World Class · Caribbean & Bahamas
Launched in 2025 as the second World-class ship, MSC World America is a sister ship designed with the North American market in mind. It operates year-round from Miami, with standard 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries including Ocean Cay in the Bahamas. Onboard attractions include bumper cars, waterslides, and an outdoor suspension-bridge-style feature, creating long stay times for families. The forward Yacht Club is a separate area with its own pool and restaurant. Japanese-language support is generally unavailable, so the ship is aimed at travelers comfortable with English-language cruises.

There are four fare tiers, the same as on sister ship Europa: Bella (basic; the cabin number is assigned just before boarding), Fantastica (the cabin number can be chosen in advance), Aurea (comes with benefits such as spa access), and MSC Yacht Club (private area and butler service, with food, drinks, and Wi-Fi included).
Prices are shown in the onboard currency; no currency conversion is applied.
Like sister ship Europa, it uses dual-fuel propulsion fueled by LNG (liquefied natural gas), significantly reducing air pollutants. It has not been confirmed whether the world's first solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) demonstration unit installed on Europa is also installed on America.
