Switzerland-based MSC Cruises is set to continue its expansion in the U.S. with the introduction of a new ship named MSC World Atlantic, scheduled to launch from Port Canaveral, Florida, in 2027. This vessel is the fourth in MSC’s World Class series, which also includes the MSC World America, and aims to offer Caribbean cruises that integrate cultural experiences and flavors from across the Atlantic.

On December 10, 2025, MSC Cruises opened bookings for the inaugural cruise season of MSC World Atlantic, highlighting its unique onboard experiences.

Additionally, the MSC World Atlantic will introduce The Clubhouse, an entertainment venue designed for families, offering activities ranging from classic games to roller skating.

MSC World Atlantic is set to offer alternating seven-night itineraries starting November 13, 2027, that explore eastern and western Caribbean destinations including Grand Turk, Puerto Plata, and Nassau.

President of MSC Cruises North America, Lynn Torrent, shared enthusiasm for the ship, emphasizing its blend of European style and American comfort, coupled with fresh entertainment options for unforgettable moments at sea.

Passengers can also look forward to amenities like:

  • MSC Yacht Club: A luxury enclave offering exclusive lounges and suites.
