MSC Yacht Club Expansion Completes Musica-Class Upgrades
MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra will add the private MSC Yacht Club enclave ahead of late-2026 and early-2027 sailings.
MSC Musica
MSC Cruises has confirmed plans to extend its MSC Yacht Club concept to two more ships—MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra, bringing the private enclave to the full Musica class. The multi-ship refurbishment effort now places the line’s “ship within a ship” offering across all four vessels in the series.
MSC Musica will debut the MSC Yacht Club ahead of her South America season in late 2026. MSC Orchestra will follow in early 2027, launching from Bari, Italy, in time for spring Mediterranean sailings. Once both upgrades are complete, MSC Yacht Club will be available on 19 ships across the fleet.
The MSC Yacht Club operates as a self-contained area within each ship, with a dedicated suite inventory, private restaurant and lounge, and an exclusive sundeck. Guests also receive 24-hour butler service and access to a dedicated concierge team, while remaining steps away from the broader dining, entertainment, and leisure options onboard.

On both MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra, the Yacht Club spaces will be fully integrated into the existing ship layouts as part of scheduled refurbishments rather than new-build additions. While MSC has not released suite counts for the two ships, the Yacht Club format typically includes a mix of interior, balcony, and larger suite categories clustered around the private venues.
In addition to the physical spaces, the experience includes a fully bundled service model. Yacht Club guests receive daily in-suite amenities, including fresh fruit and confections, a complimentary bottle of premium spirits selected by the guest, and unpacking and packing services. Private shopping appointments in onboard boutiques outside standard hours are also part of the offering, along with access to MED by MSC, the cruise line’s proprietary line of organic bath amenities developed specifically for Yacht Club accommodations.
MSC Musica will operate in South America from November 2026 through April 2027, including Brazilian itineraries and eight- to nine-night holiday sailings to Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Punta del Este over Christmas and New Year. The season wraps with a 16-night transatlantic crossing from Santos to Genoa, departing April 1, 2027.
MSC Orchestra will introduce the Yacht Club during Mediterranean sailings from Bari between March 13 and April 24, 2027. Itineraries during that period include calls in Türkiye, with stops in Izmir and Istanbul, as well as Piraeus and Corfu.
Sales for MSC Yacht Club suites on both ships are expected to open shortly.
