MSC Cruises has revealed its lineup of winter 2027/28 U.S.-based cruises comprising seven ships sailing from three homeports. At the same time, the line is leaning on Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom to reprise their spokesperson duties in an all-new “Let’s Holiday” TV commercial, just in time for Wave Season.
The Winter 2027/28 U.S. deployment will include MSC World Atlantic’s inaugural voyages from Port Canaveral, as well as a four-ship lineup at PortMiami, and the continued presence of MSC Seascape in Galveston.
From Miami
MSC Cruises will sail four ships out of PortMiami during the 2027/28 winter season including:
- MSC World America – sailing alternating seven-night Eastern and Western itineraries, with all cruises stopping at Ocean Cay
- MSC Seaside – three- and four-night cruises to Nassau and Ocean Cay, including some itineraries with overnight calls at Ocean Cay
- MSC Seashore – sailing six- and eight-night itineraries to Grand Turk, Nassau, and Ocean Cay or Charlotte Amalie (USVI), Basseterre (Saint Kitts), Philipsburg (Sint Maarten), and Puerto Plata (DR)
- MSC Poesia – sailing 10- and 11-night itineraries to a various combination of destinations that could include Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Bonaire, Aruba, Curacao, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Belize, and Mexico.
From Port Canaveral
MSC World Atlantic will debut from Port Canaveral sailing seven-night Eastern (Grand Turk, Puerto Plata, Nassau, and Ocean Cay) and Western (Costa Maya, Cozumel, Nassau, and Ocean Cay) itineraries.
MSC Grandiosa will also sail from Port Canaveral, offering three- and four-night itineraries to Nassau and Ocean Cay, including some with an overnight stay at Ocean Cay.
From Galveston
MSC Seascape will continue its run from Galveston, sailing seven-night Western Caribbean itineraries calling at Costa Maya, Roatan, and Cozumel.
“Let’s Holiday”
After first appearing on America’s TVs during the 2025 Super Bowl, Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom are reviving their friendly transatlantic rivalry with a new commercial featuring more of the line’s mix of European style and American comforts.
The new commercial will debut in early 2026.
