MSC Showcases Pending New-Builds MSC chiefs and European press gathered down at Aker Yards in sunny St. Nazaire, France this week to sneak a peek at the next-to-launch MSC Fantasia and to mark a milestone in the construction of the line's fourth 93,300-ton, 3,779-passenger Musica-class vessel, MSC Magnifica. The event in question? A coin-laying ceremony -- an old maritime tradition thought to ensure a life of good luck at sea.
