MSC Cruises is adding its MSC Yacht Club to two additional ships–MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra. Once completed, all four Musica class vessels, MSC Poeisa, MSC Magnifica, MSC Musica, and MSC Orchestra, will have been upgraded to showcase the cruise line’s ship-within-a-ship concept.
MSC Musica will receive her Yacht Club expansion before her South America season in November 2026, while MSC Orchestra will receive hers before she begins sailing the Mediterranean from Bari, Italy, in March 2027.
So what is the MSC Yacht Club exactly?
MSC Cruises describes its Yacht Club as “an exclusive private sanctuary” that guests must have a keycard to access. It has also been described as the “ship-within-a-ship” concept. Essentially, the MSC Yacht Club is an elevated, private, all-inclusive luxury experience located on the foredecks of the ship.
Guests are treated to 24-hour service from check-in to disembarkation, including priority embarkation and disembarkation, a concierge team, a dedicated butler and premier room service. Gourmet, flexible dining is available at the MSC Yacht Club restaurant. The exclusive Top Sail Lounge is the spot for nightly live music, and the Panoramic Top Sail Lounge provides afternoon tea, a bar and a “light food selection.”
The MSC Yacht Club offers luxurious, spacious suites with premium amenities like memory foam mattresses, Egyptian cotton linens, a complimentary mini bar and more. Its all-inclusive amenities include a Premium Extra Package, unlimited Wi-Fi for up to two devices, and complimentary access to the Thermal Suite in the MSC Aurea Spa. The MSC Yacht Club also provides a private pool and sundeck.
Guests of the MSC Yacht Club will also have access to the private Ocean House Beach on Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. The Ocean House Beach features a private beach area with beachfront cabanas, a restaurant and bar, and other complimentary amenities.
MSC Musica will begin sailing in South America between November 2026 and April 2027. She will sail to Brazilian destinations and offer holiday sailings to Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Punta del Este. She will sail a 16-night transatlantic cruise from Santos to Genoa on April 1, 2027 ending her South America season.
MSC Orchestra will be outfitted with the MSC Yacht Club before she begins sailing from Bari, Italy on March 13, 2027. She will explore iconic destinations in Turkey, including Izmir and Istanbul, as well as call at Piraeus and Corfu, Greece.
