MSC to sail celebratory cruise for new flagship
MSC Cruises will operate a celebratory short sailing next month when it hosts the naming ceremony for newest flagship MSC World America.
It takes place at the new PortMiami terminal.
Guests attending the naming ceremony will be among the first to experience the ship when they set sail on a celebratory sailing.
The sailing features an overnight stay at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
Events planned there include an evening lighthouse show and beach party.
MSC World America will be MSC Cruises’ first ship in the US market to be powered by LNG.
It becomes the second in the World Class series and has been specially designed to cater to North American guests.
Rubén A. Rodríguez, President, MSC Cruises USA, said: “ We look forward to seeing her sail out of our state-of-the-art cruise terminal. We are excited to bring our newest and most remarkable ship yet to Miami.”
MSC Cruises has invested heavily in South Florida, which includes the upcoming $100 million US headquarters in downtown Miami.
The PortMiami terminal has a capacity for up to 36,000 guests each day.
The terminal will support MSC Cruises’ continued growth at PortMiami.
Following the naming ceremony, MSC World America will set sail on an inaugural season with alternating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises.
They feature calls in Puerto Plata, San Juan, Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico.
