Service History
European Stars entered service for Festival Cruises on 2002-04-25 on a cruise from Barcelona. Her career with Festival proved short however, as the company went bankrupt in January 2004 and the European Stars was subsequently impounded and laid up in Barcelona on 2004-01-19. The ship remained laid up for several months, until she was sold to MSC Cruises in July 2004 for €220 million and renamed MSC Sinfonia (her sister European Vision also joined the MSC fleet, as MSC Armonia). The MSC Sinfonia entered service with her new owners in March 2005.
