MSC Bellissima Top Tier "MSC Yacht Club" 🚢 4 Nights, 24-Hour Butler Suite | Naha & Miyakojima
I spent four nights aboard MSC Bellissima, sailing out of Naha, Okinawa. I stayed in the MSC Yacht Club — the top-tier "ship within a ship." It's a key-card-only enclave with its own lounge, restaurant, sun deck and jacuzzi, and a suite with 24-hour butler service. Meals are taken in a private restaurant where a table is always free, no booking needed, and the nightly theatre show is watched from reserved Yacht Club seats. This 315-meter, 171,598-gross-ton ship carries over 4,400 guests, with an 80-meter LED ceiling screen, a crystal-clad three-deck atrium, bowling and F1 simulators. Along the way we called at Keelung, Taiwan for Jiufen, then Miyakojima for Irabu Bridge (3,540 m, Japan's longest toll-free bridge) and Nagamahama Beach. Please enjoy with subtitles on.
