MSC Cruises has opened reservations for the introduction of its Yacht Club concept aboard the vessels MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra, marking a further extension of the line’s premium accommodation offering within its existing fleet.
The initiative will be implemented through scheduled dry-dock refits, during which both ships will be reconfigured to incorporate a dedicated Yacht Club complex comprising 63 suites, along with private lounge, restaurant and sundeck facilities. Access to these areas will be restricted, supported by a service model that includes continuous butler and concierge assistance.
The refurbishment programme also includes wider upgrades across public and hotel spaces, including the addition of specialty dining venues such as Butcher’s Cut steakhouse and Kaito Sushi Bar, enhancements to the MSC Aurea Spa with expanded thermal facilities, and improvements to onboard fitness areas.
The timeline for completion places MSC Musica’s upgrade in late 2026 ahead of its South American deployment, while MSC Orchestra is scheduled to follow in early 2027 in preparation for Mediterranean itineraries departing from Bari.
With the inclusion of these two vessels, the Yacht Club concept will be present across all four ships in the Musica class and extended to a total of 19 ships within the wider fleet, reflecting a continued emphasis on differentiated onboard products within large-capacity vessels.
Operational deployment for the upgraded ships has been aligned with these modifications. MSC Musica is scheduled to operate South American itineraries between November 2026 and April 2027 before repositioning to the Mediterranean, while MSC Orchestra will commence Eastern Mediterranean sailings in spring 2027, linking ports in Greece and Türkiye.
