Live the high life on the high seas – MSC Yacht Club's sophisticated suites

One of the pleasures of luxury cruises is staying in sophisticated surroundings, and no one does luxury suites better than MSC Yacht Club.

From marble bathrooms, to lavish living and sleeping areas, timelessly elegant design and attention to detail means your stay will be sumptuously comfortable.

While offerings vary across the fleet, you can take your pick from several types of suite, with all MSC's newest ships offering stunning Interior Suites.

If you're yearning for wonderful views and your own outside space, MSC Yacht Club's Deluxe Suites come with beautiful balconies, while Royal Suites serve direct balcony access from both the bedroom and private terrace.

Meanwhile, MSC Yacht Club members on Fantasia class ships can book spacious Grand Suites, or Executive and Family Suites that come with a panoramic window and separate living room.

For something extra-special, Duplex Suites on Meraviglia class ships boast a premium front-of-ship location – the views are out of this world – with the option to have a private whirlpool.

Or, for the ultimate in luxury, Owner Suites on MSC Seashore and MSC Seascape serve spacious terraces with a separate dining and living room, private whirlpool, floor-to-ceiling windows, glass doors and a walk-in wardrobe. How's that for comfort?

And of course, one of the beauties of MSC Yacht Club luxury cruises is that these lavish surroundings are yours to savour throughout your voyage, whichever destinations you choose to discover.

Discover extraordinary destinations through exclusive excursions

For example, multiple departure dates, embarkation points and routes cover everywhere from the Bahamas, Curacao and the Cayman Islands, to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar – to name but a few MSC Yacht Club destinations.

Wherever you choose to travel, MSC Yacht Club membership means you can book exclusively-curated excursions.
