MSC Poesia deck plans

MSC Poesia (2008-built, last refurbished in 2026 February-April) is the third Musica-class MSC cruise ship, together with Magnifica, Musica, and Orchestra.

The MSC Poesia deck plan shows a total of 1343 staterooms accommodating 2550 passengers (maximum capacity 3060), served by 1040 crew. The vessel has 16 decks (13 passenger-accessible, 8 with cabins), 6 dining venues (restaurants and food bars), 16 lounges and bars, 3 swimming pools, 8 Jacuzzis (outdoor whirlpools), and 20 elevators.

MSC Poesia’s decks are named after famous Italian poets.

Introduced in 2026, MSC Poesis's Yacht Club complex added a high-end suite enclave, upgrading this mid-size mainstream cruise ship with a luxury boutique experience available on MSC's newest and largest ships.

"MSC for Me" Digital Innovation Program (2017–2018)

All MSC cruise ships are being fitted with thousands of connectivity points, digital access nodes, iBeacons (Bluetooth), and hundreds of interactive digital screens. RFID (radio-frequency identification) and NFC (near-field communication) technologies are implemented in all staterooms for keyless access.

The program is rolled out fleetwide, with the first fully equipped vessel being MSC Meraviglia (launched June 2017). The ship features 114 interactive screens, 244 information screens, 31 virtual screens, 81 video wall monitors, 2244 NFC-enabled cabins, 3050 iBeacons, 700 wireless access points, and 1200 CCTV cameras.

Key features of the MSC digitalization program include:

• Use of Samsung-powered facial recognition and smart interactive bracelets.
• Digital Concierge app allowing real-time booking of onboard services, restaurants, and shore excursions; available 24 hours and connected directly to MSC staff.
• Capture – a virtual reality tool for previewing itineraries, creating photo galleries, and sharing content.
• Organizer – a cruise planning tool accessible on mobile devices, providing detailed information and enabling pre-cruise and onboard reservations (tours, theater seating, dining, etc.).
• Navigation – an interactive wayfinding map showing scheduled events, venue opening hours, and directions; includes real-time kids’ location monitoring via bracelets.
• TailorMade – a digital advisor offering personalized recommendations based on passenger preferences (gaming, dining, entertainment, recreation, etc.).
• All passengers may opt out of these connected (“Internet of Things” / IoT) services at any time.
