Whether a luxury escape, family vacation, a romantic getaway or simply to rediscover your sense of self, the enchanting MSC Poesia offers a cruise vacation that is sure to inspire.

Who will like sailing on MSC Poesia

With its international flair, MSC Poesia appeals to a multinational crowd. You can expect most announcements to be delivered in at least five different languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French and German.

In general, the European crowd likes cruising at a much more relaxed pace. Dinners are eaten bit more leisurely, and portions are smaller than Americans might expect, but that just means you'll leave feeling pleasantly sated rather than overstuffed and needing a Tums. Crew members do their best to seat you with other English-speakers if you are looking for fluent conversation. Most passengers are in the 40- to 60-year-old range, with many couples and more families in the summer when school is out.
