MSC Cruises will name its highly anticipated new flagship, MSC World America, tonight in a dazzling ceremony at the line’s new state-of-the-art MSC Miami Cruise Terminal. This new terminal has been highly anticipated.
The event will culminate with MSC World America’s Godmother, Drew Barrymore, naming the ship by cutting a ribbon that breaks the bottle on the ship’s bow in a maritime tradition that wishes it good fortune. She will be joined by Orlando Bloom, who co-stars with Drew in MSC Cruises’ “Lets Holiday” campaign, which debuted during the Big Game earlier this year.
Drew Barrymore, MSC World America
Drew Barrymore, actress and host of the Drew Barrymore Show, said: “It’s such an honour to be MSC World America’s Godmother, and I can’t wait to cut that ribbon tonight and wish the ship smooth seas and good fortune for years to come. I’ve had a lifelong passion for travel, which has always fuelled my soul and left me with the most awesome memories. Millions of people will create their own memories aboard this beautiful ship as time passes, and I know they’ll have a blast experiencing everything MSC World America has to offer.”
It will be an event to remember, featuring live entertainment, inspiring speeches, and a range of onboard events highlighting everything the trail-blazing new ship has to offer. Guests will also enjoy a glamorous gala dinner and unforgettable performances ending with a spectacular drone and fireworks display against the Miami skyline.
The ultramodern new flagship is the second of MSC Cruises’ World Class prototype and ushers in a new world of cruising with reimagined venues, entertainment, and dining concepts that seamlessly blend MSC Cruises’ signature elegant European design with North American comfort, appealing to travellers seeking global adventures.
MSC World America will also be the first ship in MSC Cruises’ fleet to feature seven onboard districts, each with its own atmosphere, facilities, and experiences. These districts are designed to help guests choose their own holiday experience and maximize their time on board.
Naming Ceremony
After the Naming Ceremony, guests will sail on a two-night celebratory journey to the cruise line’s stunning private island in the Bahamas—Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. While on the island, the MSC Foundation will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to inaugurate its new Marine Conservation Centre. The facility will serve as a hub for scientists and students involved in the Foundation’s Super Coral Reefs Program and a place where guests can learn more about the program’s mission to restore coral reefs that have been impacted by climate change.
While on the island, guests will also be treated to Ocean Cay’s signature evening lighthouse show and DJ beach party, before spending an afternoon at sea, where they will be invited to experience the ship’s wide range of world-class amenities and experiences.
