If you are considering 'your first cruise' or want to upgrade to a more sophisticated and luxurious sea voyage, I really recommend considering 'MSC Mediterranean Glory'.
This time after actually boarding and unboxing, I truly understand why more and more people are falling in love with cruise travel, because it's essentially a moving resort.
This is not just a voyage, but a luxurious experience about aesthetics, taste buds, and premium services.
Especially this time, I experienced the legendary 'ship within a ship' MSC Yacht Club Mediterranean Yacht Club, which redefined the comfort ceiling of cruise tourism for me!
I used to think cruise travel was very distant, but after actually experiencing it, I realized it can be so easy!
No need to keep changing hotels, no need to move luggage, just enjoy the ultimate luxury travel on the azure ocean, with eating, drinking, and entertainment all sorted on the ship.
MSC Mediterranean Cruises is one of the globally renowned cruise brands, known for its European elegant style.
MSC Glory features:
• Modern design + Italian luxury style
• Super many entertainment facilities (suitable for families, couples, and seniors)
• Rich restaurant choices
MSC Glory currently operates mainly from Taiwan as the home port, with common boarding points being Keelung Port, and voyages usually lasting 4-6 days, with common stops including: Okinawa, Ishigaki Island, Miyakojima, Busan, Sasebo, Kagoshima, Miyazaki, Fukuoka, and Kii Peninsula, etc.
The boarding process is much simpler than imagined, similar to taking a flight:
1. Arrive at the port early for check-in
2. Check in luggage
3. Security check + identity verification
4. Start your sea vacation
👉 On the boarding day, it's recommended to arrive early at Keelung Port (or the departure port), the earlier you board, the sooner you can start enjoying the food, and take empty shots before the crowds build up!
Must-photograph on the ship! Stunning check-in spots and facility highlights:
As soon as you step on board, you'll be amazed by the design! MSC Glory is full of scenery everywhere; here are a few highlights that I suggest adding to your photo list.
• 80-meter sea super long LED canopy: Exquisitely carved, shining with brilliant splendor
Here is like the heart of the entire ship! Through 1,450 LED screens and 140 million LED bulbs interwoven, walking in the corridor, the ceiling changes scenes over time.
From blue skies and white clouds to starry night skies, every moment feels like being in a different scene, you'll really can't help but keep looking up.
• Swarovski Crystal Spiral Staircase: Ever-changing, shocking visuals, stunning senses

The most bonus point is this exclusive balcony.
