MSC Cruises has previewed a new outdoor adventure park, dubbed The Harbour, which will debut exclusively on the upcoming MSC World America. Launching in April 2025, this cruise ship promises a raft of unique experiences tailored specifically for the US market.

The MSC World America is the second MSC World Class offering, after the MSC World Europe which launched in 2022, and the first LNG (Liquified Natural Gas)-powered ship to be deployed in North America.

The MSC World America will sail from Miami to the Caribbean, offering both East and West Caribbean routes. This family centric ship will have seven distinct districts, each offering a variety of activities and experiences.

These include the Family Aventura for kids and teens, an Aqua Deck for sunbathing and swimming, and the Zen Area for vacationers seeking relaxation.

Located at the heart of the ship’s open top-deck, The Harbour will combine stunning ocean views with both dry and water-based distractions.

During the day, guests can soak up the sun and enjoy the attractions, while at night, live musicians will transform it into an ideal spot to unwind beneath the stars.

Key features will include a 90-degree vertical drop slide for the daring, and a raft slide enhanced with virtual reality.

We’re also promised a rock wall to climb, and a High Trails ropes course, which employs Sky Rails similar to zip lines.

For the fearless, there’s a dry slide, the Jaw Drop, which spirals down 11 decks through the World Promenade, and Cliffhanger, an over-water swing ride that towers 50 metres above the ocean. Yikes!
