MSC Cruises Announces New U.S. Homeport Launching in 2025
11.01.2024 - 16:21 / travelandleisure.com / Cruises
MSC Cruises is expanding its presence in the United States, planning to bring one of its newest ships to its homeport in Texas next year.
The cruise line will plan to sail the MSC Seascape out of Galveston in November 2025 with 7-night trips to Mexico and Central America, the company shared with Travel + Leisure. MSC first designated Galveston as its fourth homeport in the U.S. in 2022.
«Expanding our U.S. footprint makes our unique cruise experience more accessible to travelers in the central and western parts of the country and it illustrates our commitment to providing families in the region with unparalleled vacation options,” Rubén A. Rodríguez, the president of MSC Cruises USA, said in a statement provided to T+L. “MSC Seascape’s family-friendly amenities, award-winning entertainment and innovative offerings will help us deliver exceptional value and memorable journeys for more guests than ever before.”
From Texas, the cruise line will sail 7-night journeys to popular destinations like Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico as well as Roatan, Honduras, with the opportunity to book excursions to see Mayan ruins, snorkel by a shipwreck, and experience the sea with a glass bottom boat ride.
On board the MSC Seascape, travelers will enjoy plenty of entertainment from the Robotron robotic arm ride to a VR 360-degree flight simulator, an infinity pool, a 1,772-foot-long waterfront promenade, and more. In total, the ship includes 11 restaurants, 19 bars and lounges, and 2,270 cabins.
Bookings for the new itineraries out of Galveston went on sale on Thursday.
When the company first announced its plans to call Galveston home, Rodríguez said it represented “a big step in our ongoing North American expansion.” Beyond Texas, the company currently operates ships in the U.S. out of Miami and Port Canaveral in Florida, and from New York City's Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.

This is an as-told-to story based on a conversation with David Purcell, 78, a retired attorney. It has been edited for length and clarity. Purcell was among the dozens of people who signed up for a three-year cruise with Life at Sea — an around-the-world journey that was canceled two weeks before its departure.
