MSC Cruises has opened bookings for its Summer 2028 Alaska season. MSC Poesia will sail weekly seven night itineraries from Seattle through Sept. 18, 2028, visiting ports across Alaska.

“Alaska has quickly become one of our most popular destinations, and opening sales for a third season reflects the strong demand we’ve seen since launching there this year,” said Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises. “Expanding our program for the 2028 summer season gives guests even more opportunities to explore this extraordinary region and plan their holiday in advance. Following her recent upgrade, MSC Poesia will offer guests the finest hospitality MSC Cruises is known for, with enhanced facilities and the newly introduced MSC Yacht Club.”

The ship also added two specialty restaurants, Butcher’s Cut steakhouse and Kaito Sushi Bar.

Additional upgrades include the MSC Aurea Spa, an expanded MSC Gym Powered by Technogym, a Gentleman’s Barber, new fitness studios, and the Top 15 Exclusive Solarium for Aurea guests.
