MSC Cruises to Refresh Yacht Club Restaurant on Fantasia Class Ships

MSC Cruises has unveiled a refreshed design for the MSC Yacht Club Restaurant aboard its Fantasia Class ships, giving guests more options for its luxury “ship-within-a-ship” concept.

The new look will gradually roll out across all four Fantasia Class ships. Refurbishment of the restaurant aboard MSC Fantasia is scheduled for completion in December 2026, followed by MSC Divina in April 2027 and MSC Preziosa in February 2028.

The upgraded restaurant experience is already available on board the MSC Splendida, following the ship’s recent refurbishment at the Palumbo Malta Shipyard. The enhancements form part of MSC’s broader fleet modernization program, which aims to elevate the guest experience across several ships.

Within the redesigned setting, the cruise line says MSC Yacht Club guests can enjoy an elevated dining experience featuring refined menus, dedicated culinary staff available around the clock and an onboard sommelier providing wine recommendations.

The private restaurant is one of several exclusive amenities included in the MSC Yacht Club experience. The concept offers keycard-only access to private areas of the ship, including a dedicated lounge, restaurant and sundeck with whirlpools, along with 24-hour butler and concierge service and spacious luxury suites.
