MSC Cruises announced on Wednesday that there would be upgrades to the MSC Yacht Club Restaurant across the line’s Fantasia Class ships.
MSC Cruises said that a contemporary and elegant new design will be introduced with the experience already available on MSC Splendida.
“We have been undertaking a comprehensive refurbishment and upgrade programme across many of its ships – a significant investment in continuously modernising its fleet and enhancing the guest experience,” it said.
“Many of these upgrades relate to the line’s award-winning all-inclusive luxury cruising concept, the MSC Yacht Club, which has been added to all four Musica class ships, and now with an enhanced MSC Yacht Club Restaurant on all four Fantasia class ships.”
MSC Cruises said that guests sailing in the MSC Yacht Club will be able to enjoy these redesigned restaurants which will offer a fresh and elegant dining atmosphere.
“The new interior embraces a contemporary and refined aesthetic featuring a modern layout which incorporates darker tones, soft textures and sophisticated lighting, creating an intimate atmosphere.”
MSC Cruises noted that vertical elements and subtle partitions add structure to the space, enhancing privacy while maintaining openness and fluidity, while panoramic sea views remain a defining feature.
“The newly upgraded MSC Yacht Club restaurant is now available on board MSC Splendida, following the ship’s completion of her refurbishment at the Palumbo Malta Shipyard and has since begun her winter sailings in the Mediterranean,” MSC Cruises said.
“The refurbishment will be rolled out across the line’s Fantasia Class ships with MSC Fantasia to be completed in December 2026, followed by MSC Divina in April 2027 and MSC Preziosa in February 2028.”
MSC Cruises added that within the redesigned setting, the MSC Yacht Club restaurant on board delivers an unforgettable dining experience, combining exceptional food and personalised service.
“Guests can choose from a variety of sophisticated menus and enjoy a dedicated 24/7 culinary staff as well as a sommelier on hand, ensuring an elevated dining experience that reflects the premium identity the MSC Yacht Club experience is known for.”
MSC Cruises said that a private restaurant is just one exclusive amenity on offer to guests sailing in the MSC Yacht Club. “The ‘ship-within-a-ship’ concept provides guests the ultimate comfort, privacy and personalised service while on holiday with keycard-only access to an array of private venues.
“Guests can enjoy 24-hour butler and concierge service, spacious and elegantly appointed suites, and access to a private oasis of facilities, including a dedicated restaurant, lounge, private sundeck with whirlpools, and grill restaurant and bar, all seamlessly integrated within the ship,” added MSC Cruises.
MSC Cruises noted that there are other upgrades to Fantasia Class ships.
“Additional enhancements to Fantasia class ships include a redesigned Future Cruise office onboard, where guests can plan and book their next cruise while on their current voyage, offering exclusive advantages,” it said.
“The newly designed office has been expanded and now features a contemporary design with modern and elegant furnishings, additional seating and breathtaking sea views – offering guests a comfortable and enjoyable experience as they book their next cruise.
“The new Future Cruise office is currently available on MSC Divina, MSC Preziosa and MSC Splendida, while MSC Fantasia will complete her upgrades later this year,” it said.
