I was a passenger on the Preserved Steam Ship SS Shieldhall on the 2nd of July 2022 when I was fortunate to capture this image of the Cruise Ship MSC Virtuosa. The 181541 Gross Ton MSC Virtuosa is a Meraviglia Plus class cruise ship that was built in France and launched in 2019. However, due to the Covid Pandemic she came into service two years later, in 2021. She is owned and operated by the Italian shipping company MSC Cruises. She has been built to accommodate a maximum of 6334 passengers and 1704 crew. The image shows MSC Virtuosa motoring down Southampton Water Southampton heading in the direction of the Solent at the commencement of a cruise.
