MSC Cruises has announced its expansion in the United States with the opening of a new homeport based in Galveston, Texas, on the southern coast, and will become the homeport of MSC Seascape starting from November 2025.
Sales have already opened for year-round departures from the port, offering seven-night itineraries with Sunday embarkation. Guests will enjoy a unique itinerary that will take them to stunning destinations in the Caribbean, including Costa Maya and Cozumel (Mexico) and Isla de Roatan (Honduras), with the first departure set for November 9, 2025.
"This announcement is the latest step in our strategy to continue growing our presence in the United States. Earlier this year, we commenced operations from our third homeport in the United States, New York City, where we now sail year-round, and we are proud to add Galveston to that growing lineup alongside PortMiami and Port Canaveral. We are committed to bringing our newest, largest, and most innovative ships to the United States, and we are excited that MSC Seascape will be more easily accessible to guests in the central and western parts of the United States through Galveston, as well as to our international guests through the well-connected Houston International Airport hub," said Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises.
The innovative MSC Seascape enhances the family experience on board with a remarkable 7,500 square feet of dedicated facilities for children and cutting-edge entertainment options. Guests can enjoy a ride on the state-of-the-art robotic arm ROBOTRON, two LEGO® rooms for children aged 3 to 6 and 7 to 11, three different conceptual spaces for teenagers, a 360° VR flight simulator, VR motorcycles, and the engaging MSC Formula Racer, perfect for racing enthusiasts ready for an adrenaline boost.
MSC Cruises offers a wide range of shore excursions to immerse guests in these vibrant culturally renowned coastal destinations, from tours of ancient Maya ruins and snorkeling on shipwrecks to glass-bottom boat trips and museum tours.
