Inspired by Sophia Loren herself
Originally, MSC Divina was to be christened MSC Fantastica. Nevertheless, the actress Sophia Loren had disclosed to Gianluigi Aponte, MSC’s owner and a close personal friend, that she would one day love to have a ship named after her. It was a wish he instantly fulfilled by suggesting the name Divina, which means ‘divine’. The naming ceremony is scheduled for 26 May 2012 in Marseille, planned, true to the tradition of MSC Cruises, baptized their new ships in a major port for the shipping company.
