MSC Cruises has announced that MSC Magnifica, is now officially under refurbishment as one of the two Musica Class ships receiving major enhancements at the Maltese shipyard, Palumbo Malta.
MSC Magnifica will receive the MSC Yacht Club with 63 new suites, two new specialty dining venues — Butcher’s Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar – along with an enhanced MSC Aurea Spa and Technogym® Fitness Centre complete with Gentleman’s Barber, different workout studios and outdoor Aurea area.
The work is expected to be completed in December, with the full MSC Yacht Club experience available in Summer 2026 when MSC Magnifica sails her Northern Europe itineraries.
MSC Magnifica has been in service since 2010 and is the first of two Musica Class ships due to enter dry dock at Palumbo Malta Shipyard in Malta for such an upgrade.
MSC Cruises’ CEO Gianni Onorato said: “These upgrades highlight our commitment to offering guests the best possible experience and facilities across our fleet. By introducing our MSC Yacht Club to these ships – along with new restaurants, gyms, and wellness spaces – we are giving guests more exclusivity and choice than ever before.
“The MSC Yacht Club is one of our most highly regarded products, known for its exceptional service, elegant spaces, and exclusive amenities and we are proud to bring this experience to MSC Magnifica and MSC Poesia – in time for our first Alaska season and the 2027 MSC World Cruise.”
