What is the MSC Yacht Club? Take a look at MSC Cruises’ luxury suite area

MSC Cruises sails nearly two dozen beautiful ships from home ports around the world, but their inviting sun decks can be crowded, and you're likely to encounter queues for dinner, shows and guest services.

The trick to creating a more luxurious experience on this big-ship cruise line is to book a stay in the line's Yacht Club. This upscale enclave within MSC Cruises ' larger ships offers guests more spacious accommodations, butler service and dedicated restaurants and lounges — even coffee delivered to your room each morning, just the way you like it.

Because of the Yacht Club , MSC can offer an inviting experience for cruisers who like big-ship cruising but crave more elevated accommodations, dining and amenities. MSC Cruises was one of the first lines to introduce this ship-within-a-ship concept, along with Norwegian Cruise Line . Now other popular cruise lines, such as Royal Caribbean , also have adopted it.

The Yacht Club section on several of MSC Cruises' ships offers gated access to semi-private dining, butler service and more, but it comes at a price. Find out how much you can expect to pay and what you'll get for your money.

What are the MSC Yacht Club perks?

All stays in the Yacht Club include priority check-in and checkout; priority disembarkation and boarding on shore excursions days; free premium alcohol and Wi-Fi packages; a bathrobe and slippers; complimentary access to the Aurea Spa thermal suite; 24-hour concierge and butler services (dining and spa reservations, unpacking and repacking, morning coffee delivery, etc.); a free daily in-cabin newspaper of your choice, delivered; and the ability to change your cruise one time without penalty.

Yacht Club cruisers are also entitled to discounts of 10% on spa treatments, 20% on specialty dining packages and 40% on spa packages.

In addition, passengers booked in the Yacht Club have access to their own dedicated bar, lounge and restaurant, as well as a semi-private outdoor bar, pool and hot tubs, all on an exclusive sun deck. When ships dock at the line's private island, Ocean Cay Marine Reserve , Yacht Club passengers have private beach and restaurant access .

In their cabins, Yacht Club cruisers will find a pillow menu, memory foam mattresses, high-quality linens, bathrooms with marble floors, a specialty coffee maker, complimentary open minibar access, one gratis bottle of spirits (choose from a list of available options), free one-time snacks, 24-hour room service and nightly turn-down chocolates from Venchi, an Italian chocolatier that partners with the cruise line.

Which MSC cruise ships have the Yacht Club?

Thirteen ships in the MSC Cruises fleet have the Yacht Club on board:

MSC Bellissima
MSC Euribia
MSC Fantasia
MSC Grandiosa
MSC Meraviglia
MSC Preziosa
MSC Seascape.
MSC Seashore.
MSC Seaside
MSC Seaview
MSC Splendida
MSC Virtuosa
MSC World Europa

Upcoming vessel MSC World America (2025) also will have the Yacht Club.

The largest Yacht Club in the fleet is on MSC World Europa, offering 152 suites. The second-largest is found on the line's two Seaside EVO Class ships, MSC Seashore and MSC Seascape, which each have 131 suites.

MSC Yacht Club cabins

All accommodations in the Yacht Club are labeled as suites, even though they comprise some standard cabin types. The specific stateroom types offered will vary by ship, but in general, they range from windowless interior cabins and deluxe balcony rooms to Executive and Royal Suites with more space, walk-in closets and bathrooms with both showers and bathtubs.

New to the fleet with the line's World Class are 1,600-square-foot Owner Suites, which include multi-room layouts, walk-in closets, bathtubs and balconies, each with a whirlpool and alfresco dining area.

Also new are Duplex Suites, offering two decks of space, with the bedroom and bathroom upstairs and a dining area, living room and guest bath downstairs. These also include two private sun decks with loungers, one of which boasts a whirlpool.

How much does it cost to stay in the MSC Yacht Club?

As you might expect, the cost to stay in the Yacht Club depends on several factors, including cabin type, the length of the sailing and where you're going and when. However, in line with the rest of the brand's pricing, a stay in the Yacht Club is an excellent value when you compare it to stays in other lines' dedicated suite areas or to luxury cruise prices.

I priced out several sailings departing over the next two years on some of the line's newest and largest ships. This is what was available at press time. (Note: MSC Cruises' website will only allow me to choose a general Yacht Club designation when booking. That means a guaranteed suite within the Yacht Club, but you won't know what type it is until closer to sailing.)

7-night Caribbean and Bahamas cruise on MSC Seascape: $6,538 (including taxes) for two adults, round trip from Miami, March 16-23, 2024
11-night Bermuda, Canada and New England cruise on MSC Meraviglia: $9,958 (including taxes) for two adults, round trip from Brooklyn, New York, Sept. 25-Oct. 6, 2024
7-night Mediterranean cruise on MSC World Europa: $5,118 (including taxes) for two adults, round trip from Barcelona, May 2-9, 2025
7-night Mediterranean on MSC Divina: $5,858 (including taxes) for two adults, round trip from Kusadasi, Turkey, June 5-12, 2025

I tried a ship-within-a-ship cruise experience and it was worth it for the endless perks—here’s why

The MSC Yacht Club affords travelers a totally different cruising experience, but you’ll have to splurge.

I heard tales of luxury from people about the ritzy MSC Yacht Club , the ship-within-a-ship concept where discerning passengers enjoy their own area of the cruise ship that includes a dedicated restaurant, private lounge, separate pool and sundeck as well as private butlers and concierges to take of any whim while cruising. The elevated Yacht Club boasts priority everything while sailing MSC.

I sailed on a four-night cruise on the new MSC Seashore, a glitzy ship with Italian flair intermingled with references to New York City at every turn. Although the ship was well-appointed and had amazing dining, drinking and entertainment venues, and a bountiful Top Sail main buffet, thousands of passengers made the ship feel crowded at times, elevators were slow, and as I strolled through the general pools, they were boisterous and crowded.

RECOMMENDED: 10 things about cruising on an adults-only ship that might surprise you

Switch gears to MSC Seashore’s Yacht Club, passkey-protected for lucky guests, and is a 180 from the ship’s general spaces. Once you scan your handy Yacht Club wrist badge, or your room key, you’re instantly given entrance to a breathtaking retreat of 131 staterooms and suites. All this luxury does come at a price. Cruise fares will vary based on destination, time of year, and cabin category, but generally speaking you can expect to pay double for the Yacht Club. And from my experience, it’s worth it. Read more about why you should splurge.

You’re fast-tracked through everything

The Yacht Club’s exclusivity and impeccable service standard started from the moment I got dropped off at the Port Canaveral cruise terminal. There were hundreds of people waiting to board at 1pm on embarkation day. I saw in the distance a canopy that said MSC Yacht Club. My husband and I wheeled our carry-on luggage to the representative under the canopy. I gave her my name and within two seconds, she gave me a sticker to wear and up we ascended on the escalator to check in. Just five minutes later, I was directed to the dedicated check-in area for Yacht Club guests. To my right, I saw about 1,000 people serpentine through ropes to do general check-in. I felt a sense of relief; who wants to wait in that line? Five minutes later, a butler from the Yacht Club insisted on wheeling my luggage to board the ship and I was in my room in a total on 12 minutes from the time I stepped foot out of the car to my stateroom in the Yacht Club.

Relaxing and streamlined

In addition, Yacht Club guests have the freedom to get off the ship first for excursions. Your butler will happily escort you off the ship with a smile. Guests also can disembark on the last morning first, which is a big convenience. Your butler walks you right to the place you disembark, bypassing crowds and hassles. Port Canaveral is about an hour away from Orlando International Airport, and we took a 10 am flight home. We didn’t have to linger around until the afternoon for our flight home.

Another perk is that there’s a special seating area in the theater for shows. All the shows were excellent during my voyage. All other ship passengers have to make reservations in advance for shows but that’s not the case for the privileged Yacht Club passengers. As long as you arrive about 10 minutes before any show you choose, a crew member from the Club will allow you entry into a special roped-off section. Again, no rushing through dinner—you have the flexibility to plan your evenings your way.

Your Yacht Club package is packed with remarkable value

The price tag may sound daunting, but there’s lots of value there. All Yacht Club cabins and suites include a premium drink package that covers beverages up to $15. You can use this perk both in the Yacht Club and throughout the ship. In addition, your package includes a two-device Wi-Fi package, which worked well during my sailing. Finally, you get access to the thermal spa suite, which is a place to indulge after a day in port or a sea day. Commonly, there’s a taboo regarding mini-bars, but not in the Yacht Club. It’s stocked each day with the beverages you want; just tell your butler and consider it done.

You get perks ashore too

If your sailing includes a call to Ocean Cay, MSC’s private island, Yacht Club guests get an elevated experience there too. Yacht Club guests enjoy a private area, and a dedicated restaurant called the Ocean House. While other ship guests were hosted to a buffet of predictable fare, I enjoyed a lobster roll, and my husband chose carne asada. In my opinion, one thing that could be improved was the tram service to the Yacht Club’s private area. We were told the last tram back was 3:30pm if we didn’t want to trek a 15-minute walk in the heat. Since we were docked in Ocean Cay for the evening and weren’t sailing, I was a bit dismayed by this logistical quirk. I felt like I was keeping an eye on my phone to make sure I didn’t miss the last tram.

You have private areas with curated food and drink and outdoor spaces

Within the Yacht Club complex, there’s the Yacht Club Restaurant, Top Sail Lounge and the One Pool Buffet, which are all exclusive to Yacht Club guests. Obviously, the food and service are steps above other dining venues of the ship, I can vouch for that. Although the food is delicious, if you don’t want to pay extra to dine at the specialty restaurants or fuss in the main buffet, eating three meals a day in the Yacht Club restaurant can get a bit monotonous. The breakfast is the same daily, and lunch and dinner offer a menu with daily specials plus a few standby selections like a hamburger or pasta each day. Although the Yacht Club Restaurant concept is desirable, I would strongly suggest dining in other venues on board, especially for dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed specialty dining in Ocean Cay Restaurant, Butcher’s Cut, and Kaito Teppanyaki. I also want to mention that late afternoon high tea is offered daily at the Yacht Club Restaurant. It was one of the nicest I have experienced at sea.

Also available exclusively to Yacht Club passengers is the Top Sail Lounge, which offers panoramic water views and has chef-curated selections from morning through late night. We enjoyed popping into the lounge at all hours to try finger foods and sweets. The One Pool Buffet offers a more casual option for breakfast and lunch by the pool. The buffet has grilled fish, sandwiches and lots of delicious options if you want to dine outside.

There’s also an exclusive area with a private pool and two whirlpools for Yacht Club guests only. The sun deck loungers are very comfortable and I never had to worry about finding a lounger, there are ample. One issue I had was that there was almost no shade on the sun deck; there were shaded day beds for Royal Suite and Owners Suite guests, but beyond those, I couldn’t find any shade, which was disappointing.

You can justify the price at the end of your cruise

Overall, the best way to explain my enthusiasm for my MSC Yacht Club experience is this: it’s better to book an interior stateroom in the Yacht Club than a luxe cabin outside the Yacht Club. It’s worth the splurge and you return home feeling truly pampered and it’s money well-spent. And I make this prediction: Once you try a ship-within-a-ship concept like the MSC Yacht Club, you won’t want cruise any other way. Bon Voyage!

Worldwide msc international, msc world europa to feature an enhanced and futuristic msc yacht club.

MSC World Europa to feature enlarged and most luxurious Yacht Club to date with futuristic design and enhanced public spaces
Ship to offer brand-new ultra-spacious ‘Owners Suites’ – not seen anywhere else in the MSC Cruises fleet
More than 18,000 square feet of private outdoor space with an extensive two-story sun deck

Geneva, Switzerland – May 25, 2022 – An enhanced MSC Yacht Club will be among the new features on board the highly anticipated MSC World Europa when the ship debuts later this year as the first of MSC Cruises’ trailblazing "World Class" ships. The all-new World Class platform boasts future-proof marine and onboard hospitality technologies as well as a ground-breaking and ultramodern design.

The MSC Yacht Club’s innovative “ship within a ship” concept was first introduced in 2008, offering an all-inclusive cruise experience that set a new standard for premium cruising. It offers guests privacy and exclusivity, while still allowing them to enjoy all the facilities a larger ship can offer. MSC Cruises seeks to enrich and enhance that experience with every new ship, meaning MSC Yacht Club guests on MSC World Europa will find unparalleled levels of comfort, along with more public space, expanded outdoor areas, stylish new suites and a futuristic design.

Key Highlights of the MSC Yacht Club on MSC World Europa include:

A totally reimagined sundeck – Guests will have plenty of space spread across two decks to enjoy spectacular sea views from the front of the ship. The lower deck allows them to unwind and sip a glass of champagne from the bar or enjoy a bite to eat from the grill, while the upper deck is home to a private pool and whirlpool where guests can take in the sun from comfortable loungers or one of the stylish private cabanas.

Two brand-new ultra-spacious Owner-Suites – Exclusive to World Class ships, these luxurious multi-room suites total more than 1,600 square feet between indoor areas and the private balcony. The plush accommodations consist of a double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, a bathroom complete with full-sized imperial bathtub, and a separate living-dining area bathed in light from floor-to-ceiling windows. For the ultimate VIP experience, guests step onto their own spacious balcony with al fresco dining area and whirlpool.

Double-balcony Duplex Suites – Spanning two decks, the Duplex Suites offer a whole floor dedicated to luxurious relaxation with a dining area, lounge and guest bathroom. Heading upstairs, the main bedroom has its own bathroom complete with bathtub. These special duplex suites offer two private sundecks. The lower deck offers a private whirlpool bath, seating, and lounge area, while the upper deck provides sunbathing with comfortable loungers.

Dedicated massage rooms – Guests staying in the MSC Yacht Club will have access to exclusive massage rooms in the cutting-edge MSC Aurea Spa, as well as unlimited use of the thermal area to pamper the days away.

The MSC Yacht Club experience

Key-card access grants those staying in the MSC Yacht Club exclusive access to the private lounge, which serves unlimited complimentary drinks and gourmet canapés. Guests also enjoy access to the private fine-dining restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and features an à la carte menu with chef’s specials and a wide choice of gourmet dishes complemented by an extensive wine list.

These elegant spaces, designed with the future in mind, offer uninterrupted panoramic views from the very front of the ship. After relaxing with a glass of champagne to live music, a traditional afternoon tea or after a day exploring ashore, guests can retire to their spacious and beautifully designed suite.

Fully personalized service comes as standard, with access to a 24-hour butler who will quickly get to know each guest’s personal preferences with warm, friendly and unobtrusive service. A dedicated concierge is also on-hand to facilitate any request from dinner and spa reservations to a daily newspaper delivery. No request is too big or too small.

Completing the exclusive feeling is a private sundeck with pool, comfortable sun loungers, shady cabanas and whirlpool. The nearby bar and grill offer a well-deserved cocktail, a glass of bubbly or a light bite.

MSC Yacht Club on MSC Seascape

MSC Cruises will also be launching MSC Seascape in December this year with a 32,000-square-foot MSC Yacht Club set across four decks. Features include:

A glamourous entrance featuring a three-deck back-lit Onyx wall and signature Swarovski staircases.
The private pool area and sun deck spanning more than 21,000 square feet, offering a private pool and panoramic whirlpool with eight seats and individual jets, plus a standard whirlpool.
131 suites (five different types), including the traditional interior, deluxe and royal suites as well as 41 deluxe grand suites with extra space and a walk-in closet. The two Owner’s Suites offer more than 1,000 square feet of space each, along with extended private balconies with whirlpools and outdoor living areas.
From December 2022, MSC Seascape will call at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in The Bahamas, where MSC Yacht Club guests will benefit from privileges ashore including a private beach and the Ocean House, which serves all-inclusive drinks and food.

The MSC Yacht Club is available on all Fantasia, Meraviglia, Seaside and World Class ships.

MSC World Europa Cruise Ship Review

Let's explore world europa.

MSC World Europa launched in 2022 and has a capacity of 6,000 guests. The ship offers state-of-the-art features, including an indoor promenade, an aquatic park, and the latest environmental technologies. The ship is known for her luxurious amenities, diverse dining options, and entertainment offerings. MSC World Europa is the first ship in the fleet to be powered by liquified natural gas (LNG), an alternative fuel that has fewer carbon emissions than other fossil fuels.

MSC World Europa offers an extensive range of accommodation options to satisfy every taste, from luxurious suites with stylish private facilities in the MSC Yacht Club to traditional, comfortable staterooms. What’s more? MSC World Europa brings brand new stateroom designs overlooking the outdoor promenade, where guests can soak up the vibrant atmosphere for a truly unique experience.

There are six main categories for cabins on MSC World Europa: Interior , Oceanview, Balcony, Aurea Balcony, Suite, and MSC Yacht Club.

All cabins onboard MSC World Europa exhibit striking hues and richly textured wood finishes. The beds are sufficiently comfy with a slightly firm feel, and we particularly adore the exquisite toiletries bearing MSC’s branding, imbued with a captivating fragrance.

Each cabin on MSC World Europa is equipped with a private bathroom featuring a shower, toilet, and sink/vanity, as well as interactive on-demand television sets, mini-fridges, and in-room safes, along with ample storage space that increases in proportion to the size of the selected cabin. Several cabins across all categories are eligible for interconnection, while a few cabins of various grades are designated as Accessible. Premium bath products are standard in every room, along with 24-hour room service, hair dryers, mini-fridges, bathrobes, and more.

MSC World Europa’s Yacht Club staterooms and suites offer exceptional value on board. This exclusive enclave, which feels like a ship within a ship, boasts abundant additional amenities such as a private dining room, a lounge with free-flowing drinks, and expansive sun decks. The icing on the cake is access to butler service, inclusive mini-bars, and priority embarkation and disembarkation. Interestingly, one need not shell out for a suite to enjoy the benefits of MSC Yacht Club. Though there are multiple suite options- some extending over multiple decks with private balconies and whirlpool tubs, there are also more modest balcony suites. Upgrading to The Yacht Club Level unlocks additional perks such as a private balcony, a concierge, and butler service. Furthermore, suites offer an extensively luxurious experience with a personal butler, access to a private restaurant, and indoor/outdoor lounges complemented by breathtaking ocean views.

No matter which type of cabin you select, whether it’s a deluxe or cost-effective option, your journey on MSC World Europa will undoubtedly be an unforgettable one.

Anyone who has sailed aboard MSC World Europa would affirm that going hungry is next to impossible. Indulge in a world of culinary delights aboard MSC World Europa and explore brand new specialty dining concepts like the hydroponic garden at Chef’s Garden Kitchen, La Pescaderia for Mediterranean fish dishes, an on-board microbrewery, and a Gin bar that offers mixology classes. With 13 dining venues on board, including six specialty restaurants, guests can savor the farm-to-ocean ethos of Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt’s Chef’s Garden Kitchen. The ship also offers three distinct restaurant buffets, each with a unique ambiance, and a new location that remains open 24/7. MSC World Europa also boasts Butcher’s Cut for an American-style steakhouse, Hola! Tacos & Cantina for Latin American street food, Kaito Teppanyaki & Sushi bar, and renowned buffets that are among guests’ favorites.

Guests can enjoy their main dining experience aboard MSC World Europa in various restaurants like Bubbles, La Foglia, Esagono, and Hexagon. There are also Il Mercato Buffet and La Brasserie Buffet for buffet-style dining. Aurea guests can savor their meals exclusively at Les Dunes Restaurant.

Whether you are looking for a fresh juice bar, a quiet spot for tea, or a lively cocktail lounge, MSC World Europa has a variety of bars and cafes to suit any mood. With a focus on craft and artisanal products, guests will be pleasantly surprised. The ship is home to several bars and lounges, including the Champagne Bar, Dolce Vita, Coffee Emporium, Elixir Mixology Bar, Gin Bar, Juice Bar, Master of the Sea Pub, MSC Yacht Club Sundeck Bar, Raj Polo Tea House, Top Sail Lounge, and Zen Pool Bar.

Guests are spoiled for choices with thrilling entertainment possibilities such as innovative performances, immersive encounters, and unexpected experiences. Indulge in five captivating themed parties, two interactive big-screen game shows, cutting-edge attractions, and other advanced features in the ship’s high-tech venues.

Daytime will sparkle with exclusive features like the new VR Drone Academy, two interactive gameshows, and the Digital Dance Academy presenting three Dance with Flavia classes led by the Strictly Come Dancing champion Flavia Cacace-Mistry. Doremi’s Wake Up Rave will also provide the ship’s youngest visitors with an entertaining morning. Record-breaking challenges will be available during daytime events and a grand evening performance.

After hours, the Luna Park Arena will be illuminated with three interactive concerts with mind-blowing visual effects: Symphonic Ibiza, Supershow, and Crimson Club.

7 Things I Learned On An MSC Cruise Ship

When I have a client who has never cruised before I always start with MSC. But since they are the “new” ship on the block, inevitably my clients ask “Is an MSC cruise good?” I went on a 3-night voyage on the MSC Meraviglia to the Bahamas. I then went on a 7-night cruise from Brooklyn on the same ship. Here are the 7 things I learned while I was on my MSC cruise ship.

Organization Is Not A Strong Point

Unfortunately, the organization of MSC is very subpar. I think that they need to revamp their embarkation process. They had a lot of issues with getting guests onto the ship. One of their issues was their method of managing all mandatory requirements before sailing. It requires passengers to bring their travel documentation with them.

I even saw entire families waiting in the holding area because they were being denied entry! That’s why I encourage all of my clients to get travel insurance either through the company or better yet with my personal choice Safety Wing !

Inevitably, there were many passengers who didn’t, and that immediately created lines. Luckily we arrived a couple of hours earlier so we didn’t have to wait too long. Unfortunately, others were not so lucky. Our ship was supposed to leave Port Canaveral, Florida at 4 p.m., and there were still lines at 6 p.m.

There needs to be a different more streamlined process because it created a bit of chaos and a little bit of disorganization. Another one of their disorganization issues revolves around the mandatory evacuation drills. Most cruises that I’ve been on have a seamless process, MSC not so much. Disney Cruise Lines shines in this department .

During the chaos of embarkation, they made several shipwide announcements to all passengers to voluntarily report to the muster station. A good portion of the travelers on the ship had never heard of this drill before!

Travel Tip: Muster Station Safety Drill

MSC’s muster drill was a series of announcements over the ship’s system demanding that “all passengers report to their muster station.” If you didn’t know what that was, you were not reporting. Even if you did know where it was, you didn’t know where to find it! This only added to the chaos that was embarkation. This is absolutely NOT one of the things that make MSC cruises good.

Cleanliness, Beauty, and Dining Are Where They Shine

The MSC Meraviglia is beautiful. There really isn’t any other way to describe it. It looks like it’s brand new, and has never been used. It smelled new, it was shiny and it literally sparkled. And by literally, I mean that the stairs literally sparkled! Seriously, they are made of Swarovski crystals and are absolutely breathtaking.

The rooms were very clean too. Honestly, it oozed “modern.” We stayed in a standard balcony stateroom and it was slightly larger than other cruise lines we’ve sailed. The bathroom was spotless, and for me, that is a big win. As with all cruise staterooms, the bathroom was on the smaller side, but it was overlooked because of how clean it was.

Travel Tip: Make sure you bring an adapter if you want to blow dry or straighten your hair in the bathroom. Since it is a European ship, they only had Euro power outlets in the bathroom. These are the ones I recommend .

The Food! Things I Learned On An MSC Cruise Ship–EAT ALL THE FOOD!

By day two we were loving every bit of food we ate. I don’t remember having one piece of food that I did not like. The quality is fresh and the variety is acceptable in the buffet area. I particularly liked the breakfast options. The variety of pastries alone made me wish I was back.

Their main dining hall was at the back of the ship and offered spectacular views. We ate there for what we affectionately called “dinner” at the earliest time 6 p.m. and found that the menu did not change, at all. That made our ventures into the specialty restaurants which we called “supper” that much more eventful.

We ended up eating at several of their specialty restaurants, and they are worth every penny of added expense. The options were:

Hola! Tacos & Cantina
Butcher’s Cut
Kaito Teppanyaki and Sushi
Main Dining Buffet

One of the negatives was the bars/lounges. Most of them were closed for our cruise. We were told that it was because of a staffing issue. I think that they need to improve this in order to improve their US-based customers.

Travel Tip: Try a drink when you are on a cruise that is different than anything you’ve ever had! If you like it, at least you’ve found a new drink! If you don’t, at least you tried!

They Are Very Family Friendly

Some cruise lines excel at family-friendly activities. MSC is one of them. First, moms of littles, you will be happy to learn that MSC offers a fun playroom for children under 3! Most places don’t offer that service!

They also have plenty of amenities that cater to older kids. There is a basketball court that converts to a teen nightclub at night, an ice cream bar, a virtual reality arcade, LEGO rooms, computer labs, and more!

What sets them apart, however, is that they have activities for families that like to think outside the box. I call these families “learning families” because they try to have moments with their kids while on vacation. MSC offers that with multiple “teaching with experiences” activities.

They aren’t just fun and games, they offer cooking classes, language classes, and immersive cultural tours while on location.

But when it comes to fun and games, they offer enough varieties to keep the kiddos entertained.

I Like How They Are Growing Their U.S. Fleet

MSC will have 2 new ships in 2022, the MSC Seascape and World Europa. They will then have 5 ships sailing in the USA throughout the year. Each of these ships has that unique new “flair” that MSC ships seem to offer. The word that comes to mind is sophisticated.

They are building a new port in Miami which will be the furthest and last built in a state-of-the-art cruise terminal that will open in late 2023. The key takeaway I got was that MSC is a higher-end cruise line. Their amenities and services are not for those who are looking for budget or party cruises.

In April of 2023, they will start sailing from New York City, which is such a benefit to my fellow northeast peeps! MSC Seascape will make its home there. MSC also announced that they will be launching World Europa, their largest ship in the fleet, and her sister ship MSC Americana.

I’d be cautious about booking cruises on those first cruises out of either new port. I’m sure it is not going to be organized. You’ll definitely want to avoid booking after they’ve been returning from a foreign country as the entire crew has to be inspected and the crew has to participate in Coast Guard drills, etc. That means lines, and waiting and we already know they aren’t good at that.

The Yacht Club Upgrade is Essential

MSC’s Yacht Club is an exclusive white glove service upgrade. They market it as a ship within a ship. It’s geared towards the more open-minded explorers w/higher education or more experience with travel. Yacht Club members are the travelers who when they arrive at a destination experience it. They go to museums, visit locals and eat at dive restaurants.

The Yacht Club amenities are worth taking a look at. Not only do you have access to your own wing of the ship in larger staterooms, but you also are treated like royalty!

On the ship, the Yacht Club experience is designed to give you 360 sea views at all times. In their private area on board, Yacht Club members receive:

Private white-glove butler service
Espresso machine (in-room)
Pillow menu
20-hour private concierge
Premium open bar
Private area for shows
Priority boarding and disembarkation (which allows them to avoid the lines)
A dedicated private beach area at Ocean Kay (private island)
Yacht Club Only restaurant with Michelin star chefs
Private pool and whirlpools
So much more!

In my opinion, it represents the future of cruising. On some of the newer ships, the Yacht Club is going to feel like you are in a 5-star resort in the middle of the ocean.

The Private Island is…Spectacular

There really isn’t much more to say than that. It’s the Bahamas, so you can already assume that the island was going to be nice. But MSC made it a mission to repurpose this island into the beautiful paradise it was.

The private island has a wedding venue and a pavilion. I would definitely be adding it to the list of best places for your destination wedding or honeymoon . Bimini Beach is on the list and I try to visit it as much as I can!

I highly recommend choosing a cruise that spends the night on the island so that you can witness the lighthouse light show!

Their Customer Service Leaves A Lot To Be Desired

It seems like a lot of the staff was not knowledgeable about certain things. It was almost as if they were new to the ship and didn’t know how to properly do their particular job. Throughout the entire trip, I heard guests complain about the customer service. One passenger stated that a staff’s response to a customer issue was “oh well.”

I didn’t personally have any issues, but whenever I had a question, I did find it a little unprofessional that the staff I asked usually couldn’t answer it. I spoke with a logistics coordinator for MSC in the shipping sector who was also on this cruise and she stated:

One of the issues people were having was with the credit card on file. Most cruise lines allow guests to use the credit card that they used to book their cruise for additional expenses. If you purchase anything you’ll just get a bill at the end of the cruise, and that’s it! Again, MSC does things differently.

They require clients to add a card either at check-in or at one of their kiosks for charges on board. This caused confusion, especially for travelers who are used to just having their card added for them automatically.

The credit card situation came back again when we were checking out of the ship. Passengers couldn’t disembark until they “settled their bill” prior to leaving. Most cruise lines do that for you. Very chaotic.

If you are sailing to the Caribbean, my answer is not quite yet. I think they need to get a year or two into the U.S. market before they are ready for the accolades of other companies. On the other hand, if you are cruising in Europe, I wouldn’t go with any other brand.

I do think that if you are a seasoned cruiser, you’ll definitely like the “up-scale” nature of MSC. If you would like to book your MSC cruise at some AMAZING rates! Click here to schedule a consultation with me!

When I have a client who has never cruised before I always start with MSC. But since they are the “new” ship on the block, inevitably my clients ask “Is an MSC cruise good?” I went on a 3-night voyage on the MSC Meraviglia to the Bahamas. I then went on a 7-night cruise from...

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world. ■

Sunrise Yachts, a luxury yacht building company which is based in Turkey, has been made a main sponsor of next year’s 2011 Moscow International Boat Show (MIBS). The four-day Russian yacht show event is currently scheduled to run from April 14-17 at the Moscow’s Crocus exhibition centre.

moscow boat show

MIBS is organised by the ITE Group and it is one of Russia’s leading boat shows and is an internationally recognised superyacht event. The show covering everything from small parts and accessories to large superyacht with over 9,000 people and 178 exhibitors attended the last year show.

The Paolo Scanu-designed Sunrise 45 yacht is an ocean-going cruising yacht that was released in 2009 to much acclaim at this was the group’s first-ever model.

Sunrise Yachts was founded in 2007 by the German entrepreneur Herbert P Baum along with the French-British yacht builder Guillaume Roché. The luxury yacht group is based in Antalya, Turkey and utilises a 10,000sq m shipyard facility. Sunrise has two sheds measuring 100m (328ft) x 16m (53ft), as well as a 70m (230ft) x 16m (53ft) fully acclimatized paint shed that can accommodate new-build and refit projects up to 65m (213ft) in length and 1,200 tonnes displacement.

Along each side of the yacht-building facility, space is available for long-term sub-contractors with the latest equipment and logistics capabilities, along with air-conditioned storage, ventilation and extraction plants. The shipyard is organized as an “assembler,” based loosely on the car industry’s model, with a small, yet powerful project management team charged with running all the in-house long-term sub-contractors.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
by Kings of Russia
8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
