What to Expect from Your Yacht Club Cabin

Types of Suites

In-Room Services and Amenities

In your Yacht Club cabin, you can expect the following:

• Egyptian cotton sheets and a selection of pillow options
• A fully-stocked minibar

Enjoying the MSC Yacht Club Advantage

Benefit from added perks compared to other cabin types, like priority check-in/check-out and priority disembarkation at each port. Access to exclusive venues, such as the private Yacht Club lounge, pool, and restaurant, enhances your cruising experience and creates a personalized atmosphere.

These advantages, paired with the all-inclusive fares and premium drinks package, help make the MSC Yacht Club category worth the extra price tag. Many guests choose this category when they prefer to be away from crowds yet still on a large cruise ship.
