It’s magnificent.

The MSC Meraviglia cruise ship will arrive in Dublin Port today, and it is the biggest cruise ship to ever land in the capital.

With 5,700 passengers on board, it boasts two theatres, 12 dining venues, 20 bars (!!), lounges and even a waterpark.

The ship’s 96-metre promenade is filled with boutiques, restaurants and lots of shops. The area comes alive in the evening with music, parties and entertainment.

And even when inside the ship, you’ll feel like you’re outside in the fresh air. The entire ceilig of the inside promenade is covered with an LED screen to recreate the atmosphere of the sky.

There are multiple pools for passengers to enjoy as well as the Yacht Club which is dubbed an “exclusive haven of refinement”.

The ship also boasts a Balinese spa, beauty salon, nail boutique and a gym.

Cirque du Soleil also performs twice every single night, six nights a week on board – not bad, ay?

The cruise ship recently docked in Cork, and made its way around Hamburg, Scotland and Southampton.
