MSC Cruises’ MSC Meravigila Arrives To Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

MSC Cruises MSC Meraviglia has officially arrived in the Big Apple!

On Saturday, April 22, 2023, MSC Meraviglia will sail from New York to the Bahamas, Florida, Canada, New England, and Bermuda. New York City holds the honor of becoming MSC Cruises’ third homeport in the United States, marking the first time the brand will offer year-round trips from the Northeast. 

“When we chose New York as the next step in our North American expansion, we knew that MSC Meraviglia would be the perfect ship, given her versatility and offerings for a wide variety of climates. She’s big and innovative, she offers something for everyone, and now she’s more accessible than ever for our guests in and around New York. We’re thrilled to give guests from the Northeast a direct link to our private destination—Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve—which is part of our fantastic itineraries to The Bahamas. As the year goes on, they’ll have other options like spending several days exploring Bermuda, or heading north for the breathtaking fall foliage in Canada and New England.”
