Bookings are now open for the MSC Yacht Club aboard MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra.

The ships are the latest in the MSC Cruises fleet to undergo a major dry-dock refurbishment which will bring the “ship-within-a-ship” concept onboard. Crews are also adding two specialty restaurants, Butcher’s Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar, refreshing the MSC Aurea Spa and enhancing the MSC Gym.

All four vessels in the Musica class—MSC Poesia, MSC Magnifica, MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra—will be upgraded to feature the MSC Yacht Club by mid-2027. With the addition of MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra, the MSC Yacht Club will be available on 19 ships.

A range of itineraries are now available to book on MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra featuring the new MSC Yacht Club. 

MSC Musica will sail in South America from November 2026 through April 2027, offering cruises ranging from three to nine nights. The season concludes with a 16-night transatlantic crossing departing Santos on April 1, 2027, for Genoa. The vessel will then offer seven-night sailings around the Mediterranean summer 2027.  

MSC Orchestra will sail from Bari, Italy, starting March 2027, exploring the Eastern Mediterranean.
