Sailings on MSC Cruises’ two vessels, the Musica and MSC Orchestra, which are being upgraded to feature the MSC Yacht Club, are open for booking.

The upgraded MSC Musica will set sail in November 2026 and MSC Orchestra in March 2027, the company said in a statement.

The refurbishments are part of its ongoing modernization efforts across its fleet, thanks to which its ship-within-a-ship concept will be available across 19 ships fleetwide.

New highlights coming to the two vessels post refurbishment include:

MSC Yacht Club: A retreat with 63 suites, 24-hour butler and concierge service, an exclusive Top Sail lounge and its own restaurant, along with a private sundeck with two hot tubs, a grill restaurant and bar.

Guests will be able to choose from four suite categories, including a brand-new, spacious two-room Grand Suite.

Redesigned MSC Aurea Spa: A new spa will be available to guests looking to relax and rejuvenate with a sauna with panoramic sea views, steam rooms, a salt room, Kneipp path and an area to relax with tea.

MSC Gym Powered by Technogym: A new gym has been added, complete with indoor workout areas boasting aft panoramic views and ocean vistas, dedicated yoga and spinning studios as well as training equipment from Technogym.

Butcher’s Cut: This American-style steakhouse will offer premium cuts of meat, including beef from Meat by Linz and a selection of steaks and sides in a modern setting.

Kaito Sushi Bar: Fresh creations and authentic Asian dishes await guests at this sushi bar.

The refurbished MSC Musica will sail in South America from November 2026 through April 2027, offering three- and four-night mini cruises to Brazilian destinations including Santos, Buzios and Ilha Grande.

Eight- to nine-night holiday sailings are also available to Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Punta del Este.

The season concludes with a 16-night transatlantic crossing departing Santos on April 1, 2027, to Genoa.

The ship will then offer seven-night sailings around the Mediterranean destinations including Genoa, Civitavecchia for Rome, Palermo in Italy and Ibiza, Valencia in Spain, as well as Marseille, France in summer 2027.

The MSC Orchestra will begin sailing with the new MSC Yacht Club from Bari, Italy, from March 2027, exploring the Eastern Mediterranean including destinations such as Izmir and Istanbul in Turkey, Piraeus, Corfu and Cefalonia/Argostoli, Greece.
