Eastern Caribbean Cruise with MSC World Atlantic

Welcome aboard MSC Cruises! The cruise line was founded in 1988 and is part of the MSC Group, which also includes, among others, the container shipping company MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company (founded in 1970) and the luxury cruise line Explora Journeys. MSC Cruises is the world's largest privately family-owned cruise line (Aponte family) and has many years of expertise on the seven seas. The Aponte family has also established an independent charitable organisation, the MSC Foundation, which is also present on board and supports many humanitarian and environmental projects.

MSC Cruises offers its guests a Mediterranean and modern lifestyle at a good price-performance ratio. Guests of all ages feel at home on the sometimes colourful, sometimes understated ships. The ships are also well received on the German market and the number of German guests is growing steadily. A knowledge of English is recommended, although some services are also offered in German.

With the MSC Yacht Club, the ‘ship-within-a-ship concept’, MSC Cruises offers an exclusive area on selected ships with luxurious suites, its own restaurant with five-star service and other amenities.

Like the other ships in the MSC World class, the MSC World Atlantic can also be powered by LNG gas. In addition, the ship is equipped with shore power connections, which means that the engines can be switched off completely in port, provided that a suitable power supply is available on land. Modern, intelligent systems on board provide guests with a comfortable travel experience while helping to keep energy and water consumption low. A comprehensive recycling concept significantly reduces waste, and the specially developed propulsion systems operate particularly quietly to minimize impact on the underwater world.

On board the MSC World Atlantic, guests can choose from a wide range of contemporary and comfortably furnished staterooms. Inside and oceanview staterooms range in size from approximately 10 to 20 sqm, depending on the category. Those who want to enjoy more space and fresh air can opt for a balcony stateroom measuring around 16 to 17 sqm with a private balcony offering views of the sea or the promenade.
