MSC Cruises is upgrading the exclusive MSC Yacht Club Restaurant across all four Fantasia‑class ships, unveiling a contemporary, more intimate dining experience that is already delighting Yacht Club guests on MSC Splendida.
As part of a wider, multi‑ship refurbishment program, MSC Cruises is investing heavily in modernising its fleet and enhancing the guest experience—especially within its award‑winning MSC Yacht Club “ship‑within‑a‑ship” concept. The newly redesigned MSC Yacht Club Restaurant brings a fresh, refined aesthetic to Fantasia‑class vessels, combining modern elegance with panoramic sea views.
The updated interiors feature darker, richer tones, soft textures and sophisticated lighting that create a warm, intimate atmosphere. Vertical elements and subtle partitions help structure the space, giving diners a sense of privacy while preserving openness and flow, so the ocean remains ever‑present through large picture windows.
Rollout across Fantasia-class: Splendida leads the way
The upgraded MSC Yacht Club Restaurant is already available on MSC Splendida following her recent refurbishment at Palumbo Malta Shipyard, and guests can enjoy the new venue on her current winter Mediterranean sailings. The redesign will then roll out across the rest of the Fantasia‑class fleet: MSC Fantasia is scheduled for completion in December 2026, MSC Divina in April 2027 and MSC Preziosa in February 2028.
Alongside the restaurant work, Fantasia‑class ships are also receiving a refreshed Future Cruise office featuring a larger, more contemporary space with additional seating and sea views, making it easier and more enjoyable for guests to plan their next voyage while on board. The new Future Cruise office is already in place on MSC Divina, MSC Preziosa and MSC Splendida, with MSC Fantasia to follow as part of her upcoming upgrades.
Elevated fine dining for MSC Yacht Club guests
Within the redesigned setting, the MSC Yacht Club Restaurant delivers a culinary experience that matches its new look. Guests can choose from sophisticated, multi‑course menus crafted by a dedicated 24/7 culinary team, with an on‑hand sommelier ready to recommend perfectly paired wines.
This exclusive restaurant is one of several private spaces reserved for MSC Yacht Club guests, who also enjoy spacious suites, 24‑hour butler and concierge service, and access to a dedicated lounge, private sundeck with whirlpools, and a separate grill restaurant and bar. Together, these venues create a “ship‑within‑a‑ship” enclave of calm and personalised service, while still giving guests full access to the broader ship’s entertainment and amenities.
