MSC Cruises Opens 2028 Cruises to Alaska for Bookings

MSC Cruises will have MSC Poesia sailing to Alaska for the third straight year in 2028, and these newly announced cruises are now open for bookings.

MSC Cruises will kick off its 2028 Alaska cruise season on April 24 when MSC Poesia departs from Seattle on a seven-night cruise. The ship will spend the next five months sailing to the 49th state, giving guests access to breathtaking glaciers and abundant wildlife. The season will run through September 18, 2028.

MSC’s sailings to Alaska in 2028 will visit the following ports:

• Ketchikan
• Icy Strait Point
• Tracy Arm
• Juneau
• Victoria, British Columbia

The cruise ship recently completed a major renovation and now features a brand-new MSC Yacht Club. The Yacht Club is the cruise line’s ship-within-a-ship concept. It has 69 suites and comes with 24-hour butler and concierge service.

The enhancements also include the addition of two new specialty dining venues. Butcher’s Cut is an authentic American-style steakhouse, and Kaito Sushi Bar, inspired by the Far East, is where guests can savor expertly crafted sushi and exquisite authentic Asian dishes.

Lynn Torrent, President, MSC Cruises North America, gave the following statement:

“Alaska continues to captivate travelers from around the world, and we’re excited to open sales for our Summer 2028 season. Since launching our Alaska program, we’ve seen firsthand how much guests value the region’s incredible scenery, wildlife and sense of adventure, along with MSC Cruises’ blend of European style and American comfort.

“MSC Poesia offers an unforgettable way to experience it all, combining spectacular glacier viewing and immersive shore experiences with exceptional dining, entertainment, relaxation, and a brand new MSC Yacht Club on board. It’s a holiday that brings everything guests are looking for together in one remarkable journey.”

Matias Chimicz, the cruise director on MSC Poesia, said that witnessing glaciers up close, spotting wildlife, and slowing down and soaking in the scenery are some of the moments that resonate most with guests who sail to Alaska.

MSC Poesia also offers world-class entertainment at sea with live production shows and live music all around the ship. This includes Dirty Dancing: In Concert, the live-to-film concert experience that brings the beloved movie to life with live singers, dancers and musicians.

MSC Poesia’s 2028 Alaska season is part of MSC Cruises’ North America Deployment. The cruise line will offer cruises from Miami, Port Canaveral, Galveston, La Romana, and Seattle.
