MSC Cruises has announced the deployment of the MSC Poesia for the winter 2026–2027 season, offering a series of 10- and 11-night Caribbean roundtrips from PortMiami (Florida USA).

This marks a strategic expansion of MSC's North American operations, providing longer voyage options beyond the typical 7-night itineraries.

Following her inaugural Alaskan season, MSC Poesia is scheduled to arrive in Miami in mid-October 2026. The repositioning voyage includes a 20-night Panama Canal transit from Seattle, with planned port calls in Los Angeles, San Diego, Cabo San Lucas, Puntarenas, Colon, and Cartagena.

Upon arrival, the vessel will commence her winter schedule with a 5-night cruise to Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Subsequently, the MSC Poesia will undertake nearly 20x 10- and 11-night cruises through March 2027, visiting destinations such as Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Roatan, Colon, Puerto Limon, St. Thomas, St. John’s, St. Kitts, Cartagena de Indias, Montego Bay, and Cabo Rojo.

The MSC Poesia's deployment is part of MSC Cruises' broader expansion in the U.S. market for the 2026–2027 winter season, which will feature 7 ships across 4 American homeports.

Bookings for the 2026–2027 winter season are now open, offering travelers various options to explore the Caribbean and beyond with MSC Cruises.
