Get ready for a splashdown of fun! MSC Cruises is about to change the game when it comes to family cruises. Their newest ship, the MSC World America, is set to make waves with a new outdoor space called The Harbour. This isn’t just any old deck; it’s a water-filled wonderland, a thrill-seeker’s paradise, and a laid-back oasis all rolled into one.
Set to sail from Miami in April 2025, the MSC World America is promising a whole new world of cruising, especially for families. The ship is packed with unique spaces and activities designed with American cruisers in mind. And at the heart of it all is The Harbour, a sun-soaked escape where kids and adults can let loose and make unforgettable memories together.
Imagine a massive outdoor park on a cruise ship. That’s The Harbour. Picture yourself lounging in the sun, sipping a refreshing drink, while your kids zoom down towering water slides or climb a rock wall. Or maybe you prefer to chill out in a comfy seating area, soaking up the ocean breeze and watching the world go by. The Harbour is all that and more.
One of the standout features is the Harbour Aquapark. This watery wonderland boasts a mix of thrilling slides for adrenaline junkies and gentler splash zones for little ones. If you’re brave enough, you can even tackle the 90-degree vertical drop slide – a heart-stopping experience that will leave you breathless. For something a bit less intense, there’s a raft slide that uses virtual reality to add an extra dimension of excitement. And if you’re feeling competitive, challenge a friend to a race on the dueling body slides.
For landlubbers who prefer to stay dry, there’s plenty to do too. Jaw Drop is a mind-blowing dry slide that twists and turns its way down an incredible 11 decks. It’s like a rollercoaster without the tracks, offering stunning ocean views as you whiz by. If you’re looking for something a little more low-key, the rock-climbing wall is perfect for kids to test their climbing skills. And for those who crave a real challenge, the High Trail Ropes Course is a must-try. This two-level adventure includes zip line-like Sky Rails, so you can get your heart pumping while enjoying breathtaking sea views.
Even the little ones haven’t been forgotten. The Harbour Lighthouse is a themed playground inspired by Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas. With its colorful slides and interactive play stations, it’s the perfect place for kids to burn off energy and let their imaginations run wild.
And when it’s time for a break from all the excitement, The Harbour Bar & Bites offers complimentary grab-and-go food and drinks. It’s the ideal spot to refuel and recharge before heading back into the action. Plus, there’s a family dwelling area with comfortable seating, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the stunning ocean views.
The Harbour is just one part of the ship’s Family Aventura district, which also includes the Doremiland kids area and Sportsplex. Together, they create a vibrant hub of activity for families around the clock.
