The final countdown is on, as MSC Cruises prepares to welcome its new flagship—MSC World America—to Miami next month. The ship will usher in a new world of cruising, going far beyond the typical vacation experience with new venues, new entertainment and dining concepts and seven onboard districts designed to help guests choose their own holiday experience.
Now, Orlando Bloom is getting in on the excitement. Bloom starred in MSC Cruises’ Big Game commercial and continues to represent the brand in its ongoing “Let’s Holiday” ad campaign. Known for his love of adventure and meaningful travel experiences, the acclaimed actor praised the ship’s dynamic blend of European style and American comfort.
Bloom said: “MSC World America has something for everyone, whether you are into thrilling rides, world-class dining, or immersive entertainment. It’s an incredible way to travel, and it makes it easy and accessible for people to explore new places and create unforgettable memories. I’ve always thought the best kind of holiday combines adventure, discovery, and comfort, which is exactly what you get with MSC World America. Imagine soaring over the ocean on the Cliffhanger swing ride, dining at the only Eataly restaurant at sea, or enjoying ‘Dirty Dancing in Concert.’ Every moment is unforgettable.”
Here are Bloom’s most anticipated experiences on MSC World America:
NEW! CLIFFHANGER: THE ULTIMATE ATTRACTION FOR THRILL SEEKERS
Thrill seekers who want a rush of excitement will find it in the state-of-the-art Cliffhanger—the only over-water swing ride at sea—nestled in the heart of the Family Aventura district. Cliffhanger will swing four people at a time from the top deck out over the water, dangling 50 metres above the ocean below.
NEW! THE HARBOUR: THE GO-TO OUTDOOR DESTINATION FOR FAMILIES
The Harbour is designed for kids and families to engage in outdoor activities, enjoy delicious food and soak up the sun in the Family Aventura district. It will be the go-to destination for families from morning to night, with a range of activities and experiences including an aquapark, 11-story dry slide, ropes course, shaded family rest area, thematic playground and a fast-casual dining spot, making it easy to grab quick bites and refreshing drinks on the go.
NEW! “DIRTY DANCING IN CONCERT”: DAZZLING ENTERTAINMENT TO REMEMBER
Guests won’t want to miss the first-ever “Dirty Dancing in Concert” at sea. The 90-minute live-to-film concert experience will bring the World Theatre to life, with several chances to enjoy a live band, dazzling dancers and spectacular singers belting out classic songs in sync with the movie. Each event will end with guests singing along and dancing in the aisles, followed by a Dirty Dancing-themed after party continuing well into the night.
