Launched in April 2025, MSC World America sails year-round from PortMiami to the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Designed for families seeking adventure, the ship combines European style with American comfort and entertainment to create a global cruise experience.
The ship is organised into seven themed districts. Families can enjoy the ropes course, aquapark, and the fleet’s largest Doremiland in Family Aventura. Adults can unwind in the Zen Area, while the Aqua Deck delivers lively poolside entertainment. The World Galleria features shopping, bars, and a spectacular LED dome, while the Terraces host comedy shows and dining. The Promenade offers al fresco restaurants, bars, and the thrilling 11-deck Jaw Drop slide. While those seeking luxury can retreat to the MSC Yacht Club, the most expansive in the Caribbean, complete with private spaces and 24/7 butler service.
Dining is equally diverse, with Italian cuisine at Eataly at Sea, Greek-inspired dishes at Paxos, and family-friendly bites at Promenade Bites & Harbour Bar. Speciality favourites include Kaito Teppanyaki, Hola! Tacos, and The Butcher’s Cut, alongside casual options at Luna Park Pizza & Burger.
Innovation defines the onboard experience with high-tech venues like Luna Park Arena and the World Stage Theatre. Active fun awaits at the MSC SportsPlex with bumper cars and roller skating, while a hidden Speakeasy Bar adds a unique nightlife twist.
Miami is often called The Magic City for this magical feeling you'll notice when you arrive. As the sunshine wraps you in its warm embrace, Miami invites you to choose your own adventure. Where else but on a Miami cruise can you find the city's winning combination of tropical beaches, stunning sunsets, historic architecture, great shopping deals, multicultural diversity, rare wildlife and contemporary art?
A Miami cruise places you in the middle of the action. Once in the city, head to Miami Beach, where pastel hues and Art Deco accents line the historic buildings of Ocean Drive.
To the west, the star-lined streets of Calle Ocho (or Southwest Eighth Street) in Little Havana form this hub for authentic Cuban cuisine and live entertainment. The Dolphin Mall offers big name brands with big discounts, and it borders the Everglades, so why not take an airboat ride afterwards? You just might get up-close and personal with a 10-foot alligator.

Remark
A day at sea gives you the opportunity to recharge before docking at your next port. Enjoy the many amenities your ship has to offer by pampering yourself with a relaxing spa day, catching an entertaining show with talented performers, or savouring an evening of fine dining at one of our many restaurants. Stick to your fitness goals by heading to the gym or hitting the mat for a mindful yoga session. Peruse a variety of shops to discover fashionable outfits, accessories, and jewellery. With endless attractions and activities, your sea day experience will be one for the books.

Remark
A stop at the Dominican Republic during an MSC cruise to the Caribbean and Antilles means experiencing the everyday life of Santo Domingo. Earthquakes and pirates have erased most of the city constructed by the Spanish in the 16th century. In spite of this, the old colonial section of the city still contains some important well-restored examples of buildings from the period, which you will be able to easily visit once disembarked from your cruise ship. Some of the most important architectural sites include the Cathedral of Santa María la Menor and Alcázar de Colón, the former residence of the island's governor, which overlooks the nearby Rio Ozama. Five hundred years ago, the entire city of Santo Domingo fit into this small neighbourhood, which was restored and filled with bars and shops in the second half of the 20th century. Traces of the antique city walls as well as its entrance, Puerta de la Misericordia, can still be seen. Beyond the walls, Santo Domingo offers its visitors some enchanting spots. To the west of the colonial sector and to the north of Malecon, there is the district of Gazcue: a quiet residential area shaded by trees that plays host to the Plaza de la Cultura cultural complex.
Here, four museum stand within a short distance of each other: the Museo del Hombre Dominicano, the Museo de Arte Moderno, the Museo de Historia y Geografia and the Museo de Historia Natural. About 70 km from Santo Domingo, there is a popular natural tourist destination, a waterfall so perfect that it seems unreal, the Salto de Socoa. Santo Domingo is famous of its waterfalls, but this one is the closest to the capital and the most easily accessible of all; this MSC excursion to the Province of Monte Plata will let you experience first hand the marvels of the island's interior covered with lush vegetation. Keeping to the coast, another excursion will take you to the clear waters and white sands of Boca Chica, located just 40 km outside Santo Domingo.

San Juan

Remark
Blessed with some of the oldest buildings in the Western Hemisphere, San Juan, Puerto Rico's cap-ital, is romantically charming with its bright pastel Spanish colonial facades, wrought-iron balconies abloom with flowers, narrow cobblestone streets and beloved park squares. Once you arrive on an MSC Caribbean and Antilles cruise at the port, explore Old San Juan (Viejo San Juan), a UNESCO World Heritage district, widely renowned for the fortresses of Castillo San Felipe del Morro and the Castillo San Cristóbal. The old town occupies the headland of a 2.5-mile-long island (connected by bridge to the mainland) that shelters San Juan Bay, for centuries a key port in the New World. It was originally known as Puerto Rico, or "rich port," because its location made it the perfect stop for shipping. Several MSC excursions offer walking tours that let you soak up amazing views of San Juan, while making cultural discoveries of a lifetime.
Wander through the old town along the Paseo de la Princesa, San Juan's oldest tree-lined avenue; head up its southern city wall, La Muralla, which until the late 19th century encircled all of Old San Juan with sandstone; and tour the 16th-century fortress of El Morro, with its six different lines of defence.Take a coffee-tasting walking tour to explore Puerto Rico's rich coffee culture, and learn how the island's rich volcanic soil and climate have contributed to the rise of coffee as one of its main crops. Taste a delicious cup of freshly brewed Puerto Rican café con leche, learn about the island's historical ties with the caffeine-rich beverage, and explore how coffee and the church are connected on this MSC excursion through the streets of Old San Juan.With more than 80% of the world's rum coming from Puerto Rico, delve deeper into the spirit on an MSC excursion to Casa Bacardí in the town of Cataño. Discover the story behind Bacardí's legendary cocktails, sniff the products on display and learn about the rum-making process including wood barrelling, ageing and finishing. For the grand finale, enjoy a fascinating mixology show.Nature lovers will not want to miss a visit to El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. territory and one of Puerto Rico's finest spots of natural beauty. Marvel at its small horsetail waterfalls, giant ferns and tropical hardwoods.For an enchanting experience, kayak into the enchanting bioluminescent bay at Laguna Grande of Fajardo on another MSC excursion. Under the blanket of the night sky and the lighthouse of Fajardo, paddle through the water and watch it glow with the bioluminescence of millions and millions of tiny organisms.
