MSC Cruises’ ship MSC Poesia is getting a massive upgrade, with the addition of the MSC Yacht Club, two new specialty restaurants, a sports bar, renovated MSC Aurea Spa and improved fitness center.
Travelers will be able to enjoy the newly renovated ship during its first Alaska season beginning next May. Itineraries will visit key ports in the region, including Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Tracy Arm, Juneau and Victoria.
The addition of the MSC Yacht Club expands the ship-within-a-ship luxury concept, with 24-hour butler service, 63 spacious suites across five categories and access to exclusive amenities, including a restaurant, lounge, private sundeck with whirlpools and more.
Beyond the MSC Yacht Club experience, all guests will be able to enjoy the addition of American-style steakhouse Butcher’s Cut, a reimagined Kaito Sushi Bar, the All-Stars Sports Bar and an upgraded spa and fitness center.
Following the ship’s Alaska season, MSC Poesia will sail the winter 2026-27 season in the Caribbean and Central America, including a Panama Canal Grand Voyage experience.
