MSC Cruises is expanding its presence in Port Canaveral with a second ship, bringing more seven-night sailings and more short cruises to the Bahamas.
The MSC Grandiosa will begin sailing from the port in December 2025, along with the MSC Seashore, according to a press release.
“We are honored that MSC Cruises has chosen Port Canaveral for the North American debut of its magnificent MSC Grandiosa,” said Captain John Murray, CEO of Port Canaveral.
“We are very proud of our cruise partner and its tremendous growth in the United States. The expansion of its homeported fleet at Port Canaveral underscores its confidence in our partnership and its shared commitment to success. We look forward to welcoming all of its valued guests to our beautiful port“.
The MSC Grandiosa will offer alternating 7-night itineraries through the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Meanwhile, the MSC Seashore will sail three- and four-night cruises to Nassau and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the line's private island in the Bahamas.
Rubén A. Rodríguez, President of MSC Cruises USA, stated: “The 2025-2026 winter season will mark our largest presence in the United States to date, and our expansion in Port Canaveral is a big part of that. Since we began sailing from Port Canaveral in 2021, our guests have told us they love how convenient it is to experience MSC Cruises’ unique international flavor.”
“We know that people sailing from Central Florida want options, and we are thrilled to offer two of our most modern and glamorous ships with itineraries that will appeal to everyone from first-time cruisers to seasoned veterans.”“.
