Starting December 2025, MSC Cruises will expand its offerings at Port Canaveral with the arrival of the MSC Grandiosa. This magnificent ship will provide 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, complementing the existing MSC Seashore's offerings.
More Options for Cruise Enthusiasts
With the introduction of MSC Grandiosa, guests will have even more options for cruising. The ship will alternate between 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, while MSC Seashore will continue to offer 3- and 4-night cruises to Nassau and the beautiful Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the cruise line’s private island in The Bahamas.
A Significant Milestone for Port Canaveral
Port Canaveral's CEO, Capt. John Murray, expressed his excitement about the new addition: "We are honored that MSC Cruises chose Port Canaveral for the North American debut of their magnificent MSC Grandiosa. This expansion highlights their confidence in our partnership and shared commitment to success. We look forward to welcoming all of their valued cruise guests to our beautiful port."
Growing Presence in the U.S.
Rubén A. Rodríguez, President of MSC Cruises USA, shared the company's enthusiasm: "The Winter 2025-2026 season will mark our largest presence in the U.S. to date, and our expansion at Port Canaveral is a big part of that. Since we started sailing from Port Canaveral in 2021, our guests have loved the convenience and unique international flavor of MSC Cruises. We're excited to offer two of our most modern and glamorous ships with itineraries that will appeal to everyone, from first-time cruisers to seasoned travelers."
