MSC Magnifica completes refurbishments ahead of winter Med sailings

MSC Magnifica has completed its two-month dry dock at Palumbo Malta Shipyard ahead of winter sailings in the Mediterranean.

The ship now features two new speciality dining venues, Butcher’s Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar, and updated MSC Aurea Spa and fitness centre.

The line’s ship-within-a-ship experience, MSC Yacht Club, will be available from summer 2026 when it embarks on Northern Europe itineraries from Warnemunde, Germany.

Magnifica will operate three world cruises over the next three years, a 131-night voyage in January 2026, a 121-night cruise and a 115-night sailing in 2028.

Sister ship MSC Poesia will enter dry dock in the same shipyard in February 2026 for similar upgrades ahead of its Alaska debut in May 2028.
