This move marks a major investment in the Musica class, ensuring that all four sister ships - including MSC Poesia and MSC Magnifica - will offer the line's premier experience by early 2027.

The expansion means the MSC Yacht Club will be available on 19 ships fleet-wide, catering to the growing demand for all-inclusive, high-end cruising within a large-ship environment.
