MSC Cruises is bringing its popular Yacht Club concept to two more ships in its fleet.

The cruise line announced that MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra will both receive the “ship-within-a-ship” concept during scheduled refurbishments between late 2026 and early 2027.

The upgrades will complete the rollout of Yacht Club across the entire Musica class, with all four ships in the series offering the premium enclave once the work is finished.

MSC Musica will get its Yacht Club installation first in late 2026, just ahead of its South American deployment. MSC Orchestra will follow in the first quarter of 2027 before it heads to the Mediterranean for a season sailing from Bari, Italy.

What This Means for MSC’s Fleet

Once both ships are complete, 19 vessels across the MSC Cruises fleet will feature Yacht Club accommodations. The two Musica-class ships join sister vessels MSC Poesia and MSC Magnifica, which already offer the premium experience.

Both MSC Musica and MSC Orchestra measure 92,409 gross tons and currently carry 3,223 passengers. They’re considerably smaller than MSC’s newest ships, like MSC World America, which features the largest Yacht Club in the fleet.

MSC Cruises is always looking for new ways to enhance the onboard experience, striving to create exceptional and elevated concepts to ensure that guests will remember their cruise as the ultimate vacation experience,” the cruise line said in a statement.

The company hasn’t disclosed how many Yacht Club suites will be added to each ship or whether other public areas will be modified during the refurbishments. 

What Yacht Club Passengers Get

The Yacht Club concept gives guests access to exclusive areas separate from the ship’s main public spaces. This includes a suite-only restaurant, private lounge, and dedicated sun deck.

Accommodations feature larger suites with 24-hour butler service and concierge assistance. In-suite amenities include daily refreshments, premium bath products, and packing and unpacking services.

Additional perks include private shopping appointments in onboard boutiques outside regular hours, customized shore excursions, and private transportation in select ports.

MSC Cruises plans to continue adding Yacht Club to future ships, including upcoming World-class vessels scheduled to debut through 2031.
