MSC Cruises has opened reservations for sailings aboard its newest vessel, MSC World Atlantic, which is scheduled to enter service from Port Canaveral, Florida, in November 2027. The ship is the fourth in the cruise line’s World Class series and will operate alternating 7-night and 14-night voyages to destinations in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. 

The Caribbean itinerary structure for World Atlantic includes calls at longstanding MSC destinations such as the private Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve and Nassau in the Bahamas, as well as Mexican ports Cozumel and Costa Maya, Grand Turk Island in the Turks and Caicos, and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. 

Configured with extensive public spaces and a broad selection of bars, restaurants and lounges, the ship continues the World Class design philosophy that integrates European style with amenities aimed at the U.S. market. The deployment from Port Canaveral reflects the line’s strategy of positioning advanced tonnage at key embarkation hubs with straightforward transport access for both domestic and international passengers. 

Bookings for MSC World Atlantic sailings in the winter 2027–2028 season and beyond are now available through the cruise line’s reservations channels, with the vessel’s debut season set to expand MSC Cruises’ year-round Caribbean presence from Port Canaveral.
