## Boarding, atmosphere, and links

Checked: 2026-07-03

### Boarding and logistics

- Japan departures: No
- Home ports: Miami (PortMiami, Florida, USA)
- Departure ports: Miami

### Atmosphere and guests

- All ages
- As a flagship for the North American market, it has a more casual, American entertainment focus than Mediterranean-based MSC World Europa. Its specialty venues, including a sports bar, British-style pub, and Eataly, have been reconfigured for North America. Families and multigenerational groups are the main audience.
- Mainly attracts guests departing from North America, especially the United States and Canada. Because it sails from Miami, the proportion of Latin American guests is also high.
