MSC Cruises’ New Dining Options for “MSC Poesia’s” Inaugural Alaska Season

MSC Poesia is getting ready to embark on her inaugural Alaska season and, to celebrate, MSC Cruises is ensuring travelers enjoy a true taste of the Last Frontier during their voyages.

New menus will incorporate regional flavors and more seafood, including locally sourced seafood as available. Items cruisers might see include halibut tacos or Alaskan salmon, seafood chowder or Alaskan cod.

Meanwhile, warming drinks will keep you cozy while you’re viewing glaciers. Hot chocolate will be available in the buffet and out on deck. Similarly, bars across the ship will get into the spirit of things with spiked hot chocolate and themed drinks, like the Lox & Loaded martini and the Un-Wined in Juneau.

“Our inaugural season in Alaska represents an exciting milestone for MSC Cruises, and enhancing the onboard dining and beverage experience to reflect the destination was a key priority for us,” commented Neil Palomba, executive vice president of operations, MSC Cruises USA. “We’re bringing our mix of European style and American comfort to MSC Poesia, giving our guests a chance to enjoy everything from the perfect cup of hot chocolate as they sail past stunning glaciers, to a taste of Alaska’s trademark seafood after an exhilarating day of exploring on shore. Our goal is for the culinary experience to match Alaska’s natural charm.”
