MSC Cruises is adding a cruise terminal to its rapid North American expansion. The cruise line announced this week that it has signed an agreement to build a new terminal at PortMiami.
Over the next 18 months, Miami will be the home for a number of MSC ships scheduled to homeport in Miami, including MSC Seaside, MSC Armonia, MSC Meraviglia, and MSC Divina.
“The new agreement and expanded partnership with PortMiami and Miami-Dade County is another key step forward in the business growth of MSC Cruises, as we continue to strengthen our global footprint, with a strategic focus on North America,” MSC Executive Chairman Pierfrancesco Vago said in a statement.
