Poetry is like the sea, moving in harmony with its surroundings and stirring the emotions. Just as poetry brings delight, the MSC Poesia, christened in April 2008, introduces a new dimension of luxury cruising.
Onboard the elegant new ship, you will discover luxury cruising at its best - a spectacular waterfall with bridges in the foyer, a Zen garden in the sushi bar and a serene spa area waiting to pamper you. With 1275 spacious and stylish cabins (80% of them outside), MSC Poesia's interiors are reminiscent of the neoliberty and art deco eras with a modern touch to add to your cruising comfort.
MSC Poesia offers the latest eco-technology to protect the environment, without compromising comfort and luxury. With eight bars onboard (two outdoor), guests can enjoy a wine tasting at the Grappolo d'oro Wine Bar, an exotic cocktail in the plush interior of the Zebra Bar or something a bit lighter at the casual outdoor Mojito bar. Or why not sit back under the stars and enjoy the movies on a spectacular screen over the pool. With four fresh cuisine restaurants onboard, you will be guaranteed many palate pleasing experiences. And for the kids, they can check out the pool and games area, and age appropriate kids clubs for children up to 13.
Overall, the MSC Poesia offers a spectacular cruise holiday that is sure to inspire!
