New ship includes a water park and themed play areas

MSC World America is starting to look like a floating theme park, as MSC Cruises has unveiled a series of new attractions as part of The Harbour – a new outdoor park.

The Harbour is located in MSC World America’s Family Aventura district. It includes a water park, an 11-deck dry slide, the Cliffhanger thrill ride, a themed playground, a ropes course, and new F&B options.

Situated in the heart of the new ship‘s open-top deck, The Harbour’s water park is called Aquapark and offers a splash area and various waterslides. These include a 90-degree vertical drop slide and a raft slide with VR.

Jaw Drop @ The Spiral is one of the longest dry slides at sea. Riders enter through the jaws of a shark before spiralling down 11 decks and enjoying sea views.

Also in The Harbour are a climbing wall for young guests, a two-level ropes course spanning 6,210 square feet, the Harbour Bar & Bites F&B outlet, and a lighthouse-themed playground with a slide and play stations.

Announced earlier this year, the Cliffhanger swing ride in The Harbour will allows guests to dangle out over the ocean at 50 metres above the water.

MSC World America will begin sailing from Miami in April 2025. In total, the ship spans 22 decks, providing 2,614 staterooms and more than 420,000 square feet of public space.

It boasts seven districts, 13 restaurants, 20 bars and lounges, six pools, 14 hot tubs, and three entertainment venues.

MSC World America also features new Lego experiences, including the first Lego-themed parade at sea. In addition, it offers a technology-driven area for kids called Doremiland.

MSC Cruises is the world’s third largest cruise line. Its fleet consist of 22 ships, with three new vessels set to launch in 2025, 2026 and 2027.
