MSC Cruises’ MSC Poesia made her maiden call in Sydney today on her 119-day World Cruise.
The visit from MSC marks only the third ship the cruise line has brought to Australia, with MSC Magnifica having visited in 2019 and 2020 (CW 29 Nov 2019), and MSC Orchestra in 2015 (CW 19 Mar 2015).
Poesia and her sister ship Magnifica departed Genoa on 05 Jan for simultaneous world cruises (CW 09 Jan), and after sailing together for the start of the voyages, parted ways at the edge of the Mediterranean for different routes around the globe.
In honour of the maiden call to Sydney, MSC has organised events throughout today to welcome visitors, while media and travel advisors will familiarise themselves with the cruise line’s unique offering via a tour of the ship’s features.
“We are thrilled to welcome MSC Poesia into Sydney,” Commercial Director Lisa Teiotu said, adding “having a ship in port provides a great opportunity for our trade partners and media to experience our Mediterranean hospitality.”
After an overnight in Sydney, Poesia will make her maiden call in Brisbane on Wed, followed by a visit to Cairns on Fri.
Magnifica will reach Australia with a stop in Hobart on 15 Mar.
Poesia also made her maiden call to Auckland last week, with NZ-based advisors being welcomed aboard (pictured).
