Who this is for

Why this ship

An office that stays online at sea

MSC officially announced fleet-wide Starlink installation completed in 2024. Bellissima runs two Wi-Fi packages — Browse for web and messaging, Browse & Stream covering streaming — both unlimited, 24-hour, discounted when pre-purchased before sailing. The old cruise-workation premise that “at sea = offline” becomes optional on this ship.

A moving city where commuting becomes a stroll

171,598 gross tons, about 315 meters, 19 decks, 2,244 cabins. Inside: twelve dining venues, twenty bars, a 985-seat London Theatre and an 1,100㎡ spa. The main street is the 96-meter Galleria promenade, an indoor boulevard under an 80-meter LED dome ceiling. Finishing the morning’s work and walking the promenade to lunch feels less like an office corridor and more like a city walk.

In 2027, Incheon becomes home port

With Lotte Tour Development signing Korea’s first three-year charter partnership with MSC, Bellissima makes her first Incheon departure on June 14, 2027 (Incheon → Keelung, Taiwan → Sasebo, Japan; 6 nights 7 days), then sails Incheon as a year-round home port — with a second ship planned for 2028 and a third for 2029. Boarding a mega-cruise from your doorstep, no flight required. As of 2026, Busan-boarding itineraries (5 days via Shanghai and Seogwipo, etc.) and 2027 Incheon departures are on sale together.

One fare: lodging, dining, transit

Cruise fares include lodging plus main dining and buffet meals as standard (specialty restaurants extra). Incheon-departure 3-night itineraries from ₩341,523; Busan-departure 5-day itineraries from ₩786,671 — as checked on Trip.com on July 26, 2026. Fares vary by cabin class and season, so confirm on the booking page.

Wakation field tips

Buy the Wi-Fi package before sailingPre-purchase discounts are official policy. Go Browse & Stream for video calls and streaming; Browse covers text-centric work. Satellite internet can add latency, so scheduling important presentations for port days is the safer play.

Port time = work sprint or full offJapan port calls are visa-free for short-term tourism on a Korean passport (passport required). Empty the days you go ashore completely and design sailing days as deep-work days — work and travel stop competing.

Cheap cabins go firstEven at the time of checking, inside cabins on some itineraries were already sold out. Once your dates are fixed, the earlier you pick a cabin class, the better. Prone to seasickness? Midship, lower-deck cabins are the classic answer.

Family workation? Start with the kids club timetableOn day one, check the kids club hours and lay your work blocks on top of them. Your child’s schedule becomes your focus timetable.
