Grandiosa green

MSC Cruises has revealed its highly anticipated ship Grandiosa will boast a range of advanced environmental technologies when she officially launches on 31 Oct.

The vessel will mark the debut of the modern tech for the cruise line, including selective catalytic reduction, which reduces nitrogen oxide through active emission control by 90%, as well as an advanced wastewater treatment system.

Other green features include better fuel consumption (28% less than Fantasia Class ships), and shore-to-ship power.

Grandiosa is the fifth new ship to enter service for the cruise line over the last 30 months, part of plans to build 17 innovative and environmentally-sound cruise ships between 2017 and 2027.
