MSC Cruises opens sales for second Alaska season

MSC Cruises has opened sales for its summer 2027 Alaska itineraries, its second season in the region.

Between April and September, MSC Poesia will homeport in Seattle and offer seven-night itineraries departing every Monday.

Destinations will include Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Tracy Arm and Juneau in Alaska, along with Victoria in British Columbia, Canada.

Prior to the summer 2027 season, Poesia will sail an 18-night repositioning cruise from Miami to Seattle on April 8, 2027 with a Panama Canal crossing.

The ship will undergo “one of the largest upgrades” in the company’s history ahead of its first Alaska season in summer 2026, which will add the luxury all-inclusive MSC Yacht Club on board for the first time with 69 suites and private venues, alongside two speciality restaurants.

MSC Cruises chief executive Gianni Onorato said: “We are delighted to offer a second season in Alaska following the high demand and enthusiasm we have seen since the launch of our first Alaska in 2026.

“As a global company, we are proud to offer an unparalleled choice of destinations and embarkation ports from every corner of the world.

“Expanding in this region allows us to offer our guests even more opportunities to explore this remarkable destination while enjoying the world-class experiences that MSC Cruises is known for.”
