Miami to Homeport a Record Four MSC Cruises Ships This Winter

This winter, there will be more MSC Cruises ships sailing from Miami than ever before! The line’s schedule includes four vessels sailing from the south Florida city, marking a new record for its operations at PortMiami.

MSC Meraviglia will join MSC World America, MSC Seaside, and MSC Poesia in Miami for the season.

• MSC Meraviglia will operate mostly six to 14-night cruises from Miami, with many itineraries including a visit to MSC’s private island, Ocean Cay.
• MSC World America will continue its schedule of seven and 14-night eastern and western Caribbean cruises.
• MSC Seaside will continue its schedule of three, four, and seven-night voyages to the Bahamas. All sailings include a stop at Ocean Cay.
• MSC Poesia will operate mostly 10, 11, and 21-night sailings from Miami to the Caribbean and Central America.

To mark the four-ship milestone and to celebrate Veterans Day, MSC Cruises is holding a special celebration aboard MSC Meraviglia. The line is honoring MSC Group team and community members who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, who are joined by elected officials, community stakeholders, and PortMiami leaders for a ceremony aboard the ship.

“Today marks a historic moment for MSC Cruises as we welcome a record four ships to the MSC Miami Cruise Terminal, reinforcing our long-term commitment to South Florida and the region,” said Lynn Torrent, president of MSC Cruises North America. “With more ships sailing from Miami than ever before, we’re proud to offer guests even more ways to explore the Caribbean, from weekend getaways to extended holidays. This milestone is especially meaningful as we celebrate it on Veterans Day, recognizing the brave individuals who have served our country, including members of our own MSC Group family. We are proud to honor their service and dedication.”

MSC Cruises continues to strengthen its presence in the south Florida and Caribbean region. Earlier this year, MSC Group opened its new North American Cruise Division headquarters in the heart of downtown Miami. Last April, the line debuted its new terminal at PortMiami, the largest cruise terminal in North America.

“We are also proud to welcome MSC Meraviglia, MSC Poesia, MSC Seaside, and MSC World America, and to celebrate MSC Cruises’ milestone season with four remarkable vessels homeporting in Miami,” commented PortMiami Director and CEO Jonathan Daniels. “This continued growth underscores MSC Cruises’ strong commitment to our community and highlights PortMiami’s position as the Cruise Capital of the World and a premier global gateway for the cruise industry.”
