MSC Cruises will launch MSC World America in April 2025, bringing its largest MSC Yacht Club concept to North American shores.
According to MSC, the new flagship will be the first to include seven onboard districts "designed to let guests of all ages choose their own holiday adventure."
One of the ship’s seven distinct districts — the MSC Yacht Club — includes a secluded sanctuary within the wider ship.
Guests in one of the 152 suites have access to personalized service and exclusive spaces.
"As the demand for elevated cruise experiences grows, MSC Cruises is taking the lead by enhancing its industry-leading “ship-within-a-ship” concept," MSC said in a press release.
Cristian Comirla, brand performance director of MSC Yacht Club, said, “MSC World America will take our MSC Yacht Club product to new heights as the largest MSC Yacht Club in the North American market.
"With exclusive amenities, top-notch service and luxurious benefits, MSC Yacht Club offers a tranquil holiday for guests who prefer to have a more relaxing and secluded cruise experience, yet still have access to the excitement of the ship’s entertainment, specialty dining and other amenities.
"MSC Yacht Club guests on MSC World America will also have access to Ocean House at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, providing an elevated experience at our private island in The Bahamas with a private beach and restaurant coupled with personalized service.
"With an elevated onboard experience that extends once guests are ashore at Ocean Cay, there are so many benefits to sailing in MSC Yacht Club and we are thrilled to be offering the latest and greatest to MSC World America sailing in the Caribbean.”
Highlights of the MSC Yacht Club on MSC World America include:
- Expansive sundeck
- Multi-room Owner Suites—The ultra-luxurious Owner Suites
