These cruises will include longer voyages to the Southern Caribbean and Central America, offering guests extended itineraries with a variety of destinations. The ship will also operate an 18-night Panama Canal cruise before returning to Alaska, giving travelers an unforgettable cruise experience.<\/p>\n

MSC Cruises also revealed that the MSC Poesia will undergo a major refurbishment ahead of its first Alaska season. The upgrades, scheduled for May 2026 in Europe, will include the ship-within-a-ship MSC Yacht Club<\/a>. Guests will also enjoy new features such as two specialty restaurants, a new sports bar, and upgraded wellness spaces. These improvements are designed to enhance the onboard experience and provide world-class amenities for every traveler.<\/p>\n

Built in 2008, the MSC Poesia has been refreshed to offer modern facilities while maintaining its elegant design. With updated dining, entertainment, and wellness options, the ship promises comfort, style, and excitement for every guest. MSC Cruises\u2019 return to Alaska in 2027 ensures travelers can enjoy stunning landscapes, memorable excursions, and top-tier onboard experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
