This year, MSC Cruises will introduce MSC World Europa to its fleet - the first in its new 'World Class' ships. One of the ship’s highlights will be an enhanced MSC Yacht Club.
The Yacht Club “ship within a ship” concept is an all-inclusive cruise experience first introduced by MSC in 2008. The Yacht Club is intended to offer guests with privacy and exclusivity as well as being able to enjoy all the facilities a larger ship can offer.
The MSC Yacht Club on MSC World Europa will offer additional comfort, more public space, expanded outdoor areas, new suites, and a more futuristic design.
Key Highlights of the MSC Yacht Club on MSC World Europa
A reimagined sundeck – Spanning two decks, guests have space to enjoy sea views from the front of the ship. The lower deck allows guests to unwind and sip a glass of champagne from the bar, or a bite to eat from the grill; while the upper deck is home to a private pool and whirlpool where guests can take in the sun on loungers or one of the private cabanas.
Two Owner-Suites exclusive to World Class ships, these multi-room suites total over 1,614 square feet between indoor areas and private balcony. The suites consist of a double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and bathroom complete with full-size imperial bathtub that connect to a separate living-dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows to let the light in. For a "VIP experience," guests can step onto their own balcony with al fresco dining area and whirlpool bath.
Double-balcony Duplex Suites - These two-deck suites offer a whole floor dedicated to relaxation with dining area, lounge and guest washroom. Heading upstairs, the main bedroom has its own bathroom, complete with bathtub. These special duplex suites offer two private sundecks, with the lower deck offering a private whirlpool bath, seating and lounge area, and an upper deck for sunbathing with loungers.
Dedicated massage rooms - Guests staying in the MSC Yacht Club will have access to exclusive massage rooms in the MSC Aurea Spa, as well as unlimited use of the thermal area to pamper the days away.
The MSC Yacht Club Experience
Key-card access exclusively grants those staying in the MSC Yacht Club access to the private lounge, that serves unlimited complimentary drinks and gourmet canapés, and a private fine-dining restaurant. This restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with an a-la-carte menu including chef’s specials, and a variety of gourmet dishes complemented by a wine list.
According to MSC, these "future-forward" designed spaces offer panoramic views from the very front of the ship. After relaxing with a glass of champagne to live music, a traditional afternoon tea, or after a day exploring ashore; guests can retire to their designed suite.
Fully personalized service is provided, with access to a 24-hour butler. A dedicated concierge is on-hand to facilitate any request, from dinner and spa reservations to daily newspaper delivery.
Completing the exclusive feeling is a private sundeck, with pool, sun loungers, shady cabanas, and whirlpool, with a nearby bar and grill for a cocktail, champagne or a light bite.
