MSC Poesia is a Musica-class ocean cruise ship operated by MSC Cruises. Built at Saint-Nazaire and entering service in 2008, she underwent a major refurbishment at Palumbo Malta Shipyard in 2026 before beginning MSC Cruises' first Alaska season from Seattle.
MSC's current specification publishes 92,627 GT, a length of 293 metres, beam of 32 metres, 1,223 cabins, capacity for 3,223 guests, 1,039 crew members and a maximum speed of 23 knots.
2026 transformation
MSC Poesia completed a major dry-dock refurbishment in Malta in April 2026. The programme introduced the MSC Yacht Club, including 63 suites in MSC's current post-refit description, alongside new and enhanced dining, spa and fitness facilities. The ship then repositioned to Seattle and began seven-night Alaska cruises on 11 May 2026.
Cabin configuration
MSC's current deck-plan documentation distinguishes between 1,275 cabins in the pre-refit configuration and 1,223 cabins from summer 2026. Deck7 therefore uses 1,223 cabins for the current ship record.
Identification
MSC Poesia carries IMO number 9387073. Current AIS sources identify MMSI 355931000, call sign 3EPL4 and Panama flag.
Environmental technology
MSC Poesia is conventionally fuelled and is not LNG-powered. MSC previously identified the vessel as having been retrofitted for shore-power capability, allowing its engines to be switched off while connected to suitable shoreside electricity infrastructure. Ship-specific EGCS configuration remains unconfirmed in this Deck7 record.
