MSC Cruises’ new MSC World America, which is set to debut in April 2025 in Miami, will feature seven distinct districts. The new flagship for fast-growing MSC Cruises will have a variety of spaces that fit into a recent trend for megaships to have smaller “neighborhood” spaces that offer a range of personality and functionality so cruisers can find a special place onboard that best suits their style.
Each district on MSC World America features its own atmosphere, facilities and adventures.
MSC World America will sail from Miami with 7-night itineraries to some of the most sought-after destinations in the Eastern and Western Caribbean, with stops at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve — MSC Cruises’ private island paradise in the Bahamas.
MSC World America’s Seven Districts
MSC Yacht Club
MSC Cruises offers MSC Yacht Club, the line’s signature ship-within-a-ship experience. It’s a private and secluded retreat and one of MSC World America’s districts.
Cruisers who stay within the MSC Yacht Club will enjoy personalized attention, with 24/7 butler service, priority embarkation and disembarkation, exclusive lounge and dining areas and more.

Family Aventura
Families can create memories to last a lifetime as they dive into their own dedicated district of fun at Family Aventura, located on the ship’s top deck. Family Aventura is centered around The Harbor, a revolutionary new outdoor park where families can play together, grab drinks and snacks, and soak up the sun. The Harbor offers a high ropes course and The Cliffhanger over-water rope swing, the first of its kind at sea. It also has a family area and a playground modeled after the iconic lighthouse at Ocean Cay.
Family Aventura is also home to Doremiland, the action-packed kids area with facilities featuring age-appropriate activities for everyone from babies to teenagers. The district’s nearby bumper cars, roller rink, high-thrill water slides and dry slide make Family Aventura the perfect place for families.
Aqua Deck
Relax and unwind at the Aqua Deck, the go-to destination for pool time and relaxation. The ship’s two spectacular main pools are surrounded by a versatile pool deck, where the mood changes throughout the day, providing a vibrant oasis for cruisers.
The district features wellness offerings and a tranquil atmosphere in the morning. This transitions to an upbeat and entertaining vibe throughout the afternoon, followed by high-energy parties at night.
Zen Area
High up at the stern of the ship, the adults-only Zen Area is an exclusive enclave for relaxation and rejuvenation. It is the ideal spot for quiet sunbathing and swimming with breathtaking ocean views.
Cruisers can chill out under the sun or stars by the twin pools and enjoy light music in this serene space.
Galleria
This is a bustling district at the heart of the ship. Lined with dining options, exclusive shopping and exhilarating games, Galleria is perfect for enjoying live music at the Dolce Vita Bar or grabbing an afternoon coffee and sweet treats at Jean Philippe Chocolat & Café. You can also find tasty grab-and-go favorites around the clock at Luna Park Pizza & Burger.
Galleria also includes the MSC Luna Park Arena, a high-tech entertainment venue perfect for hosting themed parties and gameshows.
The Terraces
This is the spot for nightly fun, with nine restaurants and bars, four retail shops and a comedy club that also hosts dueling pianos and late-night karaoke. The Terraces blends innovative dining concepts with a range of entertainment options aimed at adults in a mix of indoor and outdoor venues.
Cruisers can start the day by grabbing a smoothie at the juice bar and checking out watches and jewelry in the shops. Then, ease into the evening with a delicious dinner in one of the five specialty restaurants, serving dishes from around the world. High-energy DJ sets and laugh-out-loud comedy will be available to cap off the night.
Promenade
The Promenade is a vibrant outdoor space with spectacular views, framed by a spiral architectural masterpiece -- the thrilling 11-deck-high dry slide. The Promenade features the Emporium coffee bar with selections from around the world, lively evening activities, and drink and dinner options -- all accompanied by the sights and sounds of the ocean.
