The world of luxury cruising is about to enter a new era. MSC Cruises has officially announced that its acclaimed MSC Yacht Club — the brand’s signature “ship-within-a-ship” concept — will make its world cruise debut in 2027 aboard the newly enhanced MSC Magnifica.
For the first time ever, world travellers can embark on a 121-night global voyage that combines exploration, indulgence, and exclusivity like never before — visiting 45 destinations across 25 countries in Europe, Africa, South America, Oceania, and North America without ever having to unpack twice.
A Floating World of Elegance
Guests booking the 2027 MSC World Cruise will be among the first to experience the MSC Yacht Club’s private sanctuary of sophistication at sea. This exclusive enclave offers keycard-only access, a 24-hour butler and concierge, and a private restaurant, lounge, pool, and sundeck reserved solely for Yacht Club members.
Spanning five upper decks, the MSC Yacht Club on MSC Magnifica will feature 63 lavish suites across five categories, delivering an experience tailored for every kind of luxury traveller — from explorers seeking serenity to couples chasing the world’s most breathtaking sunsets.
New Culinary Adventures at Sea
Culinary excellence takes centre stage aboard the enhanced Magnifica, where guests can savour world-class flavours at two new specialty restaurants:
-
Butcher’s Cut – A New York-style steakhouse offering premium, hand-selected cuts of meat paired with an extensive wine list.
-
Kaito Sushi Bar – A refined Japanese dining experience serving fresh sushi and sashimi inspired by authentic Asian cuisine.
