MSC commits to Port Canaveral with deployments through 2028

MSC Cruises will offer more cruises from Port Canaveral, giving guests additional vacation options when sailing from the popular Florida port.

The line’s fourth World Class ship will join the lineup at Port Canaveral for the Winter 2027-2028 season, offering year-round seven-night Caribbean itineraries. The ship, which has yet to be named, will join MSC World America as the company’s second World Class ship operating in North America.

In the meantime, MSC Grandiosa will begin offering year-round seven-night Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral starting with the Winter 2026-2027 season, building upon previously announced plans to deploy the ship at Port Canaveral for an inaugural season during Winter 2025-2026. MSC Seashore will continue to offer year-round three- and four-night cruises to The Bahamas and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.

“Our commitment to Port Canaveral is stronger than ever, thanks to the incredible support from our partners there and the growing demand from our guests who love the port’s convenient location,” said Lynn Torrent, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, MSC Cruises USA. “Having ships dedicated to offering both short and seven-night cruises year-round will ensure we have the right options available no matter when someone wants to sail. We’re especially excited to bring a World Class ship to Port Canaveral, continuing our long-standing pledge to deploy our most modern and innovative ships in the Caribbean market.”
