MSC Poesia

MSC Poesia is a cruise ship owned and operated by MSC Cruises. She was built in 2008 by the Aker Yards shipyard in St. Nazaire, France. She is a sister ship to MSC Musica, MSC Orchestra and MSC Magnifica. She is the first ship in the MSC Cruises fleet to be officially named outside Italy, at the Port of Dover, England on 5 April 2008, by Sophia Loren. MSC Poesia was the flagship of the company until she was displaced by MSC Fantasia, which entered service in December 2008. In 2008 and 2009, MSC Poesia sailed on a series of 7-night cruises from Venice to Italy, Greece, and Turkey. Since 2010 the ship sails in Northern Europe during the summer season.
