MSC Group’s Cruise Division has officially opened its new North American headquarters in downtown Miami.

The 130,000-square-foot headquarters, which occupies the entire seventh floor at Block 55 at Sawyer’s Walk, represents a $100 million investment in the region. It brings more than 400 team members from across MSC Group entities together under one roof. 

The new headquarters is expected to support 1,500 additional jobs over the next three years and generate $300 million annually in recurring economic impact for Miami-Dade County.

“Our new North American Cruise Division headquarters reflects the scale of our ambitions for both MSC Cruises and Explora Journeys,” says Rubén A. Rodríguez, chief executive officer of MSC Group’s North America Cruise Division. “We are creating an environment that fosters collaboration, innovation and shared purpose as we continue expanding our footprint, deploying more ships, welcoming more guests and strengthening our presence across U.S. homeports.”
