MSC Cruises’ MSC Poesia (pictured) will undergo major upgrades, with the line to bring its Yacht Club ship-within-a-ship concept to the vessel ahead of her Alaska season next year.
The new Yacht Club will include 63 suites across five stateroom types, including oceanview balcony suites and connected options for families.
Accommodating up to six guests, the ultra-luxurious royal suite will feature a private whirlpool, an expansive 78m2 terrace, and a private outdoor shower with panoramic ocean views, among other features.
Meanwhile, the two-room grand suite will offer a more intimate setting, coupled with a balcony.
All suites are designed with bathrooms featuring marble finishings, premium embroidered towels, Nespresso coffee machine, complimentary minibar, 24-hour room service, and more.
Poesia’s Yacht Club will also include a private sun deck with a bar and grill, two whirlpools, cabanas, and sun loungers.
Other highlights include an exclusive MSC Yacht Club restaurant, and a new private Top Sail lounge.
Poesia’s revamp will also include the addition of two specialty restaurants, a sports bar, and more, in what is set to be one of the largest upgrades in the cruise line’s history.
Butcher’s Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar restaurants will join the All-Stars Sports Bar on board Poesia, as well as a refreshed MSC Aurea Spa and an enhanced MSC Gym.
Vice President International Antonio Paradiso recently told Cruise Weekly MSC has noticed more bookings for Yacht Club over the past few years, with other passengers choosing to move up to balcony staterooms (CW 15 Sep). MS
