Creator's Key Takeaways

here I am in Southampton City Cruise terminal about to get on board MSC Cruise's brand new ship MSC virtuosa

it marks the restart of cruising from the UK after a long long break over a year

the first thing that hits you is it's very quiet this is a huge ship 6 200 passengers it can carry but it's only got a thousand on board

we are sailing we've set sail we've left Southampton dogs we're heading into the solar and off out into the English Channel
