MSC Cruises Opens Sales for ‘MSC World Atlantic’, with Help From Drew Barrymore

MSC Cruises has opened sales for its newest World Class ship, MSC World Atlantic, offering Port Canaveral cruises starting in November 2027.

The ship will feature MSC Cruises’ signature mix of European style and American comfort alongside new venues, offering alternating 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises to some of the most iconic destinations – including Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, MSC Cruises’ private island in the Bahamas.

Actress and MSC Cruises brand ambassador Drew Barrymore – godmother of sister ship MSC World America – brought her signature humour and whimsy to the announcement in a video released today.

From the MSC Yacht Club‘s Top Sail Lounge, Ms Barrymore shares photos of her god daughter, remarking wistfully about how fast they grow up before realizing the arrival of a new sister must make her a god aunt. Actually, make that the “cool aunt.”

Ms Barrymore said: “When MSC Cruises first asked me to be the godmother of MSC World America, I was a little bit shy about it. I wasn’t sure I was right for the role. Then once I cut that ribbon last April, I went from shy to totally honored and I couldn’t be prouder! And now that pride extends to being MSC World Atlantic’s god aunt. I’ll be the cool god aunt! And I know people will love sailing on the new ship when it arrives in Port Canaveral in 2027.”

Lynn Torrent, President, MSC Cruises North America, said: “Our Port Canaveral guests love MSC Cruises’ mix of European style and American comfort, and we can’t wait for them to discover everything we have planned for MSC World Atlantic.

We’re building on the best of MSC World Europa and MSC World America by introducing new spaces, fresh entertainment options and unforgettable moments at sea—paving the way for guests and travel advisors to plan some incredible Caribbean getaways.”
