MSC Cruises is ordering two more World Class ships to complement the four already delivered or under construction. The cruise line has signed an order with ship builder Chantiers de l’Atlantique that will result in an eventual fleet of six World Class ships.
The two new orders—currently referred to as World Class 5 and World Class 6—will be delivered in 2029 and 2030, respectively. The ships will build further on the legacy of World Class ships, which combines environmental technology with the latest advancements in guest experiences. World Class 5 and 6 will join MSC World Europa and MSC World America, along with MSC World Asia and MSC World Atlantic, which are currently under construction and will enter service in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
MSC World America entered service in Miami last month. The ship’s new districts—like Family Aventura with the all-new Cliffhanger thrill ride—are getting rave reviews from travelers, the cruise line said. Guests have also praised the new bar and restaurant concepts ranging from the All-Stars Sports Bar to the only Eataly Restaurant at sea.
MSC World Atlantic will arrive with some surprises of its own, offering cruises from Port Canaveral upon joining the fleet in 2027.
The two new orders will be subject to access to financing as per industry practice.
