Watch The MSC Magnifica Christening Live

The count-down is underway and even though most of us can't be in Hamburg in person, we can watch the christening of MSC Cruises' MSC Magnifica live on MSC Web TV. The christening celebration includes an evening (although it is afternoon here in the US) of entertainment and celebration both onboard and ashore through a live broadcast shown on two giant screens. Renowned Italian singer Eros Ramazzotti, adult contemporary/soft rock/pop artist, performs on stage during the christening while MSC Cruises' traditional godmother, Italian screen legend Sophia Loren, participates in the ribbon cutting. Ramazzotti is one of the most popular Italian singers and songwriters selling more than 40 million records in his 25-year career.

Get the popcorn ready and hare in the excitement of this terrific event today, March 6, at 2:30 PM (EST) live at www.mscwebtv.com/.
