MSC Cruises has opened sales for its Summer 2027 Alaska cruises. Starting April 26, 2027, MSC Poesia will sail from Seattle on seven-night itineraries to Alaska’s top destinations, departing every Monday through September 2027.

MSC Poesia will receive one of the largest upgrades in MSC Cruises’ history, adding the MSC Yacht Club, two specialty restaurants—Butcher’s Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar—the All-Stars Sports Bar, a refreshed MSC Aurea Spa, and an upgraded MSC Gym Powered by Technogym®. Guests will experience these new features during MSC Poesia’s inaugural Alaska season in May 2026, and again in its second season, with bookings for Summer 2027 now open.

Lynn Torrent, President, MSC Cruises North America, said: “People from all over the world want to see Alaska and an MSC Cruise is the best way to do it, especially now that every Alaska sailing will feature our award-winning MSC Yacht Club, new specialty restaurants and upgraded wellness offerings. Demand for Alaska cruises is strong and adding another season in the region is a direct response to the feedback we’re getting from guests and our travel advisors. We know they’ll love the European style and American comfort available aboard MSC Poesia.”
