with a cruise advisor

Launched in 2008 and last refurbished in 2021, MSC Poesia offers some unique onboard amenities, like a sushi bar (which touts its own Zen garden) and the laid-back Mojito cocktail bar. Guests can unwind at the MSC Aurea Spa or by one of the three pool areas, while those looking to be more active can take advantage of the jogging track, mini-golf course or Sports Center. Nighttime entertainment includes a variety of shows, dancing in the nightclub and table games at the casino.

The ship offers four cabin categories: Interior, Ocean View, Balcony and Suite. The majority of cabins offer balconies, but those who splurge on a suite will receive more space and bathrooms with tubs. All staterooms come equipped with minibars and TVs.

Still, the ship offers just five dining venues. And with 3,013 passengers and about 987 staff members, service isn’t as specialized as that of other mainstream competitors. 

MSC Poesia departs from a variety of ports for MSC's Grand Voyages and sailings in Turkey, Greece and Northern Europe.

What does MSC Poesia offer?

At first glance, it may seem that all cruises are the same, but when we delve into the technical details, the differences that make each ship unique are revealed. Today, we are going to talk about the MSC Poesia , a cruise ship operated by MSC Cruises that has been in operation since 2008. Oh, and it's worth noting that it is flagged under Panama. Let's not speak in haste; let the numbers speak. This ship has a gross tonnage of 92,627 tons , which basically gives us an idea of its size and capacity. With a length of 293.80 meters and a beam of 32.20 meters , it's evident that we are talking about a sea giant. The height of the ship reaches 59.64 meters , with 16 decks , 13 of which are designated for passenger use. For the curious who want to know at what speed this cruise ship can sail, the maximum speed is 23 knots . And if you're concerned about rocking on the high seas, the ship is stabilized with 2 fins to ensure a more comfortable journey. Let's talk about electricity, something we don't want to be without at any moment. The cabins have an electrical voltage of 110/220 volts , sufficient for charging all those devices that accompany us nowadays. The passenger capacity of the MSC Poesia is 3,223 people , who are attended to by a crew of approximately 1,039 members . As for the distribution of cabins, there are 1,275 cabins , of which 17 are adapted for people with disabilities or reduced mobility. For those who are concerned about where they'll fall asleep after a day full of activities, there are 809 cabins with balconies , 69 cabins with ocean views , 104 with obstructed views , and 275 interiors . Each type of cabin offers different experiences and amenities, from air conditioning , interactive TV , mini bar to Wi-Fi connection (for a fee) . For those traveling with family or in groups, some of these options are ideal, like the 138 family cabins resulting from the combination of 2 connected cabins .

A detail that doesn't go unnoticed is the quantity and diversity of common spaces . This is a cruise ship with 4 restaurants , 10 bars , 3 pools (including one for children), and 7 hot tubs . Additionally, the cruise ship offers a medical center , an excursion office , and several lounges and conference rooms , such as the Pigalle Lounge and the Poesia Meeting Center. Of course, one cannot talk about a cruise without mentioning the food. The MSC Poesia offers 4 different restaurants , allowing for a gastronomic variety that caters to the tastes and needs of all passengers. Mobility within the ship is another aspect to consider. The MSC Poesia has 13 elevators , which facilitates movement between the different areas of the cruise. If you catch a cold or sprain an ankle while dancing, it's good to know that the cruise has its own medical center , sufficiently equipped to handle minor ailments and emergencies.

Technical characteristics

List of restaurants.

The MSC Poesia features several restaurants, each with its own identity. From specialized kitchens to more versatile options, the vessel has placed great emphasis on providing a comprehensive gastronomic experience. Each restaurant has its own style, in terms of decoration and design, creating distinct atmospheres that suit the theme of the food offered. Capacity and Location

An important feature to consider is the capacity of each restaurant, as this can influence availability and the atmosphere of the place. Some restaurants are more spacious and ideal for group meals, while others are more intimate and might be better suited for romantic dinners or smaller gatherings. In terms of location, the restaurants are distributed across different decks of the ship, allowing easy access from any point on the vessel. Cuisine Types

One of the most interesting aspects is the diversity of cuisines offered. From classic Italian dishes to sushi options, there's something for every palate. This focus on gastronomic diversity ensures that passengers can enjoy a varied culinary experience during their journey. List of Restaurants on MSC Poesia Below, we detail the restaurants available on the MSC Poesia:

• Il Palladio : Located on deck 6, Il Palladio has a capacity for 1,120 people. This Dante-style restaurant is particularly known for its focus on Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. If you love pasta and other Southern European dishes, you'll find a great repertoire here.

Bars and Lounges Listings

One of the key elements in any cruise experience is undoubtedly the culinary and entertainment offerings that can be enjoyed on board. On the MSC Poesia, you'll find an interesting variety of bars and lounges that cater to different moods, company, and times of day. Today, we'll focus on breaking down these options, discussing their style, usefulness in different contexts, and the beverages and snacks they offer. General Information about Bars and Lounges

On the MSC Poesia, there's a sort of ecosystem of bars and lounges ranging from cafés to wine bars, smoker lounges, and poolside bars. For cocktail lovers, wine enthusiasts, or just someone seeking a good cup of coffee, there's something for every taste. Beyond the drinks, these spaces also offer various atmospheres, from quieter places to relax to lively lounges with live music and dance floors. If the goal is to have a pleasant conversation, the reception bars are often the preferred spot. While the snack bars are the quintessential meeting point after excursions or daytime activities, providing an opportunity to enjoy some light bites. But if a more refined ambiance is sought, the wine bar is a haven of calm and good taste. List of Bars and Lounges on MSC Poesia

Let's dissect the options one by one. This isn't about giving scores or saying which is better or worse. The idea is to understand what each one offers so you can decide where you want to spend your time.

It's essential to note that while each bar has its own character, the level of service in all of them meets the standards that fulfill the general expectations of what a cruise of this caliber should offer. Now that you know the particulars of each one, you can decide which one suits your plans and mood best at any given moment.
