MSC Lirica arrived in 2003 as the ship that defined the class. Her 2015 extension added a whole new midsection with extra staterooms and a reworked dining venue, but the core identity stayed the same. There's a four-storey atrium with live entertainment, a wellness centre that smells like essential oils before you even walk in, and candlelit corridors that set a mood most newer ships don't bother attempting. Lirica pulls a strong European crowd that values atmosphere as much as amenities.
