MSC Expands Yacht Club to Musica and Orchestra Ships

MSC Cruises will be adding its MSC Yacht Club experience to two more vessels, MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra, according to a company press release. This development completes the rollout of the Yacht Club across the entire Musica class.

MSC Musica is scheduled to receive the upgrade later in 2026, in preparation for its South American deployment. MSC Orchestra will follow in the first quarter of 2027, ahead of its Mediterranean season sailing from Bari, Italy.

Once both refurbishments are finished, all four Musica-class ships, MSC Poesia,MSC Magnifica, MSC Musica, and MSC Orchestra, will feature the MSC Yacht Club concept.

MSC Yacht Club is marketed as a “ship within a ship,” offering spacious premium suites, 24-hour butler service, and a dedicated concierge team. Guests also enjoy access to exclusive private venues, including a separate restaurant, lounge, and sundeck.

The experience includes a range of personalized services, such as daily in-suite treats like fresh fruit, macarons, and chocolates, along with a complimentary bottle of premium spirits.

Additional benefits include unpacking and packing assistance, private shopping appointments in onboard boutiques outside normal hours, and other exclusive amenities. Yacht Club guests also receive MED by MSC, the company’s organic bath product collection created specifically for this suite category.

With MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra joining the program, MSC Yacht Club will be offered on 19 ships across the fleet.

MSC Musica will operate in South America from November 2026 through April 2027, sailing to Brazilian ports and offering eight- and nine-night holiday cruises to Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Punta del Este during Christmas and New Year. The season will end with a 16-night transatlantic voyage from Santos to Genoa, departing April 1, 2027.

MSC Orchestra will debut its Yacht Club-enhanced sailings from Bari between March 13 and April 24, 2027, visiting destinations in Turkey, including Izmir and Istanbul, along with calls in Piraeus and Corfu, Greece.
