MSC Cruises has opened sales for its newest World Class ship.

MSC World Atlantic will offer alternating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Florida's Port Canaveral starting on November 13, 2027.

The cruise giant enlisted the help of Drew Barrymore, godmother of sister ship MSC World America, to make the announcement this week.

"When MSC Cruises first asked me to be the godmother of MSC World America, I was a little bit shy about it. I wasn't sure I was right for the role," Barrymore said in a statement.

"Then once I cut that ribbon last April, I went from shy to totally honored and I couldn't be prouder! And now that pride extends to being MSC World Atlantic's god aunt. I'll be the cool god aunt! And I know people will love sailing on the new ship when it arrives in Port Canaveral in 2027."

 

The fourth ship in MSC's fast-expanding World Class series will boast more than 400,000 square feet of public space, including seven onboard districts and over 30 bars, restaurants and lounges. Highlights will feature a vibrant new bar in Viva La Musica—celebrating Latin culture with music, salsa dancing and a wide choice of handcrafted cocktails—and The Clubhouse, a lively entertainment space which is new to the U.S.

"Our Port Canaveral guests love MSC Cruises' mix of European style and American comfort, and we can't wait for them to discover everything we have planned for MSC World Atlantic," said Lynn Torrent, President, MSC Cruises North America.

"We're building on the best of MSC World Europa and MSC World America by introducing new spaces, fresh entertainment options and unforgettable moments at sea—paving the way for guests and travel advisors to plan some incredible Caribbean getaways."
