I Took MSC’s New Budget Alaska Cruise

Creator's Key Takeaways
Poisia feels calmer than modern mega ships, which is perfect for a week in Alaska. A place where you visit to get closer to the world around you.
I'd give the buffet experience on board about a seven out of 10 because there wasn't a ton of variety and not a lot of food options.
I am happy to tell you a lot of that menu and quality has found its way here onto the Poicia. There was always a good variety.

MSC Cruise Line just launched their FIRST Alaska cruise season aboard MSC Poesia... and I had to see what it was really like. In this video I take you onboard MSC Poesia for a 7-night Alaska cruise from Seattle visiting: • Ketchikan • Juneau • Icy Strait Point • Victoria, British Columbia • Dawes Glacier in Endicott Arm Fjord This sailing is quickly becoming one of the cheapest Alaska cruise options in 2026, but is it actually worth booking? I’ll show you: • the food onboard MSC Poesia • entertainment & nightlife • the updated MSC Yacht Club • glacier viewing from the ship • Alaska cruise excursions • the cabin experience • buffet & dining reviews • MSC’s Alaska cruise atmosphere • hidden viewing spots onboard • what surprised me most about cruising Alaska with MSC Along the way we’ll experience whales, glaciers, incredible scenery, and what it’s really like sailing Alaska on an older cruise ship that’s been heavily renovated for MSC’s new Alaska deployment. If you’re planning an Alaska cruise in 2026, considering MSC Cruises, or searching for a budget Alaska cruise vacation, this should help you decide whether MSC Poesia is the right choice.
