Scenic Cruising Removed From MSC Poesia Alaska Itineraries

MSC Cruises has announced that the MSC Poesia will no longer include scenic cruising in Endicott Arm for its final three Alaskan sailings of the 2026 season. This change is due to navigational challenges that have made it unsafe for the ship to enter the area. Guests who had hoped to experience the stunning views of the glaciers and wildlife will need to adjust their expectations. MSC is working to provide alternative experiences for guests during these sailings to ensure a memorable trip despite the change.
💡 What This Means For You

Guests on the last three Alaskan sailings of MSC Poesia will miss out on scenic cruising in Endicott Arm.
