Spanning 22 decks , each named after a city or port in the Americas, the ship has been three years in the making at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in France.

It will become the line’s American flagship when christened at its Miami homeport on April 9, 2025 before setting sail on week-long Caribbean cruises. While geared for the American market — with a redesign of 30 per cent of public areas compared with World Europa — the cruise line is also looking to attract Brits who can book fly-cruises from the UK or tack on a sailing with a land-based Florida holiday. MSC says World America, which has 2,614 cabins, combines European style with American comfort and taste.
