Discover the Luxury of the MSC World America Yacht Club

If you’ve been dreaming of a cruise experience that blends world-class entertainment, incredible dining, and the ease of all-inclusive pampering, let me introduce you to the MSC World America Yacht Club.

As MSC Cruises’ newest and largest ship, MSC World America redefines the modern cruise experience with next-level amenities, entertainment, and design. There’s so much to see and do onboard. As a Yacht Club guest, you have access to it all, plus an entirely separate world of exclusivity, elegance, and service unlike anything else at sea.

What Exactly Is the Yacht Club?

The MSC Yacht Club is MSC's “ship-within-a-ship” concept. It is a private enclave reserved for just 152 suites out of the 2,614 staterooms onboard. Think of it as your own boutique luxury hotel, complete with a personal butler, private restaurant, exclusive lounge, pool deck, and more.

You’ll enjoy all the excitement of the ship, including shows, water parks, and dining, but return to a serene and luxurious retreat where every detail is handled for you.

Let’s take a look inside the Yacht Club experience on the MSC World America:

1. The Top Sail Lounge

Step into the Top Sail Lounge, and you’ll immediately feel the elegance. This spacious, beautifully appointed area offers panoramic views, plush seating, and a refined atmosphere. Here, you’ll be served complimentary cocktails, canapés, and afternoon tea, all with attentive white-glove service. Live music throughout the day and evening adds to the relaxed sophistication that defines the Yacht Club.

2. The Yacht Club Restaurant

One level up, just past the Swarovski crystal staircase, you’ll find the Yacht Club Restaurant — a true fine-dining experience at sea. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this elegant restaurant offers a flexible dining schedule. There are no fixed times; just dine when you’re ready.

The menus are ever-changing, featuring beautifully plated gourmet dishes with Sommelier wine pairings and attentive service. Dietary preferences are happily accommodated, and you can order as much or as little as you’d like.

3. The Yacht Club Pool Deck

Escape the crowds on your own private sun deck. The Yacht Club’s exclusive pool and hot tub area is a peaceful oasis, with attendants ready to deliver drinks and snacks right to your lounger. While the pool itself is on the smaller side, it’s the serenity and exclusivity that make it special. Just steps away, you’ll also find the Top Solarium Deck, featuring two whirlpools and a full bar, shared only with Aurea-level guests.

4. The Yacht Club Grill & Bar

Located just one deck below the pool, the Yacht Club Grill is a relaxed yet refined dining spot, perfect for a casual lunch or dinner al fresco. The menu features delicious options, but if you go, don’t miss the lobster roll — it’s a must-try!

5. La Brasserie

One of my favorite new additions aboard the MSC World America is La Brasserie, an exclusive evening dining venue for Yacht Club guests. By day, it’s a buffet open to all cruisers; by night, it transforms into a family-style dinner experience exclusively for Yacht Club guests.

You can order as many dishes as you like, whether to share or to savor individually. It’s a fun, flexible, and elevated dining option that enhances the Yacht Club experience even more.

Suite Options in the Yacht Club

The Yacht Club offers a variety of suites, from cozy interior sanctuaries to the ultra-luxurious Owner’s Suite complete with a private whirlpool. In between, you’ll find spacious Deluxe Suites and stunning Two-Floor Duplex Suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies.

No matter which suite you choose, you’ll enjoy access to all Yacht Club amenities, plus these premium inclusions:

• Premium Extra Beverage Package: Enjoy a wide selection of cocktails, fine wines, beers, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages. Even your in-room mini-bar is included and customizable (don't forget your Toblerone Chocolate!).

• Unlimited Wi-Fi: Stay connected with up to two devices per guest.

• 24-Hour Butler Service: Your personal butler handles everything. If you need assistance or have questions, your butler is there to help. Ours was phenomenal and even secured “sold-out” show seats for us!

• Dedicated Concierge: Available around the clock to assist with any onboard special requests and room service.

• Thermal Spa Access: Complimentary access to the serene MSC Aurea Spa Thermal Suite, plus 10% off all treatments.

• Priority Embarkation & Disembarkation: Skip the lines with seamless VIP service. We were greeted with champagne, checked in within minutes, and personally escorted aboard. Disembarkation was just as effortless. From lounge to luggage in under three minutes!

  
  

Ports of Call & Itineraries

The MSC World America currently sails from the brand-new Port of Miami Cruise Terminal, offering both Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries.

• Eastern Caribbean: Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic), San Juan (Puerto Rico), and MSC’s private island Ocean Cay Marine Reserve.

• Western Caribbean: Roatán (Honduras), Costa Maya (Mexico), Cozumel (Mexico), and Ocean Cay.

  
  

For those who want it all, you can even combine both routes into a 14-day voyage!

Ocean Cay – The Perfect Private Island Escape

A true highlight of any MSC cruise, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve is a natural, eco-friendly paradise. For Yacht Club guests, it’s even better, with private beaches, a restaurant, and a bar reserved just for you. Imagine sipping cocktails with your toes in the sand while your butler delivers lunch to your cabana… pure bliss!

Why I Can’t Recommend the Yacht Club Enough

It’s hard to put into words how special the Yacht Club staff make you feel. Every interaction is genuine and personalized, and every detail is designed for relaxation.

From start to finish, our MSC World America Yacht Club experience was simply exceptional. It blended luxury, comfort, and fun in perfect harmony.
