MSC Cruises is headed for Tampa next year where it will homeport MSC Armonia.
Starting November 2020 Armonia will sail to the Caribbean, Mexico and the Bahamas year-round.
It begins with four- to five-night short cruises from November 11, 2020 for the winter season followed by week-long sailings from May-November 2021.
Prior to the Tampa deployment the ship will go into dry dock for a refresh.
Winter itineraries include calls at Key West, Cozumel and Progreso, Mexico.
"As MSC Cruises expands its presence in the U.S., the introduction of Tampa as a homeport plays an important role in our long-term deployment strategy," said Ken Muskat, COO of MSC Cruises USA.
To mark the opening of sales for Tampa sailings, MSC is offering 20% commission for all bookings through March 12, 2020.
