MSC Cruises will hold the official naming ceremony for its MSC World America ship, in Miami, on April 9, 2025.
Next year’s ceremony will take place at MSC Cruises’ new state-of-the-art cruise terminal in Miami, which cements the cruise giant’s commitment to the North America market.
Rubén A. Rodríguez, President, MSC Cruises USA, said: “There is no better place to welcome MSC World America than the cruise capital of the world. We look forward to seeing her sail out of our state-of-the-art cruise terminal built in partnership with Miami-Dade County and PortMiami. As we build upon our offering in the North American market and help attract more international guests to the Caribbean, we are excited to bring our newest and most remarkable ship yet to Miami. We eagerly await April 2025, when we can welcome guests onboard to experience the world of choice that our new flagship has to offer.”
The launch of MSC World America at MSC Cruises’ new PortMiami terminal, coupled with MSC Cruises’ upcoming $100m US headquarters in downtown Miami, underscores the Company’s unwavering dedication to South Florida. The PortMiami facility is poised to revolutionise the cruising experience for up to 36,000 guests each day. The terminal will support MSC Cruises’ continued growth at PortMiami.
Following the naming ceremony, MSC World America will set sail for her inaugural season on 12 April 2025. She will sail alternating 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries with stops in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; Isla de Roatan, Honduras; and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in The Bahamas.
MSC World America will be MSC Cruises’ first ship in the U.S. market to be powered by LNG. MSC World America is the second of the line’s groundbreaking World Class ships and is specially designed with the North American guest in mind, featuring unique restaurants, bars and experiences that seamlessly blend European design with American comfort.
