Like the rest of the Lirica class, she was lengthened in 2015 to squeeze in more space, but the soul of the ship didn't change. The interior design pulls from Europe's grand opera houses, the theatre puts on full-scale productions, and the casino could hold its own against venues on land. Opera frequently sails the Middle East and Indian Ocean, which suits passengers looking for warm-weather itineraries with some cultural depth. ## Dining | Restaurant | Type | Included | |------|------|------| | Il Patio | Grill and pizzeria | ✅ Yes | | L'Approdo Restaurant (Main Dining Room) | Continental, Italian | ✅ Yes | | La Caravella Restaurant (Main Dining Room) | Continental, Italian | ✅ Yes | | Le Vele Cafeteria | Assorted Buffet | ✅ Yes | ## Upcoming Cruises 332 upcoming sailings on MSC Opera.
