Poetry is like the sea, lulling with gentle swells and stirring the emotions. Just as poetry brings pleasure, the magnificent MSC Poesia cruise ship introduces a new dimension of enjoyment in her inaugural 2008 season. Onboard our 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 13,000 square foot spa. Then imagine yourself on a private balcony overlooking the ocean and a star-filled sky, accompanied by the sounds of a Verdi aria.

The MSC Poesia, our third Musica class ship, offers the latest eco-technology to safeguard the environment, without compromising comfort and luxury. Suites and staterooms are spacious and elegant, most with private balconies. Guests can enjoy a wine tasting bar or casual outdoor Mojito bar and movies under the stars on an immense screen by the pool. And for the kids, we offer a delightful Stone Age dinosaur-themed play area.

Overall, the MSC Poesia offers an unparalleled cruise vacation that is sure to inspire.
