The Port of Hamburg today welcomed the first call of MSC Grandiosa.

The new 4,888-guest MSC ship welcomed local port officials onboard for a traditional crest exchange ahead of her Saturday christening in the German port.

MSC Grandiosa was delivered on Oct. 31 at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.

She will be deployed in the Western Mediterranean for the next 12 months before MSC Grandiosa is deployed to South America for winter 2020.
