MSC Cruises has announced a significant refurbishment of MSC Magnifica, introducing the exclusive MSC Yacht Club luxury concept to the ship for the first time. The transformation, set to take place later this year in dry dock, will usher in new levels of comfort and premium service ahead of its relaunch for the summer 2026 season.
This sweeping upgrade will mark MSC Magnifica’s most ambitious refit to date, with renovations focused on enhancing guest experiences in both public and private areas. Central to this transformation is the addition of the MSC Yacht Club—MSC Cruises’ signature all-inclusive luxury offering.
First Yacht Club in the Baltic Region
When the revitalized MSC Magnifica returns to service in 2026, it will offer new itineraries departing from Warnemünde, Germany, sailing to scenic Baltic and Scandinavian destinations. This launch will also mark the first time MSC Yacht Club experiences are available in Northern Europe.
Further expanding its presence, MSC Magnifica will feature the Yacht Club on the MSC World Cruise 2027, providing long-haul travelers with an elevated cruising experience on a global scale.
What to Expect in the New Yacht Club
Spanning five decks, the new MSC Yacht Club aboard Magnifica will deliver an array of upscale amenities and private spaces, including:
- 63 elegantly designed suites, including family-friendly connecting balcony suites and a luxurious Royal Suite complete with a whirlpool and expansive terrace.
- Private sundeck and pool area, featuring a grill restaurant, bar, comfortable loungers, and shaded cabanas for ultimate relaxation.
- Top Sail Lounge, an exclusive retreat offering panoramic ocean views, a serene atmosphere, and curated beverage service.
- Dedicated Yacht Club restaurant, offering round-the-clock dining, a personalized culinary team, and professional sommelier service.
Yacht Club guests will enjoy a refined onboard ambiance, with premium touches such as marble-finished bathrooms, embroidered linens, in-suite Nespresso machines, and a complimentary minibar.
More Enhancements Beyond the Yacht Club
The refit will also see the debut of a brand-new MSC Aurea Spa, spanning nearly 270 square meters. The upgraded wellness area will feature a sauna with ocean views, steam and salt rooms, experience showers, and a herbal tea relaxation lounge.
For fitness enthusiasts, a Technogym-powered fitness center on deck 14 will offer state-of-the-art equipment, panoramic views, and designated spaces for yoga and spinning sessions.
Bookings Now Open
Bookings for the new MSC Yacht Club experience on MSC Magnifica are now open, ahead of its inaugural summer 2026 season in Europe. With expanded destinations and upgraded amenities, the ship promises to offer guests a new level of sophistication and comfort on the high seas.
By combining elegant design, modern wellness facilities, and personalized service, MSC Cruises is positioning MSC Magnifica as a standout choice in its fleet for travelers seeking luxury at sea.
