MSC Cruises is bringing its all-inclusive cruising concept, the MSC Yacht Club, to ’MSC Poesia’, as part of a major upgrade.
The revamp will also introduce Butcher’s Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar speciality restaurants, All-Stars Sports Bar, a refreshed MSC Aurea Spa and enhanced MSC Gym Powered by Technogym®.
Guests on MSC Cruises’ inaugural season in Alaska on board ’MSC Poesia’ will be able to enjoy these new features and for the first time.
Itineraries will include Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Tracy Arm, and Juneau (Alaska), along with Victoria (British Columbia, Canada).
A variety of excursions will be offered at each port of call, from sampling the culinary delights of the region to exploring remote wilderness areas or sailing through serene waters in search of exceptional wildlife.
Antonio Paradiso, Vice President of International Sales at MSC Cruises, said: “This is fantastic news for our UK and Irish guests. MSC Poesia, already a favourite thanks to her Southampton sailings this Winter, will now feature an upgraded MSC Yacht Club. Guests can enjoy this exclusive experience while discovering incredible new destinations – from Alaska to the Panama Canal.
“For our travel agent partners, the MSC Yacht Club delivers even greater earning potential with its exceptional value, new suite categories, including Family, Grand and Royal Suites, and the opportunity to attract both loyal and first-time guests.
“The addition of venues, such as a re-imagined Kaito Sushi Bar and the new Butcher’s Cut, further enhances the on board experience, while giving agents additional opportunities to boost earnings through prepaid dining packages,” he explained.
Guests booking the newly added MSC Yacht Club will enjoy an exclusive, all-inclusive experience featuring 24-hour butler and concierge service, spacious and elegantly appointed suites, and access to private facilities, including a dedicated restaurant, lounge, private sundeck with whirlpools, and grill restaurant and bar, all integrated within the ship.
