MSC Cruises has opened bookings for its Winter 2026-2027 season, which will feature seven ships operating from four U.S. embarkation ports with circuits across the Caribbean, the Bahamas and more.

The cruise line will operate vessels from Miami, Port Canaveral, New York City and Galveston, offering various cruise lengths and destinations.

The flagship MSC World America will offer seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Miami. The Eastern Caribbean itinerary will visit Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas. The Western Caribbean route includes stops at Isla de Roatan, Honduras; Costa Maya, Mexico; Cozumel, Mexico; and Ocean Cay.

MSC Seaside will also deploy from Miami on shorter three- and four-night Bahamian getaways.
