MSC Magnifica underwent a major refurbishment at Palumbo Malta Shipyard beginning October 29, 2025, in one of MSC Cruises' largest fleet upgrades of the decade. The project introduced MSC Yacht Club with 63 suites and added two specialty dining venues, Butcher's Cut and Kaito Sushi Bar.

MSC Aurea Spa was extensively redesigned, while the Technogym Fitness Center was upgraded with new workout studios, a Gentleman's Barber and an expanded outdoor Aurea area. The major refurbishment was completed in December 2025 before MSC Magnifica resumed Mediterranean service ahead of its 2026 World Cruise.
