MSC Cruises has announced that it will operate more cruise ships from US ports in 2025-2026 than ever before. They are currently the third largest cruise line in the world with 22 ships in service.

MSC Cruises will operate seven ships from Miami, Port Canaveral, New York and Galveston between 2025 and 2026. All these cruises are also open for bookings.

Cruises from Miami

MSC Cruises will operate three ships from Miami: MSC World America, MSC Seaside and MSC Divina. The cruise line is currently building North America’s largest cruise terminal in Miami, where these ships can depart.

MSC World America will be the cruise line’s largest ship sailing from the US. It will offer seven overnight cruises to the eastern and western Caribbean.

MSC Seaside sails short cruises of three and four nights, as well as weeklong sailings. The cruises visit the Caribbean and the Bahamas.

MSC Divina will offer longer Caribbean cruises with sailings of seven, ten and eleven nights. The longer cruises visit the southern Caribbean.

Cruises from Port Canaveral

MSC Grandiosa will be the first Meraviglia Plus class ship to sail from the US. It will alternate seven overnight cruises to the eastern and western Caribbean.

MSC Seashore will also offer cruises from Port Canaveral, with shorter three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas.

Cruises from Galveston

MSC Seascape will sail seven overnight cruises to the Western Caribbean from Galveston. The port stops are Costa Maya, Cozumel and Roatan.

Cruises from New York City

MSC Meraviglia will continue sailing from her home port of New York in search of extended cruises to Florida and the Bahamas.

The majority of these MSC Cruises cruises visit the cruise line’s popular private island, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.

Rubén A. Rodríguez, president of MSC Cruises USA, said the following about adding more ships from the US:

“The 2025-2026 winter season will mark our largest US presence to date, with seven ships sailing from US homeports. We’re pleased to offer our guests more choices than ever before when it comes to embarkation ports, ships, itineraries and destinations, making it easy to find the perfect cruise.

We look forward to introducing MSC Grandiosa to Port Canaveral, launching MSC Seascape from Galveston and offering a new world of cruising aboard MSC World America to our guests embarking in Miami.

Combining world-class entertainment, dining and amenities onboard with the fantastic updates coming to Ocean Cay creates an incredibly exciting future that is perfect for everyone from first-time cruisers to our most dedicated fans.”
