MSC World America is set to make its debut in Miami in April 2025, featuring an exciting range of new bar and lounge concepts designed to elevate the onboard experience for guests.
As the latest flagship in MSC Cruises’ World Class platform, MSC World America will offer innovative venues and entertainment tailored specifically for the U.S. market.
The ship will introduce several firsts for MSC Cruises, including seven unique districts that cater to guests of all ages, allowing everyone to tailor their own vacation experience. Among the standout offerings is The Loft, a brand-new comedy club concept, and the All-Stars Sports Bar, set to become the ultimate destination for watching live sports at sea. Both venues are designed to meet the tastes of American cruisers and add a new layer of entertainment to the MSC cruising experience.
MSC World America is also enhancing its existing bar and lounge offerings.
For those who enjoy craft cocktails, there will be an expanded menu featuring upscale drinks, bourbons, and gin from American distilleries, as well as new American-style beers. Whether guests prefer a classic drink or something new, these options will appeal to a wide variety of palates.
BARS & LOUNGES
On board, guests will find plenty of new and re-imagined areas for lounging, taking in the stunning views or enjoying a show while sipping a hot coffee or an ice-cold cocktail:
- NEW! All-Stars Sports Bar: MSC World America‘s Promenade district will come alive for big sporting events. Guests can grab a drink and watch the game while enjoying food like wings and sliders. The lively and vibrant space will be home to signature sports bar games including interactive darts, digital shuffleboard and foosball, all building on the electric atmosphere. Best of all, the All-Stars Sports Bar features a large terrace with unrivalled ocean views for when the pressure surrounding a make-or-break play is just too much.
- NEW! The Loft: Guests can laugh, sing and dance at this new multi-purpose adults-only venue with a sophisticated and intimate atmosphere, featuring lively comedy shows, dueling pianos and classic karaoke nights. The Loft sits in the Terraces district, surrounded by a variety of bars and restaurants. It will be the perfect place to keep the party going after an evening of dinner and drinks, with entertainment running well past midnight.
- Elixir – Mixology Bar: The place to be for stylish and flavorful cocktails, mixologists at Elixir will create handcrafted beverages with refreshing Fever Tree mixers and fresh ingredients. Introduced aboard MSC World Europa, Elixir comes to the American market with a new focus on bourbon and bourbon-based cocktails—alongside an array of other spirits. Guests can stop by this cool spot in the Terraces district to enjoy a pre-dinner drink while watching the waves go by or sip on a nightcap under the stars before calling it a night.
- Masters of the Seas: This signature British-style pub will be at the heart of MSC World America‘s Terraces district with a lively and warm atmosphere for enjoying live music and drinks. The pub will feature MSC Cruises’ second full-scale micro-brewery at sea, offering a newly-developed range of signature beers from brew master Teo Musso of Baladin Brewery—an American-style lite beer, IPA and Pilsner—that are made from desalinated sea water. The new beers are brewed on recipes tailored to American beer drinkers’ tastes and will feature American hops. Plus, guests looking for authentic Miami flavor can order up beer from South Florida’s celebrated Cervecería La Tropical.
- The Gin Project: A haven for gin fanatics, this bar will feature 20 craft gins—sourced with a focus on American and Canadian craft gin distilleries—complimented by a curated selection of international favorites and a menu of classic botanical cocktails prepared by gin-tenders in the Terraces district. Guests can ask their gin-tender to be surprised with a cocktail focusing on fruity, floral or citrus notes. The bar will also feature a vintage Crawley’s shaker, where guests can test their hand at shaking their own botanical cocktails.
- Coffee Emporium: A sleek and modern coffee house that is any coffee connoisseur’s dream, offering some of the world’s best coffee beans and a selection of brewing and serving styles including French, Italian, Turkish and Moroccan.
SWEET TREATS
MSC World America will cater to those with a sweet tooth, whether they prefer adventurous new tastes or rich, classic flavors:
- ENHANCED! Sweet Temptations: After debuting to rave reviews aboard MSC World Europa, Sweet Temptations comes to MSC World America with a fresh new look and an even more impressive selection of confectionary wonders. Right in the heart of the Promenade district, Sweet Temptations will serve hand-crafted crazy-shakes, Venchi chocolates and gelato, self-serve frozen yogurt, make-your-own ice cream bars, hot crepes and waffles, donuts, and a variety of candies. The combination of treats, bright colors and fun activities will make everyone feel like a kid in a candy store.
- Jean Philippe Chocolat & Café: This chocolate-lover’s paradise is a staple aboard many of MSC Cruises’ ships for a reason. Guests can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, taste exquisite candies, and create their own chocolate bars from award-winning French chocolatier and pastry chef Jean-Philippe Maury.
MSC World America will launch in April 2025 and spend her inaugural season sailing from PortMiami in the Caribbean, with all visits including a stop at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line’s private island in The Bahamas.
