MSC Poesia

Poetry is like the sea, lulling with gentle swells and stirring the emotions. Just as poetry brings pleasure, the magnificent MSC Poesia cruise ship introduces a new dimension of enjoyment on the high seas.

The MSC Poesia, our third Musica class ship, offers the latest eco-technology to safeguard the environment, without compromising comfort and luxury. Our beautiful ship is built to the highest and most demanding ecological standards, resulting in a truly modern cruise ship. Onboard you will discover luxury cruising at its best - a spectacular waterfall with bridges in the foyer, a Zen garden in the sushi bar and a serene 12,000 square foot spa. Then imagine yourself on a private balcony stateroom overlooking the ocean and a star-filled sky.

Designed with the hallmark Italian flair and elegance that guests associate with the MSC Cruises, staterooms onboard MSC Poesia are spacious and elegant and most have private balconies. Staterooms are elegantly decorated and passengers will appreciate the attention to detail and craftsmanship throughout the whole ship. Guests can stimulate the palate in a wine-tasting bar or relax in the casual Mojito bar. Why not enjoy an open air cinema experience under the stars on an immense screen by the pool? Thinking of brining the kids along? MSC offers an affordable family vacation where kids cruise free! They will go crazy for the Stone Age dinosaur-themed play area and even teens are catered for in the Teen’s Club.

Whether a luxury escape, family vacation, a romantic break away or simply to rediscover your sense of self, the enchanting MSC Poesia offers an unparalleled cruise vacation that is sure to inspire.
