MSC Cruises is bringing its renowned "yacht-within-a-ship" luxury concept, the MSC Yacht Club, to MSC Poesia as part of one of the largest renovations in the company's history. The refurbishment will also introduce the specialty restaurants Butcher's Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar, the All-Stars Sports Bar, a revamped MSC Aurea Spa, and an upgraded fitness center featuring Technogym® technology.
Passengers sailing on MSC Cruises' inaugural Alaska season aboard MSC Poesia will be able to enjoy these new features and, for the first time, explore the unparalleled beauty of Alaska, its spectacular landscapes, magnificent wildlife, and rich cultural heritage with MSC Cruises. Itineraries include scenic destinations such as Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Tracy Arm, and Juneau (Alaska), as well as Victoria (British Columbia, Canada). At each port of call, excursions will be offered, ranging from tasting local cuisine to exploring remote wilderness areas or cruising calm waters in search of exceptional wildlife.
Guests who book the newly added MSC Yacht Club will enjoy an exclusive all-inclusive experience, including 24-hour butler and concierge service, spacious and elegant suites, and access to a private oasis of facilities, including an exclusive restaurant, lounge, private terrace with jacuzzis, and a restaurant and bar with grill, all seamlessly integrated into the ship.
