CHICAGO The little cruise line from Genoa, Italy, won’t be little much longer.

Plans were revealed Tuesday for the seven-ship fleet of MSC Cruises to add a new vessel every year through 2009 and to kick off its “Beautiful. Passionate. Italian” campaign featuring actress Sophia Loren.

The Italian icon will appear in a $4 million campaign, via IC Comm in New York, beginning this month in print and on billboards, subway signage and taxi toppers in South Florida and New York.
