MSC Cruises has announced that it will host the naming ceremony for its latest flagship, MSC World America, at the new PortMiami terminal on 9th April 2025.
Including the traditional breaking of a champagne bottle, the highly anticipated ceremony will honour MSC Cruises’ investment in Miami and its commitment to the North American market. During the ceremony, there will be a host of immersive onboard events highlighting everything Miami’s newest, ultramodern ship has to offer to its upcoming guests.
Those guests attending the naming ceremony will be among the first of many to discover a whole new world of cruising as they set sail on a celebratory voyage onboard the new ship, calling at the cruise line’s private island- Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. This special sailing onboard MSC World America will include an overnight stay at Ocean Cay, featuring the island’s signature evening lighthouse show and beach party.
MSC World America will be the cruise line’s first ship in the US market to be powered by LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). The ground-breaking 22-deck World Class ship features unique restaurants, bars, and experiences that seamlessly blend European design with American comfort.
“There is no better place to welcome MSC World America than the cruise capital of the world. We look forward to seeing her sail out of our state-of-the-art cruise terminal built in partnership with Miami-Dade County and PortMiami. As we build upon our offering in the North American market and help attract more international guests to the Caribbean, we are excited to bring our newest and most remarkable ship yet to Miami. We eagerly await April 2025, when we can welcome guests onboard to experience the world of choice that our new flagship has to offer.”
Rubén A. Rodríguez, President, MSC Cruises USA
