MSC Cruises’ newest ship, MSC World America, will arrive in Miami in two months and will be the cruise line’s largest ship sailing from a U.S. port.
Construction on MSC World America is finishing up and the cruise ship will sail her maiden voyage from Miami on April 12, 2025.
MSC World America will have everything from a Cliffhanger thrill ride to bumper cars to incredible dining. It will also have the only Eataly at sea and the only Dirty Dancing show. There will be 20 bars and lounges and 13 restaurants.
The ship features a Y-shaped aft, similar to every ship that is over 200,000 gross tons in size. It will have 22 decks,2,614 cabins and feature more than 420,000 square feet of public space.
The cruise ship is divided into seven districts and will have several unique features that are not found on any other ship. The seven districts are:
- Family Aventura – This area located on the top deck for families to play together
- Aqua Deck – The main pool deck with two pools
- Zen Area – An adults only Zen Area at the stern of the ship
- Galleria – An area lined with dining and shops
- The Terraces – Nine bars and restaurants, a comedy club, and four retail shops
- Promenade – Out door area in the aft the ship with an 11-story slide, lively activities, and drink and dinner options
- MSC Yacht Club – A ship-within-a-ship for the utmost luxury
Cliffhanger will be the only over-water swing ride at sea. Cliffhanger’s four seats start off close to the deck before powered arms lift them into the starting position, up and out over the edge of the ship.
From there, riders are propelled back and forth, high above the waterline and dangling 160 feet above the ocean below.
MSC World America is promising to be one of the best cruise ships for families with young children. The 10,000 square foot Doremiland will feature an elevated partnership with LEGO.
Activities in this area include:
- LEGO Parade
- LEGO Family Zone
- LEGO Game Show
- Boxes Family Game Show
