The MSC Bellissima boasts a number of exclusive performances, entertainment as well as being the first ever cruise ship to have a virtual personal assistant in every single cabin.
On board the 43 metre (141ft) ship, guests can enjoy exclusive entertainment from Cirque du Soleil at Sea, with two brand new performances to take place in the specially designed Carousel Lounge.
Show Syma (Sail beyond Imagination) is a story of a young sailor while Varelia (Loved in Full Colour) is a medieval tale with futuristic highlights.
The cruise will also feature the world's first virtual cruise assistant ZOE, who can speak seven different languages – she will be available in all of the cabins.
Passengers can ask her about anything on the ship with her being programmed to answer more than 800 common questions, simply by saying "Okay Zoe".
