MSC Meraviglia has become the latest MSC Cruises ship to return to welcome guests when she sailed out of PortMiami, Florida. This is a key milestone as part of the line’s global plan to have more than half of MSC Cruises fleet back at sea by the end of this summer.
Following MSC Cruises‘ initial restart in the Mediterranean in August 2020 and more recently the return at sea of more of its ships across the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, the UK and the Red Sea, the Italian brand is now making her comeback in the Caribbean out of U.S. ports.

MSC Meraviglia’s first 4-night cruise is visiting Nassau, The Bahamas and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, where the ship will stay overnight allowing guests an extended stay to discover the company’s new private island destination. Named the Best New Cruise Destination, the island offers guests more than two miles of white sand beaches in an eco-friendly 64 square mile marine reserve. Here guests can enjoy the island’s natural beauty, discover local marine life and soak up the spirit of The Bahamas with ships docking at the island from early morning into the evening and in some instances staying overnight. Guests can spend a full day enjoying activities for all ages including stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, thrilling wave runner rides and more.
