MSC Poesia is a cruise ship owned and operated by MSC Cruises. She was built in 2008 by the Aker Yards shipyard in St. Nazaire, France. She is a sister ship to MSC Musica, MSC Orchestra, and MSC Magnifica.[1][4][10]. She is the first ship in the MSC Cruises fleet to be officially named outside of Italy, at the Port of Dover, Kent on April 5, 2008 by Sophia Loren.[7]

MSC Poesia docked in Ajaccio

MSC Poesia was the flagship of the company until she was displaced by MSC Fantasia, which entered service in December 2008.[13]

Collision with Costa Classica

On June 6, 2008, MSC Poesia and Costa Classica collided in the Adriatic Sea near Dubrovnik. No one was hurt, and the damage was minimal. The cause of it was that MSC Poesia's anchor loosened and precipitated her to hit Costa Classica. Both continued their scheduled itinerary with no delays.[14][15][16]
