MSC Cruises will introduce its MSC Yacht Club experience on the 2027 World Cruise for the first time, offering guests access to exclusive amenities while visiting more than 45 destinations worldwide.
The 121-night voyage onboard MSC Magnifica will traverse 25 countries and mark the first time the cruise line's "ship within a ship" concept appears on a world cruise. The MSC Yacht Club will occupy five upper decks and include 63 suites across five categories. The exclusive area features keycard-only access, 24-hour butler and concierge service, a private restaurant, a lounge, a pool and a sundeck.
MSC Magnifica will undergo refurbishment ahead of the voyage, adding two specialty dining venues new to the ship. Butcher's Cut steakhouse will serve premium cuts of meat in an elegant setting, while Kaito Sushi Bar will offer plates inspired by authentic Asian cuisine.
The itinerary includes a transit through the Panama Canal and overnight stays in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Buenos Aires and Ushuaia, Argentina; Valparaiso, Chile; Papeete, French Polynesia; and Hobart and Sydney, Australia.
The ship's upgrades will include a new MSC Aurea Spa spanning over 2,900 square feet. The spa will feature a sauna with panoramic sea views, two steam rooms, a salt room, Kneipp path and 10 treatment rooms offering LPG Endermologie treatments, acupuncture, massages and facials.
Fitness facilities will also see improvements with an upgraded Technogym fitness center that includes indoor workout areas and dedicated yoga and spinning studios with scenic floor-to-ceiling windows.
Guests can embark from Civitavecchia for Rome; Genoa, Italy; Marseille, France; and Barcelona, Spain on Jan. 4, 5, 6 and 7, 2027 respectively.
