MSC Cruises & MSC Yacht Club - Italian-Style Cruising With A Twist

MSC is a European cruise line and Americans are still a minority of passengers. This is fine for those that want to be part of a European-flavored vacation experience. MSC has retained European and Italian traditions some cruise lines have given up on. These include being greeted by staff upon embarking the ship and being escorted to your stateroom. Announcements, which are multi-lingual, are kept to a minimum.

The cruise line has also invested in cuisine, which is of premium quality featuring Mediterranean cooking; and entertaiment, which has an international flavor given the broad mix of international passengers onboard. The ships reflect the Italian design of their heritage.

MSC Cruises is also noted for a Kids Cruise Free program, as well as a number of theme cruises. It's important for Americans to understand the differences.

Imagine having your own private club and 24/7 concierge on a large ship, accessible by private keycard. MSC Yacht Club guests enjoy 70 suites with their own pool, sun deck, private restaurant and butler service, and enjoy all-inclusive alcoholic beverages and specialty coffees at Yacht Club bars, a private gourmet restaurant and in the suite minibars and in-stateroom spa treatments if desired. The MSC Yacht Club is only available on its newest ships MSC Fantasia, MSC Splendida and MSC Divina.

Upon arrival pierside, your butler grabs your luggage and you're on your way to your stateroom directly. From then on, your butler turns your cruise vacation into a truly unforgettable experience. MSC's personalized Butler Service unpacks and organizes personal belongings and stocks your suite with fine wines, liquors, champagnes and cigars. In your suite, your butler is happy to serve you a traditional English tea or a gourmet meal and even organize a small party for you and your guests. Reservations for spa treatments, shore excursions and restaurant dining are just a request away.

Some of the services MSC yacht Club guests enjoy include:
