MSC Bellissima To Feature Exclusive Cirque Du Soleil At Sea

MSC Cruises has unveiled details of the two new Cirque du Soleil at Sea shows that are being created specifically for MSC Bellissima. The breath-taking shows will be called SYMA – Sail beyond Imagination and VARÉLIA – Love in Full Color and will be available exclusively to MSC Bellissima guests, following her launch in March 2019.

SYMA (Sail Beyond Imagination) takes viewers on the epic journey of a young sailor who braves the elements, plunges into troubled waters and discovers the mysterious island of his dreams, populated by surreal, and colorful creatures. Immersive video images, an original set design, bioluminescent lighting and acrobatic feats make SYMA an unforgettable show.

VARÉLIA (Love in Full Color) puts a futuristic twist on a traditional medieval tale. It traces the courtship between a princess with distinctive violet skin and a charming hero who is blind. Their budding romance is thwarted by a villain who, in a fit of madness, kidnaps the royal. With the help of his friends, the brave young hero formulates a plan to rescue his beloved. The acrobatic feats, the laser show and the unique set design of this futuristic medieval tale are guaranteed to impress any viewer.

These shows will be performed on the Carousel Lounge, an entertainment venue hosting just over 400 guests each night and specially designed for the needs of the Cirque du Soleil at Sea artists. Creating an immersive and intimate spectacle for MSC Cruises guests, the space allows viewers to fully connect with the artists. The 360° rotating stage is set in the middle of the lounge with seating all around to maximize the viewing experience.
