MSC Virtuosa: Cabins and Suites Guide (2024)

Choosing a cabin or suite on a cruise ship is never easy!

When it comes to MSC Virtuosa there is a choice between seventeen different cabins and suites to choose from between 2,421 cabins (including 60 dedicated for guests with disabilities or reduced mobility).

In this guide, I have sourced all the information from my experience onboard MSC Virtuosa and MSC Cruises to bring you an easy-to-understand guide on the available cabins and suites.

Introduction

MSC Virtuosa is one of MSC Cruises’ latest ships – the Meraviglia-Plus class ship can carry a maximum capacity of 6,334 passengers – but this number is calculated based on every available berth on the ship being occupied (i.e. all bunk beds, sofa beds, etc) – this is rarely the case on any cruise ship!

All passenger cabins on MSC Virtuosa are located on Decks 5 and 8-16. Please remember that all photos and illustrations represent what they look like – some may be the opposite way around or laid out differently! Generally speaking though, they are all identical across the grades.

MSC Virtuosa ‘s accommodation works based on five different cabin types – which are then broken down into further sub-categories of cabins, but in essence, there are five types to choose from:

• MSC Yacht Club

I will explain all the other types – but feel free just to select one and skip to it!

How many cabins are on MSC Virtuosa?

There are 2,421 cabins on MSC Virtuosa . They are configured as follows:

• 15 Interior Studio Cabins
• 728 Interior Cabins
• 160 Ocean View Cabins
• 1,322 Balcony Cabins
• 8 Suites with whirlpool baths
• 2 Grand Suites with whirlpool baths
• 15 MSC Yacht Club Interior Suites
• 77 MSC Yacht Club Deluxe Suites
• 8 MSC Yacht Club Duplex Suites
• 2 MSC Yacht Club Royal Suites
• 59 Cabins for guests with disabilities or reduced mobility
• 1 MSC Yacht Club Deluxe Suite for guests with disabilities or reduced mobility

Cabins by Description and Type

First, lets look at the cabin descriptions (as described on the MSC Cruises website and brochures) and what type of cabins they actually are.

You’ll see that they match standard cruise ship cabins, just slightly different naming. For example an ‘inside cabin’ is an ‘Interior Cabin’ with MSC Cruises.

Cabins by Size and Code

Now let us look at the sizing and coding.

Firstly, the sizing is made up of two parts (for the majority of cabins) – that is the floor space (including your bathroom) and the size of your balcony. Cabins without balconies have just one number listed.

The coding in the table relates to the grade of the cabin you have. There are multiple grades of the same cabin type (sounds confusing, I know!) but actually it is pretty straightforward.

For example, a Fantastica Deluxe Balcony comes in four grades:

• BP – Partial View
• BR1 – Cabins on decks 8-10
• BR2 – Cabins on decks 11-12
• BR3 – Cabins on decks 13-14

You’ll find the higher the number, the more expensive the grade is. Although usually it isn’t too much and is sometimes worth paying a little bit more for a better grade – as you may find more availability for your perfect location!

Cabins by Experience and Deck Numbers

Onto our last table! Here we break down the cabins by MSC Experience type (Bella, Fantastica, Aurea & MSC Yacht Club) and what decks on the ship you will find them at!

Common Cabin/Suite Features

Each cabin and suite comes with a standard set of features that aren’t linked to whether you have an interior, balcony or suite!

On MSC Virtuosa , all cabins include:

Additionally, there are plenty of shelves in the bathroom for toiletries and drawers in the cabin for clothes and accessories.

On the back of the cabin door is a map of where you are located on the ship and details on your muster station in case of an emergency.

You’ll also find a Daily Planner delivered each day to your cabin that includes details of all activities on the ship and information on the port you are visiting.

Interior Cabins

Like on all cruise ships – interior cabins are the lowest grade of cabin – that doesn’t mean they are they are the worst though. For many, a cabin is just a place to get sleep and get ready and is perfect for any cruise – so let’s get started with more details about these cabins!

Studio Interior Cabin

The Studio Interior cabins are the smallest cabins available on the ship. This is because they are aimed at solo travellers! therefore they have a slightly reduced bed (140 x 200cm) compared to the other cabins on the ship.

• Surface Area: Approx 12 sqm
• Located: Decks 5-14
• Number available: 16
• Capacity: 1 Passenger

Deluxe Interior Cabin (IB/IR1/IR2)

The Deluxe Interior cabins are the standard inside cabins for two people and offer more space than the Studio Interior version.

• Surface Area: 17 sqm
• Number Available: 64+120
• Capacity: 2-4 Passengers

Ocean View Cabins

MSC Cruises call the industry-standard ‘Outside’ cabins as ‘Ocean View’ which is a better name and makes more sense. In essence, it is a standard Interior cabin but with a large rectangle window – allowing in natural daylight and a view out to sea.

As standard with cabins of this category across all ships, the porthole will not open – you will need to circulate air via the air conditioning system.

Junior Ocean View with Obstructed View Cabin

The lowest category of Ocean View cabins are ones with obstructed views. This commonly means they are situated near/behind lifeboats and/or other ship equipment which is fixed to the side of the ship.

It is possible that this equipment may move during port days (i.e. window cleaning equipment) but it should be taken for granted that you will have an obstruction of some type from your view. This of course is reflected in the price too.

These cabins also offer a larger vanity desk area and a sofa bed, which can be converted into further berths if required.

• Surface Area: 12 sqm
• Located: Deck 8 only
• Capacity: 2-6 Passengers

Junior Ocean View Cabin

These are the same as the previous type of cabin – but they offer no obstructed view and instead, you can see out to sea with ease!

Deluxe Ocean View Cabin

The Deluxe Ocean View Cabin offers more space than the Junior versions of this cabin type, allowing you some extra space – ideal if you are travelling with kids.

• Surface Area: 16 sqm
• Located: Deck 5 Only

Premium Ocean View Cabin

The highest category of this cabin type is the Premium Ocean View Cabin – it offers much more space and they are placed higher up on the ship, giving you a greater view out to sea.

• Surface Area: 25 sqm
• Located: Decks 9-11

Suggested reading:

Balcony cabins.

Breath in that sea air! A balcony cabin is a sure way of enjoying your cruise even more! The ability to have your own private outdoor space at all times can be wonderful on busier voyages or if you just really want a secluded hideaway with a good book!

Thankfully, MSC Virtuosa has a huge amount of cabins that have a balcony – in fact, over 70% of the ship are balcony cabins to choose from (and even more suites with balconies too!)

Studio Balcony Cabin (BS)

The ship offers a small number of solo passenger balcony cabins – rare for most ships, these are perfect for solo travellers or a single-family member travelling with a larger family.

• Balcony Area: 4 sqm
• Located: Decks 13-14

Deluxe Balcony with Partial View Cabin (BP)

The partial-view cabins are ideal if you want the outside space to get some fresh air, but are not totally bothered about having a view. Partial view cabins are usually obstructed either by some machinery fitted externally to the ship, or, lifeboats (or a mixture of both) – they usually differ, so there isn’t a standard ‘partial view’ as such.

• Balcony Area: 6-8 sqm
• Location: Decks 8-14

Deluxe Balcony Cabin (BB/BR1/BR2/BR3)

This cabin is your ‘standard balcony cabin’ that most people will opt for (and the most numerous on the ship) – they are available across a number of decks and differ in price based on if you choose low, mid or high deck. Whichever you choose is down to personal preference – they are all the same size.

You will see some cabins listed as Bella Balcony or Fantastica Balcony – there is no difference in these other than position on the ship (and additional perks in the experience)

Balcony Aurea Cabin (BA)

Like the previous category, these cabins offer a superb balcony with great sea views and are wonderful for watching the ship arrive or leave a port – or just hanging out on during a sea day!

This configuration of cabin doesn’t come with any other different physical features, but is often placed in better locations on the ship.

• Location: Decks 11-13

For those who want extra room, perhaps travelling with a larger party or just want to splash out on something special, the suites on MSC Virtuosa should not be missed!

The suites range from extra space (in the suite and balcony) to duplex suites with terraces and some even come with their own private whirlpools!

Premium Suite Aurea

These suites are ideal for a family with kids or teenagers. The suite is larger than your standard balcony cabin and has a private area (curtained off) with a set of bunk beds – just opposite the bathroom. You’ll also find a larger balcony with some of these suites.

• Balcony Area: 3-14 sqm
• Location: Decks 9-14
• Number Available: 24

Premium Suite Aurea with terrace and whirlpool

This version of the Premium Suite Aurea comes with its own larger balcony (or terrace as it is called) and are generally at the front of the ship, offering a curved frontage.

These suites come with their own lounge area with a sofa, table and chairs. Additionally, they have their own private whirlpool which is located outside offering views out to sea – could that sound any more amazing?!

• Surface Area: 27 sqm
• Balcony Area: 26-30 sqm
• Location: Decks 9-13

Grand Suite Aurea with terrace and whirlpool

This is a bigger version of the previous suite!

Offering a much larger suite and a much larger balcony/terrace (with private whirlpool) you’ll find these suites only on one deck (12) but they are massive – ideal for longer cruises!

• Surface Area: 39 sqm
• Balcony Area: 36 sqm
• Location: Deck 12
• Cruises from Southampton (2023)
• Cruises from Southampton (2024)

MSC Yacht Club Suites

At the very top end of MSC Virtuosa, there is the MSC Yacht Club. MSC Cruises describe this as a ‘ship within a ship’ and they are not wrong! Many passengers choose to sail in MSC Yacht Club and some rarely leave the area throughout most of the cruise.

MSC Yacht Club comes with a different set of benefits that other MSC Experiences offer (such as Bella, Fantastica or Aurea) and you’ll find you have access to your own private butler, 24/7 private concierge, Yacht Club bar, restaurant, buffet and outdoor grill area.

MSC Yacht Club is accessed by keycard only and limited to a number of passengers. Each of the exclusive 103 suites (there are no cabins!) is larger in size than others on the rest of the ship and ranges from an Interior Suite to the Royal Suites.

MSC Yacht Club Interior Suite (YCI)

The entry-level suite in MSC Yacht Club is the Interior Suite – this well-appointed suite offers you the luxury of an upgraded bathroom, vanity area and suite-only fixtures.

• Location: Decks 14-16 (front of the ship only, within MSC Yacht Club)
• Number Available: 15
• Capacity: 2 Passengers

MSC Yacht Club Deluxe Suite (YC1)

The Deluxe Suite offers the same as the Interior Suite but has a balcony and a spacious sitting area with a sofa.

• Surface Area: 29 sqm
• Balcony Area: Approx 5 sqm
• Location: Decks 14-18 (front of the ship only, within MSC Yacht Club)
• Number Available: 78

MSC Yacht Club Duplex Suite with whirlpool (YCP)

Taking it up another level, there are suites within MSC Yacht Club that offer their own private whirlpool. These are similar to the suites that have a whirlpool in Aurea, however, they are duplex (split-level) – giving you much more room than most suites.

Downstairs they offer a private dining area and a separate bathroom (and wardrobe), with outside access to the private whirlpool.

• Surface Area: 59 sqm
• Balcony Area: approx 23 sqm
• Location: Decks 9-12
• Number Available: 8

MSC Yacht Club Royal Suite (YC3)

The very best accommodation on the ship is a pair of Royal Suites within the MSC Yacht Club.

These exclusive suites allow you to live like a King (or Queen!) for the duration of your cruise and you won’t want to leave when you have stayed here. They offer the features of the whirlpool suite, however, everything is on one deck (rather than a duplex) and there is a larger balcony area.

• Surface Area: 58 sqm
• Balcony Area: 70 sqm
• Location: Deck 15 only (within MSC Yacht Club)
• Number Available: 2

MSC Virtuosa Family Cabins & Suites

These days, cruise ships cater much better to families than previously. You’ll find 190 different cabins and suites which are available to be booked together and offer an interconnecting door between them (and you’ll end up with an extra-wide balcony!)

• Super Family: Combination of two connected balcony cabins – together can fit up to six people (three people in each)
• Super Family Plus: Combination of two connected suites – together can fit up to twelve people (six people in each)

See the deck plan for the symbol for Connecting Staterooms and also the symbols for bunk beds.

These cabins usually go fairly quickly when bookings open – so make sure your reserve yours sooner than later.

Note: Cabins 13265, 13376, 14235 and 14278 have bunk beds only (for 3rd/4th passengers)

MSC Virtuosa Cabins Frequently Asked Questions

What decks are cabins on MSC Virtuosa?

Deck 5 and Decks 8-16.

What is the difference between a Bella or Fantastica Balcony cabin?

Can I bring food on an MSC Cruise?

You can’t bring food onto an MSC Cruises ship. You can bring some snacks during embarkation, but food, in general, is not permitted.

Can I bring alcohol on an MSC Cruise?

You can’t bring alcohol onto MSC Cruises ships.

Do you pay for shows on MSC Virtuosa?

Final Thoughts

Choosing a cabin or suite on a cruise ship is probably the second hardest thing to do after picking your itinerary.

However, with the right information, you can be sure to pick the exact type of accommodation that suits you!

There is no right or wrong choice in picking a cabin; some people prefer inside cabins because they only sleep/get changed in them – and use the savings for other things on their cruise (or a longer cruise!).

Others prefer a balcony so they always have a view of where they are and have their own private outdoor space – but it is totally a personal preference on what you pick.

Thankfully, MSC Virtuosa has many choices available for all passengers!

Upgraded from Aurea Whirlpool Suite to Yacht Club Duplex Suite - What to expect?

By Happygcruiser , September 2, 2022 in MSC Cruises

Recommended Posts

Happygcruiser

With the changing of ships from Virtuosa to Bellissima for a February mediterranean cruise, today the cabin assignment on the booking switched to the YC Duplex suite on deck 9. Originally I booked the Aurea Whirlpool suite on deck 13. We will be 2 adults and 2 teenagers.

What can we expect in terms of YC perks or amenities? Special boarding? Drink package (we already had Easy package in the promotion)? Butler service? Eating in YC restaurants and being at the YC areas?

It's exciting, though I guess it can change still back to another cabin. (Although I would be disappointed...)

Thank you for your help!

Even if the paid ambience is only Aurea?

So we get all the benefits?

Yes, enjoy your cruise.

. Great upgrade, congrats

Yes. Virtuosa has some more cabins than the Bellissima, and possibly they had no other of your same level cabins available now on your sailing date, so they upgraded you, as they are mandated by the European consumer protection acts, if that is the case. Of course, if a same level cabin turns available they will downgrade you for that one. Either way, if that is real your final assignment, you'll exactly receive all the benefits of Yacht Club as if you've originally purchased that. Consider it as one of those rare free upgrades that pop up from quite a while. Cabin location could not be that desirable though, and if an accessible YC cabin is empty that may be the one they'll put you in.

Thank you! I assume that if I booked a suite with jacuzzi, they wouldn’t put me to even a simple YC balcony… at least I hope.  Anyhow fingers crossed. I am really excited. Especially as I told my wife and kids that this year for saving money I only booked an interior cabin… I want to see their faces! Even more if a butler takes us to our duplex suite…

Sadly; the upgrade system comes by the experience purchased, not the exact type of cabin. YC is superior to Aurea and you'll have nothing to complain with: YC at the price of Aurea... How I'd like to have it, even if it was a simple YC Inside!... Enjoy the perks. But don't count on having a jacuzzi on your suite, once they may not have the same number of those on your new ship. And if it is an accessible cabin, do not find it odd either...

They could have given you a YC stateroom without a whirlpool. You actually got a better stateroom than one would expect with your upgrade.

The Duplex Suites on the Mera/Mera Plus Class are arguably the best on the ship. When I sailed Meraviglia, I was in the Royal Suite (1 bedroom/1 bath) but I seriously considered the Duplex Suite (1 bedroom/ 2 bath ) for my family of 4. The balcony for either stateroom isn't great but the rest of the stateroom more than makes up for it. 

As mentioned above, you get everything " Yacht Club " with the only exception being that you aren't in the actual Yacht Club enclave. It's not a big deal as you can just use your stateroom card or wristband to enter the Yacht Club areas. You still have your Spa access, too. 

I'd bet that 100% of people would rather have what you now have on Bellissima vs. what you previously had on Virtuosa.

I agree with you. I’m more than happy with this upgrade. Especially if it stays like that.

MSC Cruises

Everything you need to know about MSC Cruises cabins and suites

A relative newcomer in the North American market, MSC Cruises is equal parts elegant and kitschy. The line tends to appeal to a wide swath of cruisers, from Europeans who like to party into the wee hours of the morning to American families who book because of affordable fares and "kids sail free" pricing.

To satisfy its diverse passenger base, MSC offers accommodations to fit all types of travelers. Rooms include inexpensive inside cabins that sleep two people, midlevel staterooms with windows and balconies, and high-end suites that offer cruisers with larger budgets a private oasis in the form of the MSC Yacht Club .

A variety of connecting rooms and cabins with extra bunks accommodate larger groups and families who wish to share space.

Because your cruise cabin will be your home away from home for several days, it's important to book one that fits your needs. That's especially true if you're sharing it with several people.

Whether you're looking at an inside cabin for a cruise with friends, balcony accommodations for you and your significant other or a suite for your family, here TPG breaks down what you can expect when you book a room on one of MSC's ships.

For more cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

MSC Cruises cabin primer

MSC Cruises has become one of the fastest-growing lines in the cruise industry, with about two dozen ships in its fleet. The vessels fall into six classes : Lirica, Musica, Fantasia, Meraviglia, Seaside and World.

Although cabin offerings can vary from ship to ship and class to class, the standard types remain the same: inside, outside, balcony and suite.

Additionally, you'll find the same basic amenities in each room, unless otherwise noted below. They include two twin beds that can be joined to form a queen- or king-size bed; an in-cabin bathroom with a shower, a sink, a toilet and basic soap, shower gel and shampoo; a couple of nightstands; a chair or sofa; a desk/vanity; a closet; a safe; a hair dryer; a minifridge; a phone; USB outlets and a selection of both North American and European outlets.

On all ships except MSC Lirica, MSC Opera, MSC Sinfonia and MSC Armonia, you'll also find an interactive TV that allows you to view the daily schedule, check your onboard account and choose from a selection of live TV programs and movies.

Twice-daily room tidying is provided by a room steward assigned to each cabin, and room service is available throughout the day for an added fee.

One confusing aspect of MSC's bookings is that you'll have to select an experience package in addition to a cabin type. Package tiers determine things like your ability to choose a specific cabin and preferred dining time and whether you'll receive welcome amenities in your room. Certain cabin types are only available in conjunction with certain package experiences and vice versa. Those are noted in each respective section below.

Accessible cabins , including accommodations for wheelchair users, are available on every ship in MSC's fleet. In addition to more space, they feature wider doorways and lowered sinks and toilets in the bathrooms, as well as grab bars.

MSC Cruises' experience packages

Here's what you get when you book each of MSC's three experience packages, which determine the perks you'll receive on your sailing.

• Accommodations
• Complimentary food in the dining room and buffet
• Broadway-style theater entertainment
• Access to the onboard gym, pool and kids club

Inside cabins on MSC Cruises ships

Inside cabins — rooms with no windows — are available on all ships in the MSC fleet. Ranging from 140 to 301 square feet (depending on the ship), they make for great sleeping because they're so dark. They're also ideal for passengers who are on a budget.

In addition to the standard amenities mentioned above, they provide room for anywhere from two to four passengers to sleep. (Rooms that sleep more than two feature bunks that pull down from the ceiling.)

These cabins are available with the line's Bella and Fantastica experiences.

If you're sailing solo, some MSC vessels offer cabins for one outfitted with a twin bed that converts into a couch. These interior studio accommodations are only available with the Bella package on MSC Meraviglia , MSC Bellissima and the line's World Class ships.

Ocean-view cabins on MSC Cruises ships

Ocean-view rooms are similar to insides in that they provide basic amenities — but with a view.

Offering 129 to 269 square feet of space (depending on the specific ship and ocean-view category), these staterooms allow you to see outside through a porthole or a window that doesn't open.

MSC's outside cabins are available to passengers who book Bella and Fantastica packages.

Additionally, if you're traveling with your family or another group, several of MSC Cruises' ships — particularly those in the Meraviglia and Seaside classes — feature space for as many as 10 passengers via a series of connecting rooms. Options are available at the ocean-view and balcony levels.

Balcony cabins on MSC Cruises ships

You might be surprised to discover that most of MSC Cruises' balcony cabins provide less interior square footage than what's available in inside or ocean-view staterooms.

Balcony rooms run anywhere from 129 to 205 square feet, but their key feature is, of course, a private balcony, which does add an extra 32 to 129 square feet, depending on the vessel and specific type of balcony room booked. These cabins are bookable in conjunction with MSC's Bella, Fantastica and Aurea experiences.

Although balcony cabins offer upgraded amenities, including MSC's brand of hand lotion and toiletries, they are largely the same as inside and ocean-view accommodations.

MSC's newest ships — including those in the Meraviglia, Seaside and World Classes — house connecting balcony rooms that can sleep up to 10 in the same group traveling together.

Additionally, on its World Class ships, the line has introduced inward-facing balconies, similar to the ones Royal Caribbean pioneered in 2009 with the debut of its Oasis Class vessels . On World Europa, for example, they overlook the ship's promenade, offering views of the activity below, rather than the ocean.

MSC Cruises suites

All ships in MSC's fleet have suites that can be booked as part of the Fantastica and Aurea packages, but it's Aurea that offers the largest number of perks, as outlined above.

The several types of suites vary by ship in terms of size and amenities. Some come with balconies, while others only offer floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows.

Junior Suites

Although this room type is listed as a suite, it's essentially a balcony cabin with a bit more space — 183 square feet of interior accommodation with a balcony that ranges from 140 to 183 square feet.

Standard suites include rooms with huge balconies larger than the cabin's interior space and ones with private whirlpool tubs. They run from 269 to 355 square feet, with balconies measuring 32 to 409 square feet.

Grand Suites

Coming in between 377 and 420 square feet, with balconies spanning from 32 to 495 square feet, Grand Suites — found on Seaside and World Class ships — come in two types. They include standard one-bedroom Grand Suites, as well as two-bedroom varieties.

The latter has one bedroom with a queen-size bed and another with two twins. It sleeps up to five passengers and offers two bathrooms — one with a shower and the other with a bathtub.

While most suites are designed for double occupancy, some suite accommodations on MSC Bellissima, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Virtuosa and MSC Magnifica can sleep up to five people.

MSC Yacht Club suites on MSC ships

All cabins located in the MSC Yacht Club — an exclusive, gated area on select ships — are called suites, even the smallest and least expensive, which don't have windows or balconies.

Yacht Club suite types range from insides to two-deck duplexes, all of which come with butler and concierge services, luxuriously appointed furnishings (such as real marble finishes, memory foam mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets) and access to members-only restaurants, bars (alcohol is free there), lounges, pools and sun decks.

The Yacht Club features seven different types of rooms. Ships that have the MSC Yacht Club on board include MSC Bellissima, MSC Divina, MSC Fantasia, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Preziosa, MSC Seaside, MSC Seascape, MSC Seaview, MSC Seashore, MSC Splendida, MSC Virtuosa and MSC World Europa.

Note: Not all Yacht Clubs have the same suite types available.

MSC Yacht Club Interior Suites

Although these 161- to 226-square-foot cabins don't offer a view or fresh air, they are elegantly decorated and include all the Yacht Club benefits mentioned above.

MSC Yacht Club Deluxe Suites

These Yacht Club digs are the equivalent of a balcony cabin — but in a dedicated area that includes all the exclusive perks. They run 236 to 366 square feet and have balconies ranging from 54 to 86 square feet, so they also come with a bit more space, both inside and outdoors.

MSC Yacht Club Deluxe Grand Suites

Similarly, Deluxe Grand Suites are like the Yacht Club equivalent of booking a Grand Suite with more perks. Depending on the ship, they offer anywhere from 269 to 463 square feet of space, plus 65- to 129-square-foot balconies. Some Grand Suites also have two bedrooms instead of one. Further, these rooms on Seaside Class ships include bathrooms with bathtubs, as well as separate living areas.

MSC Yacht Club Duplex Suites

Rising two decks, MSC's duplex staterooms measure 495 to 635 square feet and come with 65- to 334-square-foot balconies. They feature living rooms with two-person sofa beds downstairs and master bedrooms upstairs, which also sleep two passengers.

Each of these accommodations comes complete with two walk-in closets and two bathrooms — one with a bathtub and one with a shower. Most duplexes on Meraviglia and World Class ships also have their own private whirlpool tubs.

MSC Yacht Club Executive and Family Suites

The line's Executive and Family Suites, available only on Fantasia Class vessels, are an excellent choice for anyone who wants to stay in the Yacht Club with a family or other group of more than two people.

This option, which is one type of suite (despite its confusing name), has space for up to five cruisers via a combination of bunk beds, sofa beds and beds that pull down from the ceiling, depending on the ship. The suites clock in at around 431 to 549 square feet, depending on the vessel.

The only drawback is that these staterooms have no balconies and no in-room dining areas, but they do include all the perks you'd find in Yacht Club cabins.

MSC Yacht Club Royal Suites

Although they only occupy one level, at 388 to 667 square feet, MSC's Yacht Club Royal Suites are right up there with the Duplex Suites in terms of space. They offer the second-largest amount of square footage after the Owner's Suites. They come with huge balconies comprising 355 to 753 square feet of outdoor area.

Additionally, bathrooms in these suites offer bathtubs on Fantasia, Meraviglia, Seaside and World Class ships, and the latter three have private whirlpool tubs, as well. All four classes' Royal Suites also include separate living room areas.

MSC Yacht Club Owner's Suites

The largest and most impressive of all MSC's cabins are the Owner's Suites found in the Yacht Club. Offering an impressive 840 to 1,119 square feet — larger than some land-based apartments — plus 269- to 670-square-foot balconies, they're some of the most luxurious rooms afloat.

Specific amenities vary by ship, but as an example, Owner's Suites on MSC World Europa offer floor-to-ceiling windows and walk-in closets. These accommodations on both the line's Seaside and World Class vessels also feature bathrooms with separate showers and bathtubs, as well as private whirlpool tubs and separate living room areas.

Bottom line

Although MSC Cruises' cabin types are straightforward, the line's add-on experiences can complicate things a bit.

Overall, what's key to remember is that MSC Cruises offers a wide variety of rooms and pricing to meet just about any budget or style of cruising. Each ship will offer accommodation choices from the least expensive, bare-bones interior rooms to the priciest suites, which come with butler and concierge services.

When you sail with MSC Cruises, you can expect function, style and comfort, regardless of the cabin type you book.
