As luxury travel advisors, we are thrilled to highlight our partnership with MSC Cruises and its crown jewel: the MSC Yacht Club. This exclusive “ship within a ship” concept combines private yacht intimacy with large-ship amenities, creating a deluxe experience at sea. After visiting the ships and touring them around, we can finally tell you all about it, and why we recommend it.
What is MSC Yacht Club?
The MSC Yacht Club is a private enclave found on MSC’s latest and most innovative ships, including the MSC Seascape, MSC Seashore, MSC Virtuosa, MSC World Europa, and the newest ship of the brand, the MSC World America, deployed this 2025.
This keycard-access-only area offers an intimate luxury experience while maintaining access to all the excitement the rest of the ship has to offer. Your private club at sea, complete with dedicated spaces and personalized service.
Located on the prestigious foredecks, the Yacht Club provides panoramic views and several exclusive venues including the Top Sail Lounge, a private restaurant, and a secluded pool deck with dedicated swimming areas and whirlpool baths.
What is the MSC Yacht Club benefit?
We would say the MSC Yacht Club‘s top selling point comes in its privacy and exclusivity. Enjoy the Yahct life’s customized, VIP access, within the expansive entertainment and amenities onboard a large family cruise ship.
Stepping into the Yacht Club you are in a private haven of comfort with butler service 24/7, dedicated concierge support, and priority access at all times: From embarkation and disembarkation to entertainment venues and specialty dining reservations.
Your All-inclusive experience comes with a premium beverage package featuring top-shelf spirits and fine wines, plus gratuities, wi-fi packages, and your butler taking care of everything – from unpacking and repacking, to delivering your morning coffee and newspaper.
Yacht Club’s guests receive up to 40% discount and privileged access to the spa, including complimentary thermal suite use; plus their very own dedicated bar, lounge, and sundeck. Book a private fitness class with your trainer, or go on a private shopping experience at the port – the Yacht Club life is all about letting you craft your perfect vacation in comfort and style.
Once on shore, enjoy curated shore excursions everywhere you go. If that includes the Caribbean, be ready to soak in the views, beachfront cabanas, and complimentary amenities of the private Ocean House Beach, on the Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
MSC Yacht Club Suites
Now, let’s talk about accommodations. Entirely Suite based, these go from interior to deluxe balcony staterooms, to Executive and Royal Suites categories.
At 570-square-foot the Owner’s Suite stands out as the crown jewel, offering spacious living areas with panoramic glass walls, a private balcony with its own whirlpool bath, a walk-in closet, a personalized mini-bar, a spacious marble bathroom with a full tub, and premium toiletries.

Two separate bedrooms with their own marble bathrooms and a private balcony on both levels guarantee comfort and privacy for everyone.
