MSC Magnifica Ship Visit & Official Drawing Presentation

MSC Cruises' MSC Magnifica at Harwich International Port

On April 26th 2013, Dream Designs Colchester had the pleasure of joining a number of Travel Agents on a visit aboard MSC Magnifica whilst the vessel was berthed alongside the Cruise Terminal at Harwich International Port.

We contacted MSC Cruises sometime before to request permission to visit the ship, as well as offer to officially presented our drawing of MSC Magnifica to the Captain during the visit.

MSC Cruises were kind enough to accept our request and granted us permission to visit the ship along with the Travel Agents at Harwich International Port.

Harry Cotterill, President & Managing Director, Dream Designs Colchester was joined aboard by his father, Brian Cotterill.

Visitors were asked to arrive at the Cruise Terminal at Harwich International Port at 10:30 before embarking aboard MSC Magnifica at 11:00. We arrived a little earlier so that we had the opportunity to take a number of photographs of the ship before boarding.

At approximately 11:00 visitors were invited to make their way through security before boarding MSC Magnifica shortly afterward. Upon boarding we were asked to wait in the Ruby Bar on Deck 6, before we were escorted to the L’Ametista Lounge at the stern of the vessel on Deck 7.

Here visitors were invited to relax and enjoy a glass or two of champagne or fruit punch, together with light refreshments, together with a presentation and Q&A session.

After the presentation and Q&A session, the Master of MSC Magnifica, Captain Antonio Siviero was welcomed in the L’Ametista Lounge and Harry Cotterill, President & Managing Director, Dream Designs Colchester was invited to join him on stage to officially present his especially assigned drawing of MSC Magnifica.

Captain Antonio Siviero was very impressed with the drawing and informed us that he will find a place to hang the drawing aboard MSC Magnifica. In return for our drawing the Captain kindly presented us with a beautiful model of the ship!
