecting rooms. Options are available at the ocean-view and balcony levels.

Balcony cabins on MSC Cruises ships

You might be surprised to discover that most of MSC Cruises' balcony cabins provide less interior square footage than what's available in inside or ocean-view staterooms.

Balcony rooms run anywhere from 129 to 205 square feet, but their key feature is, of course, a private balcony, which does add an extra 32 to 129 square feet, depending on the vessel and specific type of balcony room booked. These cabins are bookable in conjunction with MSC's Bella, Fantastica and Aurea experiences.

Although balcony cabins offer upgraded amenities, including MSC's brand of hand lotion and toiletries, they are largely the same as inside and ocean-view accommodations.

MSC's newest ships — including those in the Meraviglia, Seaside and World Classes — house connecting balcony rooms that can sleep up to 10 in the same group traveling together.

Additionally, on its World Class ships, the line has introduced inward-facing balconies, similar to the ones Royal Caribbean pioneered in 2009 with the debut of its Oasis Class vessels . On World Europa, for example, they overlook the ship's promenade, offering views of the activity below, rather than the ocean.

MSC Cruises suites

All ships in MSC's fleet have suites that can be booked as part of the Fantastica and Aurea packages, but it's Aurea that offers the largest number of perks, as outlined above.

The several types of suites vary by ship in terms of size and amenities. Some come with balconies, while others only offer floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows.

Junior Suites

Although this room type is listed as a suite, it's essentially a balcony cabin with a bit more space — 183 square feet of interior accommodation with a balcony that ranges from 140 to 183 square feet.

Standard suites include rooms with huge balconies larger than the cabin's interior space and ones with private whirlpool tubs. They run from 269 to 355 square feet, with balconies measuring 32 to 409 square feet.

Grand Suites

Coming in between 377 and 420 square feet, with balconies spanning from 32 to 495 square feet, Grand Suites — found on Seaside and World Class ships — come in two types. They include standard one-bedroom Grand Suites, as well as two-bedroom varieties.

The latter has one bedroom with a queen-size bed and another with two twins. It sleeps up to five passengers and offers two bathrooms — one with a shower and the other with a bathtub.

While most suites are designed for double occupancy, some suite accommodations on MSC Bellissima, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Virtuosa and MSC Magnifica can sleep up to five people.

MSC Yacht Club suites on MSC ships

All cabins located in the MSC Yacht Club — an exclusive, gated area on select ships — are called suites, even the smallest and least expensive, which don't have windows or balconies.

Yacht Club suite types range from insides to two-deck duplexes, all of which come with butler and concierge services, luxuriously appointed furnishings (such as real marble finishes, memory foam mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets) and access to members-only restaurants, bars (alcohol is free there), lounges, pools and sun decks.

The Yacht Club features seven different types of rooms. Ships that have the MSC Yacht Club on board include MSC Bellissima, MSC Divina, MSC Fantasia, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Preziosa, MSC Seaside, MSC Seascape, MSC Seaview, MSC Seashore, MSC Splendida, MSC Virtuosa and MSC World Europa.

Note: Not all Yacht Clubs have the same suite types available.

MSC Yacht Club Interior Suites

Although these 161- to 226-square-foot cabins don't offer a view or fresh air, they are elegantly decorated and include all the Yacht Club benefits mentioned above.

MSC Yacht Club Deluxe Suites

These Yacht Club digs are the equivalent of a balcony cabin — but in a dedicated area that includes all the exclusive perks. They run 236 to 366 square feet and have balconies ranging from 54 to 86 square feet, so they also come with a bit more space, both inside and outdoors.

MSC Yacht Club Deluxe Grand Suites

Similarly, Deluxe Grand Suites are like the Yacht Club equivalent of booking a Grand Suite with more perks. Depending on the ship, they offer anywhere from 269 to 463 square feet of space, plus 65- to 129-square-foot balconies. Some Grand Suites also have two bedrooms instead of one. Further, these rooms on Seaside Class ships include bathrooms with bathtubs, as well as separate living areas.

MSC Yacht Club Duplex Suites

Rising two decks, MSC's duplex staterooms measure 495 to 635 square feet and come with 65- to 334-square-foot balconies. They feature living rooms with two-person sofa beds downstairs and master bedrooms upstairs, which also sleep two passengers.

Each of these accommodations comes complete with two walk-in closets and two bathrooms — one with a bathtub and one with a shower. Most duplexes on Meraviglia and World Class ships also have their own private whirlpool tubs.

MSC Yacht Club Executive and Family Suites

The line's Executive and Family Suites, available only on Fantasia Class vessels, are an excellent choice for anyone who wants to stay in the Yacht Club with a family or other group of more than two people.

This option, which is one type of suite (despite its confusing name), has space for up to five cruisers via a combination of bunk beds, sofa beds and beds that pull down from the ceiling, depending on the ship. The suites clock in at around 431 to 549 square feet, depending on the vessel.

The only drawback is that these staterooms have no balconies and no in-room dining areas, but they do include all the perks you'd find in Yacht Club cabins.

MSC Yacht Club Royal Suites

Although they only occupy one level, at 388 to 667 square feet, MSC's Yacht Club Royal Suites are right up there with the Duplex Suites in terms of space. They offer the second-largest amount of square footage after the Owner's Suites. They come with huge balconies comprising 355 to 753 square feet of outdoor area.

Additionally, bathrooms in these suites offer bathtubs on Fantasia, Meraviglia, Seaside and World Class ships, and the latter three have private whirlpool tubs, as well. All four classes' Royal Suites also include separate living room areas.

MSC Yacht Club Owner's Suites

The largest and most impressive of all MSC's cabins are the Owner's Suites found in the Yacht Club. Offering an impressive 840 to 1,119 square feet — larger than some land-based apartments — plus 269- to 670-square-foot balconies, they're some of the most luxurious rooms afloat.

Specific amenities vary by ship, but as an example, Owner's Suites on MSC World Europa offer floor-to-ceiling windows and walk-in closets. These accommodations on both the line's Seaside and World Class vessels also feature bathrooms with separate showers and bathtubs, as well as private whirlpool tubs and separate living room areas.

Bottom line

Although MSC Cruises' cabin types are straightforward, the line's add-on experiences can complicate things a bit.

Overall, what's key to remember is that MSC Cruises offers a wide variety of rooms and pricing to meet just about any budget or style of cruising. Each ship will offer accommodation choices from the least expensive, bare-bones interior rooms to the priciest suites, which come with butler and concierge services.

When you sail with MSC Cruises, you can expect function, style and comfort, regardless of the cabin type you book.

Here I go again!!! Just read a review that said there are only 5 bicycles and 5 treadmills. For 4300 people? This must be a mistake!! Can anyone speak to the the amount of equipment they have on the ship. We are gym users. I use the bike and then lift weights, my wife uses the treadmill and then does weights.

Shed some light on this picture. We're booked, but beginning to have doubts.

One thing that I really disliked about MSC Divina was that unless you were in the Yacht Club, there is no way of going to the top front decks and look forward. I think that was a lousy call from MSC, at least the Breakaway class has half of the ship for regular passengers and the other half for Haven. Anyway, I guess I just dislike being treated differently, I understand that they are paying a premium. But having access to the front of the ship is really nice and I make it there often in my voyages. So back to the spa topic, the only way you can see the front of the ship if you are not in the Yacht Club, is by going to the gym. The Gym is part of the spa, and of course it is free to use. However, as much as I said that I was going to go every day to the gym, I did not do it even once. That meant that the only time I saw the bow of the ship was on boarding day and the TV ship camera. Not a big deal, but it is something to be noted nonetheless.

As far as remember, on Fantasia and Splendida, which are same class as Divina, there were about 10 treadmills, 5 bicycles, 4 cross trainers and two steppers. Small weight lifting area, two benches only. Also, there are few resistance machines and folded mats for stretching.

I have to queue for a treadmill, but never waited longer than few minutes. They expect you not to exceed 20 minutes, which is fine with me, but I know some people like to run longer.

Overall, for the size of the ship and capacity, gym is very small and poorly equipped, but I try to make best use of it

Here's 1 gym pics for you. We just got off Divina yesterday. I was in the gym everyday.

All my pics are too large to load so I had to resize it just to add this one. We usually went to the gym around 2ish in the afternoon.

9 treadmills and 3 ellipticals. They have 4 bikes but on our cruise two were broken. Cruise ships gyms are all too small and overcrowded. They really don't realize how many people like to exercise on a cruise.

Do they have barbells in the gym ? Bench press ?

Those bikes are for a fee and part of the spinning class. Know what you are talking about before making a wise comment.

I was simply asking if these are the bikes you were speaking of,,,but thank you for taking my comment completely out of context!!!!

Other people on these boards have had issues with you and you always put the blame on the other and not yourself. Maybe you should be more clear.

The gym is packed early in the mornings (6:30am-8am) from my experience. People were waiting for cardio machines. I've gone later and didn't have to wait for machines.

There is a 30 min time limit on cardio machines, however I found that certain guests do not adhere to the rules. 3 days in a row I saw the same 2 women on ellipticals (there were only 4) for AT LEAST 1 hour. When I asked one lady if she was done after 30 minutes, she replied "NO" and reset her time for another 30minutes. The staff weren't helpful with reinforcing the rules either.
