MSC Cruises has announced the incorporation of MSC Yacht Club to two of its Musica-class ships: MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra. With this update, all four ships in the class (MSC Poesia, MSC Magnifica, MSC Musica, and MSC Orchestra) will be renovated to offer this exclusive area on board. MSC Yacht Club is positioned as a central piece in the company’s strategy to strengthen its offering of personalized and high-quality cruises.
What is MSC Yacht Club
MSC Yacht Club is conceived as a “ship within a ship”, a reserved area that combines greater privacy with direct access to the rest of the ship’s facilities. Guests have spacious suites, elegant, with 24-hour butler service and dedicated concierge, in addition to exclusive private areas that include a restaurant, lounge, and terrace. This proposal seeks to balance a quieter and more controlled environment with the possibility of enjoying the general offering of gastronomy, leisure, and entertainment on the ship.
In addition to reserved spaces, Yacht Club passengers receive a series of personalized services aimed at taking care of the experience in the details. Among them are daily attentions in the suite, such as fresh fruit, macarons, premium chocolates and a complimentary bottle of premium spirits of the passenger’s choice. The service also includes help with unpacking and packing luggage, as well as private shopping appointments at the boutiques on board outside regular hours.
The proposal is completed with MED by MSC, an exclusive collection of organic bath products created specifically for MSC Yacht Club passengers. For those seeking a more personalized experience on land, the company organizes customized excursions and can offer private transportation, adapting activities to guests’ individual preferences.
Expansion of the Concept to 19 Ships
With the incorporation of MSC Yacht Club on MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra, this product will be available on 19 ships in the MSC Cruises fleet. In this way, the cruise line extends access to its premium segment travel proposal, focused on comfort and personalized service, while maintaining the scale and services of a large cruise ship. The company emphasizes that this expansion is part of an ongoing strategy to improve the on-board experience with differentiated concepts.
MSC Musica Itineraries
The ship MSC Musica will operate in South America between November 2026 and April 2027, already with the new MSC Yacht Club area on board. During this season it will offer eight to nine-night itineraries with port calls in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Punta del Este, including departures during Christmas and New Year periods. At the end of the season, a 16-night transatlantic crossing is scheduled, departing from Santos on April 1, 2027 bound for Genoa.
MSC Orchestra Itineraries
In the case of MSC Orchestra, the debut of MSC Yacht Club will take place in the Eastern Mediterranean. The ship will sail from Bari (Italy) between March 13 and April 24, 2027, already incorporating the new Yacht Club suites and services. During this period, the itinerary will explore destinations in Turkey, such as Izmir and Istanbul, with additional port calls in Piraeus (for Athens) and Corfu, Greece.
The company has indicated that sales of MSC Yacht Club suites on MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra will open soon, so commercial details will be communicated at a later stage.
