MSC has announced that its new ship will be for the US market and will be called MSC World America.
The announcement coincided with construction work on the vessel officially commencing.
The MSC World America will officially start commercially sailing in 2025.
MSC Cruises USA president Rubén A. Rodríguez said: “MSC World America is testament to our ambitious growth plans in the US and Caribbean and further solidifies MSC Cruises as a major player in the North American market.”
The new ship will be fully LNG-powered. Its announcement follows MSC recently saying it will have five ships serving the US across the winter 2023-24 cruise season, representing its biggest US presence ever.
