Curator’s statement

I have had the wonderful experience of sailing in the MSC Yacht Club on three different ships: Divina, Seashore, and most recently, the Meraviglia. The MSC Yacht Club is an excellent option for travelers who are looking for a more luxurious and personalized cruise experience. It's perfect for those who want to indulge in a high-end experience that includes exclusive access to private areas of the ship, personalized service and premium amenities. The MSC Yacht Club is particularly suited for travelers who value privacy, personalized service and a quieter atmosphere. The private lounge and pool deck offer a more tranquil and exclusive space away from the crowds on the rest of the ship. The Yacht Club is also well-suited for couples and honeymooners who are looking for a romantic and intimate experience. The Yacht Club is also an excellent option for travelers who want to enjoy a more upscale dining experience, with a dedicated restaurant that offers exclusive menus and personalized service. While the MSC Yacht Club is more expensive than the standard cabins on the ship, it offers a unique and luxurious experience that is well worth the extra cost for travelers who value a high level of personalized service and exclusivity.
