MSC Cruises is a family-owned cruise line with a fleet of 15 ships. Known for its Mediterranean-style cruising, the MSC fleet sails year-round in the Mediterranean. Its MSC Armonia and MSC Seaside are based in Miami year-round to sail the Caribbean. In 2019, the line plans to open a private island near Bimini and to offer a 119-day world cruise, its first, aboard the MSC Magnifica from Genoa, Italy.
