MSC Cruises is set to launch its first-ever Alaska itineraries in 2026, offering seven-night cruises aboard the MSC Poesia from Seattle. The MSC Poesia, a midsized ship with a capacity of 2,550 passengers at double occupancy, is designed to navigate Alaska’s narrow channels, providing close-up views of the region's glaciers and scenic landscapes. MSC highlighted that the Poesia’s size makes it an ideal vessel for exploring Alaska’s famed Inside Passage.
