MSC Poesia

An expansive fictional setting of decks, corridors and changing views of winter water.

MSC Poesia is a Musica-class ship. Its sequence of public spaces, quiet corridors and open decks forms the atmospheric frame of this site - always presented as a fictional setting.

In Access Denied, the ship frames a maritime mystery. The plot, characters and events are fictional, and this description does not refer to real events aboard.

Public spaces

The theatre, lounges, bars, reception and library span several levels - creating a ship of transitions and changing sightlines.

Open air

Three pool areas, seven whirlpools, a power-walking track and sports spaces shape the upper decks.

Finding your way aboard

Thirteen lifts connect the decks. Cabins, public areas and outer decks make for short routes - and long, quiet corridors.
