Incidents
On March 5, 2009, high winds snapped the forward mooring lines of MSC FANTASIA while she was docked in Spain. The bow drifted away from the dock side and caused a passenger gangway to collapse into the water. One passenger and three crew members had to be rescued from the sea. One passenger was taken to hospital with head injuries, while the other three were treated for hypothermia. When she was sailing into Naples on April 5, 2012, she hit the wall of the dock, nobody was hurt, but she had a small dent on her stern area where she hit.
2018 In service, same name, owners and manager, Under Panama registry.
