MSC Cruises Expands Offerings at Port Canaveral with New Caribbean Itineraries – Travel And Tour World

Monday, January 27, 2025
Today, MSC Cruises announced exciting new developments, expanding their offerings from Port Canaveral with more cruise options for their guests. The addition includes a yet-to-be-named World Class ship set to debut in the Winter 2027-2028 season, offering 7-night Caribbean cruises year-round. This new vessel will be the second World Class ship serving North America, alongside MSC World America.
Starting in the Winter 2026-2027 season, MSC Grandiosa will also begin its year-round 7-night Caribbean journeys from Port Canaveral, following its inaugural season there in Winter 2025-2026. Additionally, MSC Seashore will continue to provide 3- and 4-night cruises to The Bahamas and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve throughout the year.
Lynn Torrent, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, MSC Cruises USA, said: “Our commitment to Port Canaveral is stronger than ever, thanks to the incredible support from our partners there and the growing demand from our guests who love the port’s convenient location. Having ships dedicated to offering both short and 7-night cruises year-round will ensure we have the right options available no matter when someone wants to sail. We’re especially excited to bring a World Class ship to Port Canaveral, continuing our long-standing pledge to deploy our most modern and innovative ships in the Caribbean market.”
Capt. John Murray, CEO, Port Canaveral, said: “We are excited to have MSC Cruises expand their presence at Port Canaveral with the arrival of MSC Grandiosa and the deployment of their fourth World Class ship to homeport with us. The addition of these exceptional ships to our homeported fleet will add even more sailing options from Central Florida and reaffirm the cruise industry’s confidence in our ability to consistently deliver a world-class guest experience.”

Launched with MSC World Europa in 2022, MSC Cruises’ World Class platform is set to enhance the cruising experience further in April when MSC World America launches from Miami. This ship is primed to redefine luxury with features such as 19 dining options including Eataly—the only one at sea, 18 bars and lounges with innovative additions like All Stars Sports Bar and The Loft comedy club, and unique attractions like The Harbour—an outdoor family venue with features such as the Cliffhanger swing ride over water, a ropes course, and a water park. Other highlights include the World Promenade for shopping and dining beside ocean vistas, the three-story bustling World Galleria, and the Caribbean’s largest MSC Yacht Club, offering unparalleled luxury and privacy. Seven distinct districts on the ship ensure that every traveler can find their perfect vacation setting.
