history

Construction of the MSC Poesia

After the ship was christened in Dover on April 5, 2008 by the Italian actress Sophia Loren , the ship set sail on April 6, 2008 for the two-week maiden voyage. In 2008 and 2009, the Eastern Mediterranean was the MSC Poesia's operational area , and the Caribbean was opened for the first time in December 2009 . Since 2010 the MSC Poesia has been cruising areas in Northern Europe in the summer . Her trips went weekly from Kiel to the Baltic Sea or Norway . The last time the ship was in the Caribbean was between winter 2012 and spring 2013, and the MSC Poesia was used in South America between winter 2013 and spring 2014 . Since May 2014, MSC Poesia has made 19 Northern Europe cruises every Sunday from its new base port in Warnemünde. The ship is currently sailing the eastern Mediterranean from Venice and Istanbul.

Incidents

MSC Poesia in the Kiel Fjord

On June 6, 2008, the MSC Poesia collided with the Costa Classica off Dubrovnik when the MSC Poesia's anchor loosened at wind speeds of 25 knots . There were no injuries and the damage was minimal.

The MSC Poesia hit a reef off Lucayan Beach on Grand Bahama on January 7, 2012 . The ship had to be secured by tugs to avoid being pushed further onto the reef by the wind. During the evening high water, the cruise ship was pulled from the reef, which is only 4.5 m deep, with three tugs. The ship was not damaged, the passengers were brought ashore in dinghies . The incident took place on the music cruise "Holy Ship".

The MSC Poesia broke free on June 15, 2013 at Kiel's Ostseekai, a strong gust of wind pushed the stern of the ship into the port of Kiel. The bridge crew maneuvered the ship back to the quay wall undamaged.
