MSC’s long-awaited MSC World America will make its grand debut on April 12, 2025. The seven-day maiden voyage starts in Miami, the largest cruise port in the world, with stops in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas before returning to Miami. Travelers who wish to make this trip aboard a new ship last a little longer can opt for the 14-day option, which combines the sailing experience above to the western Caribbean with stops in Mexico and Honduras.

MSC World America, currently still under construction in France, is the sister ship to MSC World Europa, the largest ship sailing the Mediterranean. While similar, MSC World America will feature the first overwater swing ride in the world, a ropes course, a shark-shaped slide named the Jawdrop, a sports bar, and the first Eataly at sea — all of which travelers will be able to try out during this maiden voyage.
