MSC Cruises is a Swiss global cruise line that appeals to many avid cruisers on a wide variety of budgets. With their attention to detail and fun itineraries, it’s easy to see why. And, if you’re looking for luxury experiences, many can be found on any MSC Cruises ship, too.

To experience the latest luxuries, book your next trip on one of their latest ships: the MSC World Europa, MSC Euribia, or MSC Seascape. Also, you need to plan early to make the most of what’s available. If you are going on your dream trip and can splurge on making special memories, here are some indulgences that are more than worth it.

If you can, book a suite in the MSC Yacht Club to feel like a millionaire for your entire trip. As its name implies, it is almost like being on a private yacht, yet with the benefit of having what’s essentially a moving city at your fingertips.

The special treatment starts with priority boarding and disembarkation. Once you arrive at your suite in The Yacht Club, you will be introduced to a dedicated butler who can help you 24 hours per day, and your own concierge team can help you with plans and so much more.

If you want to stay up late or sleep in and lounge in your suite, you can order premium room service and enjoy meals that fit your dietary needs that are delivered any time of day.

Also, you don’t have to deal with crowds within the exclusive areas for MSC Yacht Club guests. If you want, you can enjoy every meal at the exclusive fine dining restaurant that only Yacht Club guests can dine in, or your concierge will make the best reservations at any of the eateries on the ship.

Yacht Club cruisers are given VIP seating for shows and other entertainment. There’s a private sun deck, and many guests enjoy the panoramic sunset views at the spacious Top Sail Lounge.

If you’re going on a cruise to The Bahamas, one privilege of booking your stay in the MSC Yacht Club is exclusive access to the Ocean House Beach on Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, their private island in the Bahamas. Guests get transported to this private beach where they can enjoy lounge chairs and umbrellas at no additional cost, and towels are available on the beach.

Yacht Club guests have their own place to eat, the Ocean House Restaurant, where they can dine on a comfortable, shaded porch. Vegan options are available, and it’s important to always let your waiter know about any dietary needs you have when entering the restaurant.

After being served a multiple course meal, those in the Yacht Club can relax in one of the well-appointed Ocean View Yacht Club Cabanas or Beachfront Yacht Club Cabanas. They cost extra but are close to the beach with amenities such as four sets of snorkeling gear if guests are feeling adventurous.
