(IN SHORT) MSC Cruises is extending its MSC Yacht Club luxury all-inclusive concept to two more vessels, MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra, completing the upgrade of the entire Musica class fleet and bringing the total number of ships offering the experience to 19. MSC Musica will be refurbished in late 2026 ahead of its South American season, while MSC Orchestra will receive the upgrade in early 2027 before sailing from Bari in the Mediterranean. The MSC Yacht Club provides a private “ship within a ship” environment with dedicated suites, 24-hour butler service, exclusive dining and leisure spaces, curated in-suite amenities, and bespoke shore experiences. The announcement is accompanied by detailed itineraries for both ships, including South American sailings and a transatlantic crossing for MSC Musica, and Türkiye and Greek island routes for MSC Orchestra, with sales for Yacht Club suites set to open soon.

(PRESS RELEASE) GENEVA, Switzerland, 2026-Feb-4 — /Travel PR News/ — MSC Cruises has confirmed that its flagship MSC Yacht Club concept will be rolled out to two additional ships, MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra, completing the upgrade programme across the entire Musica class. The latest phase of refurbishment underlines the company’s continued investment in premium, all-inclusive cruising and its ambition to deliver a more elevated, personalised experience for guests seeking greater privacy, comfort, and bespoke service at sea.

The enhancements will be carried out in stages, with MSC Musica scheduled to undergo its upgrade in late 2026 ahead of its South American season. MSC Orchestra will follow in the first quarter of 2027, with the ship set to begin sailing in the Mediterranean from Bari, Italy. Once both vessels are upgraded, all four ships in the Musica class, including MSC Poesia and MSC Magnifica, will feature the MSC Yacht Club experience.

The MSC Yacht Club is conceived as an exclusive enclave within the larger ship, offering guests a refined “ship within a ship” environment. Passengers staying in this area benefit from spacious suites, round-the-clock butler service, and a dedicated concierge team. Private facilities include an elegant restaurant, a stylish lounge, and a reserved sundeck, providing a tranquil retreat while still allowing easy access to the full range of dining, entertainment, and leisure options available elsewhere on board.

Beyond its dedicated spaces, MSC Yacht Club offers a range of personalised amenities designed to enhance every aspect of the guest experience. These include daily in-suite treats such as fresh fruit, macarons, chocolates, and a complimentary bottle of premium spirits chosen by the guest. Additional services range from unpacking and packing assistance to private shopping appointments in onboard boutiques outside standard opening hours. Guests also receive exclusive MED by MSC organic bath products created specifically for the Yacht Club. For those wishing to tailor their time ashore, bespoke excursions and private transfers can be arranged to suit individual preferences.

MSC Cruises continues to evolve its onboard offering with the aim of creating memorable, high-end cruise experiences. With the inclusion of MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra, the MSC Yacht Club will be available across 19 ships in the fleet, broadening access to this premium all-inclusive concept for discerning travellers.

MSC Musica will operate in South America from November 2026 to April 2027, featuring a selection of cruises to Brazilian ports as well as eight- to nine-night holiday sailings calling at Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Punta del Este over the Christmas and New Year period. The season will conclude with a 16-night transatlantic voyage departing Santos on 1 April 2027 and arriving in Genoa.

MSC Orchestra will begin offering MSC Yacht Club accommodations from Bari, Italy between 13 March and 24 April 2027, sailing itineraries that explore Türkiye, including calls at Izmir and Istanbul, alongside stops in Piraeus and Corfu in Greece.
