Step aboard MSC World America, MSC Cruises’ bold new flagship that’s changing the game — and doing it in style. Launched in 2025, this 22-deck, LNG-powered megaship — built specifically for the U.S. market — blends European elegance with American ease, all while delivering a next-level travel experience.
A Grand Debut Under the Miami Sun
On April 9, 2025, MSC World America was officially christened at MSC’s new Port Miami terminal, followed by a celebratory maiden voyage to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. Her inaugural season began a few days later, on April 12, sailing alternating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. Ports of call include Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic), San Juan (Puerto Rico), Costa Maya, Cozumel (Mexico), and Isla de Roatán (Honduras) — with every trip featuring a stop at the breathtaking Ocean Cay.
Seven Distinct Districts — Each With Its Own Vibe
One of the most ambitious design features of MSC World America is its seven onboard districts, each curated to offer a unique atmosphere and activity mix.
The Harbour: A family paradise with a water park, ropes course, dry slides, and a whimsical playground crafted to evoke the feel of Ocean Cay.
Cliffhanger: The only over-water swing ride at sea — soaring high above the ocean for a thrilling rush of wind and views.
World Promenade: A show-stopping LED-lit promenade that evokes the heart of a glittering seaside city.
Entertainment Districts: From the multi-purpose Luna Park Arena to the elegant World Theatre, there’s no shortage of live music, shows, and themed experiences.
Dine in Style — From Street Food to Sophisticated Flavors
Foodies, take note: MSC World America brings more than just cruise cuisine. The ship’s 19 dining venues include:
Eataly at Sea: The only Eataly restaurant in cruising, serving freshly made pasta and Italian classics.
Paxos Greek Restaurant: A rooftop-style taverna with seafood, live music, and al fresco charm.
Kaito Teppanyaki & Sushi Bar: Watch expert chefs perform culinary theatre right at your table.
Butcher’s Cut: An American-style steakhouse with prime cuts and bold flavors.
Hola! Tacos & Cantina: Festive Latin street food in a fast-casual venue — perfect for laid-back lunches or late-night bites.
Elegance at Sea: Yacht Club & Luxury Retail
For those seeking the ultimate in refined seafaring, the MSC Yacht Club offers a luxurious “ship within a ship.” Over seven upper decks, you’ll find:
- 152 elegantly appointed suites
- 24/7 butler and concierge service
- Private pool, lounge, and dining
And if you love to shop, you’re in luck. World America features nine boutiques across more than 1,000 m² of retail space. You’ll discover designer names like Louis Vuitton, Hermès, and Chanel, as well as a lab-grown diamond shop from Sif Jakobs, luxury timepieces at TimeVallée, and fine jewelry from Chopard and Messika.
Thrills, Relaxation & Everything In Between.
- Cliffhanger, as mentioned, is a showstopper — the only swing ride that extends over the water.
- MSC SportPlex features bumper cars, games, and high-tech entertainment for all ages.
- Aurea Spa offers wellness in high style, while cozy sun decks and cabanas around the ship invite moments of peaceful indulgence.
- For family fun, The Harbour is a standout with its water slides, climbing walls, and state-of-the-art playground.
Big-Stage Entertainment & Social Spaces
MSC World America doesn’t hold back — its entertainment options are serious. Two of note:
World Theatre: Broadway-style productions and large-scale performances.
Luna Park Arena: A futuristic, immersive venue for shows, concerts, and themed events.
The Loft: A multi-purpose lounge for comedy nights, karaoke, and late-night DJ sets.
Environmentally Forward
This ship is forward-thinking not just in design but also in sustainability: it’s powered by LNG (liquefied natural gas), making it cleaner and more efficient than many traditional cruise ships.
