Thursday, May 30, 2024 MSC Cruises announced a significant expansion of its vacation offerings with a new array of itineraries for the Winter 2025/2026 season, launching from its four American homeports. Available for booking now, the season features seven ships setting sail from Miami, Port Canaveral, New York City, and Galveston. Key highlights of the season include: Most voyages will visit the Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, MSC Cruises’ private island in The Bahamas, where guests can enjoy the latest upgrades as part of an ongoing extensive enhancement project.

MSC Grandiosa’s introduction at Port Canaveral brings the Meraviglia-Plus Class ships to the U.S. market for the first time, offering new experiences to North American travelers with alternating 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises, as well as shorter 3- and 4-night trips on MSC Seashore to Nassau and Ocean Cay.

This season also introduces the first departures from Galveston on the family-centric MSC Seascape, which combines sophistication with entertainment across 11 dining options, 19 bars, an aft infinity pool, cutting-edge clubs for kids and teens, and the exclusive MSC Yacht Club. Launching in April 2025, MSC World America from PortMiami will transform cruising with seven distinctive districts designed around passenger preferences, featuring the Cliffhanger, the pioneering over-water swing ride. This ship will host 7-night alternating journeys to the Eastern and Western Caribbean during the Winter 2.
