MSC World America Set for Spectacular Naming Ceremony at PortMiami in 2025

MSC Cruises has announced an exciting event set to mark a significant milestone in cruise industry history. On April 9, 2025, the MSC World America, the newest addition to the MSC Cruises fleet, will be officially named at a grand ceremony to be held at the company's state-of-the-art new terminal in PortMiami. This event promises cruise enthusiasts an unforgettable experience, combining traditional maritime rituals with a range of immersive onboard activities. The highlight of this event will be the time-honored breaking of a champagne bottle against the ship's hull, a ceremony that dates back decades and is thought to bring good luck to the new vessel and its voyagers.

The naming ceremony for the MSC World America is not just a celebration of the ship's entry into service but also an acknowledgment of MSC Cruises' significant investments in Miami and the greater North American market. Following the ceremony, guests will be treated to a special inaugural sailing, which includes a visit to the cruise line's private island, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. This exclusive destination will offer guests an overnight stay, complete with an evening lighthouse show and a vibrant beach party, reflecting MSC Cruises' commitment to providing unique and memorable experiences.

MSC World America stands as a new benchmark for cruising innovation, especially in the realm of environmental sustainability. As MSC Cruises' largest ship serving the U.S. market and the second ship of the pioneering World Class series, she brings together European design excellence with American comfort. The ship is notably powered by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), among the cleanest fuels available, signaling a significant step forward in reducing maritime emissions. With 22 decks, more than 2,600 staterooms, and an array of dining, entertainment, and leisure options, MSC World America is poised to redefine luxury cruising.

Central to the ship’s allure is its extensive range of amenities designed to cater to every passenger's desire. From an outdoor World Esplanade featuring stunning ocean views and LED light shows to an indoor World Galleria housing restaurants, bars, and boutiques under a state-of-the-art LED ceiling, the MSC World America offers a world of choice. With 13 dining venues, 20 bars and lounges, six pools, a grand water park, and exclusive areas for all age groups, the ship ensures an unparalleled cruise experience. Additionally, the MSC Yacht Club offers opulent suites and premium services for those seeking a more intimate and luxurious retreat.

The environmental initiatives of MSC World America highlight the cruise line’s commitment to sustainable operations. Equipped with the latest generation engines, the ship not only meets but exceeds the strictest international regulations for emissions and wastewater treatment. With technology designed to minimize waste, conserve energy, and reduce water usage, MSC World America symbolizes a new era of eco-conscious cruising. MSC Cruises' broader vision encompasses achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for its marine operations by 2050, underscoring a deep commitment to the health of our planet.
