MSC Cruises is upgrading the MSC Yacht Club restaurant across its Fantasia-class ships, introducing a redesigned dining concept that debuted on MSC Splendida.
The redesigned restaurant introduces a more contemporary layout with darker tones, soft textures and updated lighting intended to create a more intimate atmosphere. Vertical design elements and subtle partitions structure the space while maintaining openness, and panoramic sea views remain a key feature of the venue.
The upgraded restaurant is already available on MSC Splendida following the ship’s recent refurbishment at Palumbo Malta Shipyard. The design will be introduced across the remaining Fantasia-class ships in phases: MSC Fantasia is scheduled for completion in December 2026, followed by MSC Divina in April 2027 and MSC Preziosa in February 2028.
The restaurant forms part of the broader MSC Yacht Club ‘ship-within-a-ship’ concept, which offers keycard-only access to a range of private facilities. These include a dedicated lounge, a private sundeck with whirlpools, a grill restaurant and bar, and suites supported by 24-hour butler and concierge service.
Additional upgrades across the Fantasia-class ships include redesigned Future Cruise offices, where guests can plan and book future sailings during their voyage. The updated spaces feature expanded layouts, modern furnishings, additional seating and sea views intended to create a more comfortable booking environment. The new Future Cruise office is already available on MSC Divina, MSC Preziosa and MSC Splendida, with MSC Fantasia scheduled to complete its upgrades later this year.
Upcoming itineraries on MSC Splendida featuring the redesigned MSC Yacht Club restaurant include seven-night Mediterranean voyages from Barcelona between February and May 2026, calling at Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Palermo and La Goulette. Summer 2026 sailings from Barcelona will visit Marseille, Livorno, Cagliari, Palermo and Valletta.
