MSC Poesia continues its national tour with a stop by Brisbane

After an overnight stay in SydneyMSC Poesia has been welcomed in Brisbane, as she sails the east coast of Australia on her 119-day world cruise from Genoa, Italy.

Sister ship, MSC Magnifica also departed Genoa, Italy on 5 January for simultaneous world cruises. Sailing together for the start of the cruises, the two ships parted ways at the edge of the Mediterranean for different routes around the globe. MSC Magnifica will reach New Zealand shores with a stop in Auckland on 8 March and Hobart, Australia on 15 March.

In honour of the maiden call to this subtropical city in the sunshine state of Queensland, MSC Cruises organised events onboard. MSC Cruises invited travel agents to allow them to familiarise themselves with the unique MSC Cruises offering. 

“We have been delighted by the number of agent partners who are excited to tour MSC Poesia in Brisbane,” said Lisa Teiotu, commercial director of MSC Cruises Australia and New Zealand.

The sales for our 2025 World Cruise opened last week and we already have bookings, so having a ship in port provides a great opportunity for our trade partners to see one of our Musica class of ships, used for our World Cruises, first hand”.

MSC Poesia departs Brisbane the same day and will then make her maiden call in Cairns on 3 March.
