In 2008 he performed at the christening of MSC Poesia in Dover and in 2017 he performed at the naming ceremony of MSC Seaside in Miami.
MSC supports the Andrea Bocelli Foundation through guest donations onboard MSC Seaside.
Bellissima is the second ship in Meraviglia class and the fourth of MSC’s next-generation ships to come into service in just over 18 months.
