MSC Cruises Unveils Alaska Cruises From Seattle for 2026
29.10.2024 - 21:53 / travelpulse.com / North America / Rich Thomaselli
It’s off to Alaska for MSC Cruises, as the MSC Poesia will homeport in Seattle, the company announced on Monday.
Itineraries begin in 2026. Stops will include Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Tracy Arm, and Juneau (Alaska), along with Victoria (British Columbia, Canada).
"Guests from all over the world tell us they want to see Alaska’s beauty firsthand, which makes these itineraries the perfect addition to MSC Cruises’ global portfolio of bucket-list destinations," Lynn Torrent, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, MSC Cruises USA, said. "Seattle will be our fifth U.S. homeport, bringing our signature mix of European style and American comforts to the west coast as we continue to expand our offerings in the North American market."
"We look forward to welcoming guests aboard MSC Poesia, which will spend the summer cruising Alaska and move to Miami for the winter, offering opportunities for travelers to enjoy the coveted experience of transiting the Panama Canal when the ship moves between the east and west coast," Torrent continued.
"The Port of Seattle looks forward to welcoming MSC Cruises and MSC Poesia to Seattle," Stephanie Jones Stebbins, Managing Director, Maritime, Port of Seattle, said. "We know that MSC guests will enjoy exploring our region before and after their Alaska adventure."
"We appreciate MSC’s commitment to sustainability and look forward to MSC Poesia connecting to shore power in Seattle," Jones Stebbins continued.
MSC Poesia is a mid-sized ship perfectly designed to explore the narrow channels of the Inside Passage and glaciers up close. A range of shore excursions will be available.
MSC introduced a new ship, World America, earlier this year.
