MSC Cruises have announced that starting from April 2023 MSC Meraviglia will be homeporting in New York. For the first time in the cruise line’s history, one of their ships will sail year-round from the Big Apple, setting course to a variety of destinations in the Caribbean as well as the island of Bermuda, and autumnal cruises to New England and Canada.
This won’t be MSC Meravilgia’s first trip to the USA, in fact, in October 2019 the mega cruise ship made history as she officially became the largest cruise ship to dock in the city of New York, berthing at the north end of Pier 88 at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. This time round MSC Meraviglia will sail from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal throughout 2023.
MSC Meraviglia New York Itinerary Highlights
The Caribbean
MSC Meraviglia will sail 7 or 8-night Caribbean itineraries, featuring calls to Nassau and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, MSC Cruises’ stunning private island destination also in The Bahamas.
Canada & New England
MSC Meraviglia will head north on 10 and 11-night itineraries to Canada & New England featuring calls at Boston, Portland, Charlottetown, Halifax, Sydney, and Saint John. The longer 11-night itineraries include an additional call in Newport, Rhode Island.
Bermuda
MSC Meraviglia’s 6-night sailings from New York to Bermuda will feature three days docked at King’s Wharf combined with several relaxing days at sea either side.
“New York is one of the most incredible and vibrant destinations in the world so by adding the city as a year-round homeport for MSC Meraviglia we are greatly enhancing our offering in North America. The itineraries will have a very strong appeal not only for our guests in the U.S but also for international holidaymakers and given the huge range of intercontinental flights to and from the Big Apple, these sailings will be accessible to guests from all around the world.”
