MSC Cruises has opened bookings for its newest ship, MSC World Atlantic, which begins sailing from Port Canaveral in November 2027. The ship will offer MSC’s blend of European style and American comfort, introduce several new venues, and operate alternating 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries that include Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
Drew Barrymore announced the news in a video. As the godmother of MSC World America, she joked that the new sister ship makes her the “cool god aunt” and said she’s proud to be involved and looks forward to guests sailing on MSC World Atlantic.
As the fourth ship in the World Class series, MSC World Atlantic will offer more than 400,000 square feet of public space and over 30 bars, lounges, and restaurants, including favorites like Butcher’s Cut and Kaito Teppanyaki, plus new additions.
