Join us for a couple minutes as we hop aboard the brand-new MSC World America, which set sail on its maiden voyage from Miami on 12 April 2025. This grand vessel, the second of
MSC Cruises' innovative World-class fleet and its first ship specifically designed for the US market, spans 22 decks and accommodates over 6,700 guests. For families, it’s a dream come true. This cruise ship offers everything from epic thrill rides and immersive kids’ zones to fine dining and serene spa retreats. It’s designed to let every generation enjoy the fun while treating parents to a genuine break.
MSC World America is part of MSC’s World Class fleet and marks a significant step forward in sustainable and experiential cruising. At over 330 metres long, it offers space, variety, and modern comforts in abundance, blending sleek European design with the bold energy of American-style holidays. One of its most iconic features is the World Promenade. This open-air deck wraps around the back of the ship, offering uninterrupted sea views, making it the ideal spot to catch sunset shows, street performances, or simply enjoy a drink with a view.
Inside, the World Galleria features a spectacular ceiling with a curved LED dome that brings the space to life with vibrant light displays. Surrounded by shops, cafés, and lounges, it feels like a buzzing city centre at sea. It is the perfect place to unwind between on-shore adventures.
Its design splits the ship into distinct districts, each crafted with a different holiday mood in mind. From buzzing family areas to relaxing spa zones, you can experience multiple holiday vibes without ever stepping off the ship.
The ship sails primarily to sun-soaked Caribbean destinations from Miami, with itineraries including MSC’s private island, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, a slice of Bahamian paradise designed for eco-friendly exploration.
Family-Friendly Features Onboard MSC World America
Families are truly at the heart of MSC World America. The new Family Aventura District has been designed to delight children and teenagers, while keeping grown-ups smiling.
One of the standout attractions is Cliffhanger, the first-ever over-water swing ride at sea. Suspended high above the ocean, it delivers jaw-dropping views and a burst of adrenaline. The Harbour, a brand-new family area, features a playground, splash zones, and zip lines, creating a space where children can burn energy and parents can join in or relax nearby.
The AquaPark is one of the largest at sea, with towering slides, water cannons, and multi-level pools that keep kids entertained for hours. And when it’s time for a break, MSC’s dedicated kids’ clubs provide supervised activities for every age group – from babies and toddlers through to teens – so parents can enjoy some well-earned downtime.
Family staterooms sleep up to six, and larger groups can book interconnecting cabins to keep everyone close while still enjoying personal space.
