The MSC Bellissima has left Chantiers de l’Atlantique for her first set of sea trials, with 450 technicians and engineers onboard the new vessel, according to a statement from the shipbuilder.
The multi-day testing phase will be a shakedown of sorts by the shipyard to measure the vessel’s performance and fully test various systems.
The MSC Bellissima will be delivered early next year. The 4,500-guest ship will debut in Europe before sailing in the Middle East for winter 2019-2020 ahead of her 2020 China program.
