MSC Cruises today announced an update to its planned deployment for the 2026/2027 winter season, reinforcing its historic presence in the Caribbean with the arrival of MSC World Europe to the French Antilles.
Originally scheduled to operate in the Middle East between November 2026 and April 2027, MSC World Europe will now offer 7- and 14-night itineraries, embarking in Fort-de-France (Martinique), Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe), and Bridgetown (Barbados). The itinerary will also include stops in Castries (Saint Lucia), Saint George (Grenada), Philipsburg (Saint Maarten/Netherlands Antilles), Saint John (Antigua and Barbuda), Basseterre (Saint Kitts and Nevis), Roseau (Dominica), and Kingstown (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines).
This adjustment will allow passengers to enjoy a winter sun holiday in one of the world's most sought-after warm destinations, aboard a ship that stands out for its innovative features and state-of-the-art onboard experiences, emblematic characteristics of MSC World Europe.
The change means that MSC World Europe will replace MSC Seaview, which will operate itineraries in Brazil and Argentina during the 2026/2027 winter season. This decision reaffirms MSC Cruises' commitment to offering a diverse and global selection, tailored to the demands of each market. The full MSC Seaview in South America will be announced soon.
Passengers and business partners who have booked MSC World Europe for the winter of 2026-2027 and their companions are already being contacted directly and will receive detailed and transparent information about the various options available, including the possibility of transferring their booking to another cruise or requesting a full refund.
Passengers who have booked MSC Seaview sailings departing from the French Antilles this coming winter will see no changes to their itinerary, dates, or overall cruise experience, so they don't need to do anything. This will be the first season for MSC World Europe in the region, one of MSC Cruises' most innovative ships, offering the latest in onboard design and amenities.
MSC World Europa will return to the Middle East in the 2027/2028 winter season, with planned stops in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas, Bahrain and Doha.
