MSC Poesia Cruise Ship Stops in Alexandria Port

 The magnificent MSC Poesia, a jewel in the MSC Cruises fleet, has made her home at the charming Egyptian port of Alexandria, providing guests with an absolutely enthralling cruise experience. When the MSC Fantasia arrived a year later, this magnificent 2,560-passenger ship—which had been launched in 2008—became the company's flagship and further cemented MSC Cruises' reputation for innovation and excellence.

The MSC Poesia transports guests to a realm of enchantment when it docks smoothly in Alexandria. The ship's huge atrium, exquisite Swarovski crystal staircases, and vast public areas all mix in well with the surrounding ancient marvels. The MSC Poesia, sister ship to the similarly spectacular MSC Musica, MSC Orchestra, and MSC Magnifica, was built by the renowned Aker Yards shipyard in France. These ships have all captured the attention of travellers with their breathtaking designs and top-notch amenities.

The MSC Poesia created history in 2008 when it was christened at the Port of Dover in Kent, UK, with the famous Sophia Loren serving as the ship's honorary godmother. This made it the first ship in the MSC Cruises fleet to be formally named outside of Italy. This occasion strengthened the ship's reputation as a cultural ambassador by bridging the gap between the Mediterranean region's rich history and the appeal of cruise travel worldwide.

In the early years of its existence, the MSC Poesia departed from the charming city of Venice on a series of seven-night cruises that took her visitors on tours of Italy, Greece, and Turkey. But since 2010, the ship has made its home in the magnificent waterways of Northern Europe, where it astonishes visitors with its amazing views of Scandinavian landscapes and ancient ports of call.

The chance to fully experience the ageless magnificence of Egypt tours to see incredible historic sites, such as the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Luxor, greets tourists as they depart the MSC Poesia in Alexandria. Travellers from all over the world are captivated by the MSC Poesia's unmatched elegance and life-changing experiences, which are the result of its flawless fusion of contemporary luxury and ageless cultural heritage.
