MSC Cruises will sail its fourth World-class ship out of Florida's Port Canaveral in the winter 2027-2028 season, operating seven-night Caribbean cruises. That ship doesn't have a name yet.

The ship will be MSC's second World-class ship based in the U.S. The World America will debut in April, sailing seven-night eastern and western Caribbean cruises out of Miami.

MSC is growing its presence in Port Canaveral. The MSC Grandiosa will sail seven-night Caribbean cruises from that port in winter 2025-2026 and again in winter 2026-2027. The MSC Seashore currently sails a mix of three- to 11-night sailings from the port, but will shift to three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas and private island Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve from Port Canaveral in winter 2025-2026.
